The closed alpha of BioWare‘s upcoming game, Anthem, will take place on the 8th and 9th of December. The closed alpha is available for the Playstation 4, Xbox One and PC.

Anthem was teased by BioWare during E3 2014 where they unveiled a new IP in a short clip. BioWare later officially announced the game in 2017 during EA Play press conference. Since then, they have released gameplay videos, showing off the game’s great graphics and combat. Unfortunately for fans, the developers moved the release date to 2019 from the scheduled 2018 release to make way for Battlefield V.

Interested players can pre-register for the closed alpha at the EA Community Playtesting website. Access to the closed alpha will be given on a ‘first-come, first-serve’ basis. Once accepted, players will receive an email detailing how to install Anthem.
