Anthem-ägare stöter på nedladdningsproblem de sista dagarna innan nedstängning

Medan Anthems servrar förbereder sig för att gå offline den 12 januari 2026 —efter EAs annonsering i juli 2025— rapporterar vissa ägare hinder för att ladda ner spelet via EA-appen, vilket potentiellt nekar sista speltillfällen för BioWares misslyckade lootershooter.

Detta följer rapporter från den pågående Anthem-nedstängningssagan. Den 5 januari belyste användare på X (tidigare Twitter) och YouTube problem: Streamern DansGaming delade ett EA-appfel som påstod att han "don’t own" spelet trots köp. YouTubern Luke Stephens ekade: "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…" En EA Play-prenumerant såg: "this game is no longer offered in our catalog."

Problemet är inkonsekvent; Kotakus Ethan Gach laddade ner framgångsrikt via EA Play. Anthem stoppade försäljning efter annonseringen, men ägare förväntade sig tillgång till slutet. Inget svar från BioWare eller EA per den 5 januari.

Anthem förblir enbart online, till skillnad från offline-lappar för andra live service-flopp (Redfall, Suicide Squad). Utvecklingssynpunkter från ex-producenten Mark Darrah noterar störningar som regissören Casey Hudsons avgång (nu på Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic) och ett skrotat omstart mitt i COVID-19. BioWare siktar på Mass Effect 5 med en krympt stab under 100.
