I still anticipate one more delay personally.

EA Confirms Anthem Will Release between January and March 2019
- Thread starter Aokiji
- Start date
Depending on when Division 2 is releasing, and that's in the middle of the typical Destiny lull, that overall sounds like a good time to release the game.
Somehow, despite Bungie's fuck-ups I'm not confident that EA can deliver a more fun game than Destiny
aka "BioWare has to release the game before the end of the FY no matter the quality of it"
I expect a shitfest but hope for the best.

It will be hard to beat the gunplay of Destiny, not so much in other areas.
I mean alot of us live in countries where it's still cold as hell from Dec-April. What else is there to do than Video games and Vodka?
Really? It's a game where there's enough progress on that they wanted to announce it with no actual footage before E3. I wouldn't think they would do that for a game that far away.
Difference being that Anthem wasn't badly mismanaged for years before a last minute all hands on deck crunch to whip it into shape. As far as we know.
The main Bioware team have been on Anthem since finishing Mass Effect 3.
Unless they changed the settings for The Division 2 from snowy everything, I guess it'll come out in Winter like the first game. Which is gonna be perfect for Anthem.
I'm interested in it, but i'll not be pre-ordering based on their recent track record and what they're chasing. If it's some Destiny like cash in, then nope. If it's close to Andromeda, then nope.
If it's a high quality product that can stand on its own with an actual campaign and a full fledged narrative similar to a Mass Effect 1-3 then sure.
Highly recommend not pre-ordering and falling for the b.s.

Fair point.
I wasn't a fan of Mass Effect 3 so they've got to show something real good to win me overwith Anthem.
I'm curious to see more from the game, but I'm also still not completely sold on it.
That'd be enough for me to forget about Anthem.
Hopefully we get a real good, confident showing of the game at E3 this year.
The reveal trailer was hype. I'm looking for some substance now. The negativity hasn't got me down yet. I think Bioware are still capable of greatness.
My guess would be that Anthem will have a strong campaign but struggle to deliver enough end game content and frequent updates for the multiplayer crowd. That's where Bioware's strengths and weaknesses lie, anyway.
Nah, it's coming out before Anthem. Ubi has four AAA games coming out 2018-2019 fiscal year: Skull & Bones, The Crew 2, and then most likely Division 2 and Watch Dogs 3.
Well, something will release I'm sure. Good thing they've given themselves 10 years to support it after that.
I hope it turns out to be good. It's one of the few Bioware games that I've been interested in. (the other two were SW: TOR and DA: I)
Hope they at least show a more in depth look at the game at E3, stuff like the loot and upgrade systems in the game, and maybe some story focused stuff. Without that I'm still not sure whether to get interested in this or not. If it's too multiplayer and loot focused (ala Destiny) then I'll probably not care for it, but if it has at least some of the story stuff I come to Bioware games for, it could be a winner for me.
Even with the huge disappointment that was Mass Effect Andromeda, I still like most of Bioware's stuff and hope this is a return to quality.

It sounds like a good time, except for the fact that we don't what else are coming out, especially games from Ubisoft.
Ubisoft has been releasing games in late Feb to March for last few years and it rewarded them big time. Considering how successful Ghost Recon Wildland, Far Cry 5, and to a lesser extent, Far Cry Primal, I don't see them not releasing anything at that time next year.
Of course, this is assuming Bioware won't delay it.

You're crazy. Borderlands 3 is gonna be huge. Gearbox didn't even make TPS.
Not bad timing, considering that's usually during one of Destiny's "droughts". The only issue here is when The Division 2 comes out; it may be vying for a similar date.
Let's not do this.
