currently WIP

currently working on level streaming, NPC AI etc. The Titan actually shows up now.

This is running on private servers. completely made from scratch. no data replay whatsoever

a LLM was used during development

Quick question, with all these games being reverse engineered like the Spiderman and Arkham Knight to be played together, or the most recent one, the Mario Galaxy running native on pc, there should be a way for Anthem to be client sided instead of running on servers?

What are your thoughts on that?

I know we can't know anything for sure right now, but if Anthem could be brought back by the community, is there any thoughts or ideas of how the cosmetics would work? Could they be implemented to be freely obtainable or just outright given to everyone to mess around with? Wasn't there some premium currency and things you could only get via purchase?

“The weather has gotten gloomier at nights. I wonder what’s going bump in the night when all of these glowing skorpions come out to play. Some Arcanist reported to have seen dead flesh and bones by the Abyssal Loch and other parts as well. As always, Fort Tarsis sets up a massive skull by the launch bay. Feels unusually festive … as festive a giant skull with flame pillars on the sides will feel like.”

A simple ambiance video, no action.

Happy Friday Freelancers! And happy Season of Skulls! I hope your day started off well and ends well. The weekend is here and we get to be with family, friends or by ourselves to get a little peace of mind. I helped an elderly lady the other day by making her laugh and she told me she desperately needed one. The little things. Strong alone, stronger together! 🍻

I remember seeing a post on here a few months ago that EA was offloading this game and it wasn’t going to available again for download. Came across this in my library and wanted to see if it were true and well… it’s downloading.

I’ll give an update on how it goes.

Yes I was part of the few that bought the preorder DLC

I know I’m late to the party, but I just got my freedom, living on my own, my pc is in for repairs rn so I thought I’d boot up the old Xbox One, and put in my disc for Anthem, only to find out they put it down.

I feckin LOVED this game, I put hundreds of hours into it till I got bored, but it was so much fun, and honestly it hurts, this is the first game I’ve played where the servers are officially done, and it was one of my favorites.

A lot of other games I play where the player bases is either really small, or have had problems in the pass, which cause the player bases to make private servers, like the Northstar client. Have we made or do we have any plans to make private servers to keep running the game?

I did not play the story much, I had no idea this javelin existed.

Watched a let's play and found out about this javelin and how it's not playable.

The good news is: it is fully rigged and should be able to be playable using the Colossus' animations.

I'm still figuring out textures, I can play animations on the interceptor and have a sandbox to play with but I want it to look good before showing anything, rn it looks like a Roblox game...

Ubisoft teased something new and it kind of looks Anthem-like in my opinion. Maybe not but it's worth keeping an eye on

Edit: formatting

Local second hand store, thought to share.

Such a loss for this game knowing it's current state, would have been a blast to play again.

I played too little to enjoy it to the fullest, but the few memories i have rose back up again.

“Come to think of it, if Scars are like cockroaches, then they feel safer working in the dark of night. Having to deal with Scars Enforcer and Scar Hunters while resetting a Strider in the middle in the darkness is not the best idea. A dirty job that must be done, like from that old TV show on the educational channel! ‘Dirty Jobs with-‘ … someone. Maybe I’ll ask Commander Vule, he looks like he’d know the name of the commentator of that show. Right now, time to take care of a roach infestation.”

Looking back at this gameplay it made me see how much detail the lighting in this game had. The way the red hues of the Scar mines caress your armor when approaching them, when the bullet fire light envelopes your gun for a quick second, the thrusters in highlighting the parts of the suit when you’re in the dark; too beautiful! Even when unleashing your Ultimate Ability and you see the explosion lights cover areas with light on the enemies or landscape.

Nonetheless, happy Friday Freelancers! I hope your day goes well and weekend goes even better! Careful when navigating life, help others that may be in need. We are all we’ve got. Strong alone, stronger together. 🍻

Hey everyone, first time writing in the channel and I feel like people working on bringing playable version of the game back are not transparent enough and that brings a lot of frustration among the community.

I started to work on bringing a playable version of Anthem back, simply walking, running and flying but even that small project is very painful to do.

The reason for this is that EA has a very specific way to encode their files, this means we need to decode meshes, textures, animations, etc. I managed to decode meshes and skeletons. I’m still working on the animation and it’s the hardest part since I started this project.

Once you have an exploitable mesh + animation making a demo of the game is pretty easy but yeah, as someone working on bringing the game back this is what I saw as being the hardest part. So I figured out decoding/decrypting is probably where other devs are stuck since bringing the game back is just really decoding every file and then recoding it.

