EA has confirmed the start dates for both VIP and public players as the highly anticipated demo for Bioware’s Anthem are released.

Two separate dates have been laid down for fans to get 3 days to play the game to their hearts content, starting on January 25th-27th for VIP players and then February 1st-3rd for public players.

So besides the different starting dates, what’s the difference between the VIP and public demo?



Well, VIP players will also receive an exclusive demo item that shows how you were one of the first players to play Anthem. The 2 demo dates include all platforms Anthem is playable on namely PS4, Xbox One and PC.

Bioware has confirmed that every player in the demo will start at level 10 on the progression system while they also confirmed that no saved data would carry over to when Anthem fully releases in February.

It seems that Bioware will have some sort of deal with Microsoft given that it was shown on the Microsoft stage at E3 2017. It’s certainly going to get the Xbox One X Enhanced treatment. But whether that means native 4K or a checkerboard resolution, we’ll just have to wait and see.

After the less than positive reception for Bioware’s last game, Mass Effect Andromeda, they desperately need Anthem to be a critical and financial success.

Anthem releases on on PS4, Xbox One and PC on February 22nd, 2019. For more information on Anthem, head on over to the Bioware website.
