Bioware's latest Sci-fi action role-playing game looks to be closer to going public as Electronic Arts announce open sign-ups for the "Anthem" closed alpha test. Fans of Bioware's work who want to see the current state of the game that seems to have replaced the "Mass Effect" franchise after "Mass Effect Andromeda's" lackluster performance should consider signing up.
According to the Electronic Arts support page, the "Anthem" closed alpha will occur for a limited time only from Dec. 8 to Dec. 9. Electronic Arts mentions that the "Anthem" closed alpha will help introduce new players to Bioware's latest creation while ironing out potential issues for the game's matchmaking and server capacity. Fans who want to make sure they get to sign-up for the "Anthem" closed alpha have until Dec. 3 to register their emails and specify their preferred device.
Gamers who sign up for the "Anthem" closed alpha will be able to choose between playing on the PC, PlayStation 4, or Xbox One. The "Anthem" closed alpha requires only one device to be registered which players will have to stick with for the whole event. Unfortunately, the "Anthem" closed alpha will be unavailable for PlayStation 4 users in Japan, Asia, and Korea regions
Upon signing up, players will have the option to specify a schedule when they would like to participate in the "Anthem" closed alpha. As Gamespot points out, the "Anthem" closed alpha will not be a full two-day event that players can choose to drop in and out. The specific session schedules that gamers choose when they register for the "Anthem" closed alpha will be unmodifiable so fans should take the time to consider their choice.
Electronic Arts state that players who sign up for the "Anthem" closed alpha should expect to encounter a limited build of the game with access to specific features that the developers want public feedback on. In addition, players who sign up for the event will be bound by a non-disclosure agreement which means that streaming or sharing content about the "Anthem" closed alpha is not allowed.
Players looking forward to experiencing the world of "Anthem" for the first time can sign up for the closed alpha on the Electronic Arts Community Playtesting page. Gamers can pre-download the game after registering for the "Anthem" closed alpha to ensure that they are ready to play before their scheduled playtest sessions. For gamers who were unable to sign up for the "Anthem" closed alpha before slots have been filled, Electronic Arts promises that a waitlist will be made.