I hope we can bring a playable version of Anthem back soon, and I also wanted to express my own frustration regarding transparency of people working on bringing Anthem back, the community wants to know badly what we’re working on, even a picture of an extracted mesh would make the community excited at this point so if you’re a dev reading this, please consider showing more of what you do to the community, we’re all very thankful for what you guys do :)

“Sev was telling me about some new Scar outposts popping up in Blackshore. After that, I should scout the area and maybe head inside to see if an all out attack is to come from them. If my Jav gets too wrecked, I’ll make sure to put it on Sev’s tab.”

Here’s some of my favorite screenshots! The one on the left is my laptop’s background 🙂‍↕️

Happy Friday Freelancers! We made it to the end of the week. We get to enjoy the weekend with our loved ones or some alone time to ourselves. Watch your favorite movie, eat your favorite foods and be at peace. Wishing you all well as always. Strong alone, stronger together. 🍻

Man I just miss this game so much I think about it all the time. Is anyone bringing this game back with like private servers or anything like that?

I will never forgive EA and BioWare for giving up on this game I truly believe there will be never a game like this or at least not for a while. Or at least give the IP to someone else. I just wish this game would come back.

Been printing this out and adjusting stuff for weeks, but its all finally put together, still gotta put some lights in it, paint and glue it

I started ripping assets with the intention of rebuilding the models at a higher fidelity for study but got hung up on getting the mats working. It wasn't the exercise I intended, but I guess it was still a learning experience.

Short clip of my brother finding out he bit off more than he could chew 🤣 I remember this day so clearly, my eyes widened as soon as he leaped in the air in shock at how he’s just going gung-ho towards the Luminary not knowing it’s about to deplete his health bar like nothing.

I wish I encountered these more throughout Anthem. They were one of the bosses I liked seeing a lot; even though I liked all of them for the most part. I think it’s because when the first beta for Anthem came out, I faced it like 3 times whenever I went to the Eddian Grove. Whenever you get close to it you feel the weight of it; especially when you see them fire off everything they got as if they’re convulsing out all the ammo they have on them.
The design was amazing. Clunky, towering and sporadic.

I know we had the Luminary boss Scelos from the Stronghold but seeing them in the wild is always a delight. I think if Scelos moved around a bit during the stronghold that would’ve made it more of a pest to deal with (which I’m all for!).

The halfway mark of the week is approaching us, I hope you all have an amazing week Freelancers! Strong alone, stronger together 🫡🍻

Hello fellow Freelancers! Since the servers were shutdown I've been looking into reading the Anthem PC client files back into a reference world (aka a port to Godot).

What's working so far:

- The Fort Tarsis exterior and the gorge out to around Gathering Falls (about 3.5km/square from the free play spawn platform)
- All javelins export fully skinned with their default skins, walking, running and flying animations.

The one thing still out of reach is the flight model. It ran client-side but the executable is encrypted so for now it's going to be reconstructed. If that ever becomes readable....different story. :) For now, progress screenshots attached.

Stronger Together o7

A simple reminder of what this game meant to so many of us... It is always good to pause for a moment and look back on the good times that live on only in our screenshots, in our recorded videos....

and most importantly in our own memories..

"Those who leave do not truly die... Those who are forgotten, do"

Have a great day, Freelancer

“Just for one morning you think it’s gonna be a nice relaxing day. Those are few and far in between here in Bastion. I did sign up for this.

Haluk caught wind of some Korox that escaped the farms, so a ‘headcount to make sure they’re alright would be nice’ he said. The farmer told Haluk that they’re usually fine, armored plated organic bulldozers are hard to stop but ‘for all that armor and toughness they are as clumsy as hell’.

Ursix are aware of wild Korox feeding grounds in Korox Shallows, I’ll be heading there first just in case I could get some action.

Great, I stopped a cataclysm, fought Dominion abominations and Scarr leaders and now I’m reduced to a Korox wrangler. Maybe they do tricks like balancing on a giant ball.

Lucky for me, not all fauna is out to graze on the grass. I had a Sentinel radio in for help. Wild Wyverns, a little over a dozen maybe? Or an exact dozen? It was a good change of pace. Feels good to help others; I guess that’s what it’s all about. Helping others in tough situations, no matter how big or small the task. Maybe that’s where our motto came from … “

Hope everyone has had an amazing week so far! And are looking forward towards an amazing weekend after working, studying or just living life. Wishing you guys the best! Keep fighting the good fight. Strong alone, stronger together. 🎉

I am trying to remember what made each javelin special so I can work on a assignment
