Following the reveal ofAnthem’s release date anda long-awaited trailerduring Microsoft’s Xbox E3 2018 press conference, the video game developer BioWare has been steadily divulging details about what players should expect from the forthcoming action-RPG. Just recently, in fact, the studio’s Technical Design Director, Brenon Holmes, confirmed the just how big map size will be for the game’s Javelin-wearing warriors to explore.
As it so happens, Holmes replied to a thread onAnthem’s official subreddit that asked if the map shown in the screenshot from user “SwellyNelly” was the going to be the game’s entire map, with the BioWare Technical Design Director confirming that aside from some segments of it that haven’t been shown, it’s basically the action-RPG’s whole world. According to Holmes, “There’s a bit missing at the top and bottom in this screen-grab though.”
Naturally, it’s difficult to determine exactly how bigAnthem’s world will be and what its scope will actually feel like until the game is out next year, but the screenshot in the image below definitely provides fans with a solid ballpark estimation of the map’s size. Should one want to get a somewhat better understanding as to what a small fragment of the map will look like whileAnthemis being played, one would do well to check outthis hefty gameplay demo right here.
BeyondAnthem’s map size, there’s still plenty more to learn about the game before it officially hits store shelves toward the beginning of 2019, and it’s a safe bet to make that BioWare will continue to trickle out the details as it sees fit. With this being the case, one can only hope thatthe upcoming betagives gamers a good dose of content that acts as a close representative of what the final version of the project will be like.
Anthemis set to launch on June 12, 2025 for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
