EA to Shut Down Anthem Servers in January 2026
TL;DR Summary
EA announced that the online game Anthem will have its servers shut down on January 12, 2026, making it unplayable after that date, with the game being removed from EA Play in August 2025. Despite initial plans to overhaul the game, BioWare decided against it, and the game's discontinuation follows its poor reception and the broader movement against game server shutdowns. The game, released in 2019 for PS4, was a commercial and critical failure, and its servers' closure marks the end of its online existence.
