Anthem has been out for for just over a week (or two, when you consider EA early access). The game was labelled as a potential Destiny killer, but a myriad of game design problems and a string of negative reviews ahead of its full launch have undoubtedly curtailed sales for the game. In the United Kingdom, for instance, Anthem sold just 10% of what the first Destiny sold in its first week.
Despite the negativity surrounding the title, Anthem producer Michael Gamble stated that “lots of folks” were playing the title, assuaging fans that BioWare would not be shuttered after initially poor Anthem sales metrics. The studio pushed out a large Day One patch for the title, and will undoubtedly be working on fixes to help improve the standard of the game to a level that satisfies its fanbase.
Anthem is available now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
