Anthem-Besitzer haben Download-Probleme in den letzten Tagen vor dem Shutdown

Während Anthem-Server sich auf den Offline-Gang am 12. Januar 2026 vorbereiten —nach EA-Ankündigung im Juli 2025—, melden einige Besitzer Hindernisse beim Download des Spiels über die EA-App, die letzte Spielstunden für BioWares gescheitertes Looter-Shooter verhindern könnten.

Dies folgt Berichten aus der laufenden Anthem-Shutdown-Saga. Am 5. Januar hoben Nutzer auf X (ehemals Twitter) und YouTube Probleme hervor: Streamer DansGaming teilte einen EA-App-Fehler mit, der behauptet, er „don’t own“ das Spiel trotz Kauf. YouTuber Luke Stephens echote: „EA won't let me download Anthem, even though it shuts down a week from now… Crazy that I bought the game and can't even download it while it's still, allegedly, alive…“ Ein EA-Play-Abonnent sah: „this game is no longer offered in our catalog.“

Das Problem ist inkonsistent; Ethans Gach von Kotaku lud erfolgreich über EA Play herunter. Anthem stoppte Verkäufe nach der Ankündigung, Besitzer erwarteten aber Zugriff bis zum Ende. Keine Reaktion von BioWare oder EA Stand 5. Januar.

Anthem bleibt rein online, im Gegensatz zu Offline-Patches für andere Live-Service-Flops (Redfall, Suicide Squad). Entwicklungsinsights vom Ex-Producer Mark Darrah nennen Störungen wie den Ausstieg des Directors Casey Hudson (nun bei Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic) und ein während COVID-19 verworfenes Reboot. BioWare plant Mass Effect 5 mit einem schrumpfen Team unter 100.
