The next great title from Electronics Arts and BioWare continues to warm up engines. Since we first met him Anthem At E3 2017, the company has been giving small details about this incredible adventure that will come to PS4, Xbox One y PC on Origin starting next February 22.
This is the story of Anthem
As you can see in the first chapter of this is athem, the game will take place in Athem, a world that "the shaping gods" did not complete and where humanity resists surviving in large fortified cities and with the help of halberds, complexes exosuits that allow whoever wears it to have key superhuman abilities to survive in the unexplored world of Athem. These soldiers are called freelancers, and they will be in charge of reviewing all corners of the world to take control of the hymn of creation, a mighty power that in the wrong hands could wreak havoc.
That will be the main task, and to achieve it we will have to equip our halberd with different abilities, weapons, and accessories to complete and overcome the missions that come our way. To start with the story we will have to choose a type of halberd that will be locked at the beginning of the game. There are four different ones, and these are their main characteristics.

Halberd Types Available in Anthem
The four characters that we can choose in Anthem are these:
- Interceptor: Quick and agile to sneak out of danger zones and make very fast interceptions. Ideal for those accustomed to speed and quick reflexes.
- Command: Straight shot. He is one of the most complete and balanced characters, with great firepower.
- Colossus: Designed for containment actions. It has great resistance and will be in charge of unblocking large defenses with its great brutal force. On the contrary, she is slower than the rest.
- Storm: His magical powers will cause great damage from a distance, although he has a weak defense in his armor.
Whichever halberd you choose, you will be able to customize it as you progress through the game to refine the attack and defense points that stand out the most. You will be able to change aspects such as paint and materials, and select different animations with which to bring your character to life.
Anthem will hit stores on February 22, but you can get the chance to play early access if you have an EA Access or Origin Access account.
