BioWare Confirms Anthem’s Open Beta, Starts On Feb 2

BioWare has just announced that VIP Demo players will be given all four javelins during the game’s open beta next week. After recent problems on servers I was hoping a delay in Anthem’s open beta, but this Saturday all players will be able to try the game (hopefully).

Progress made in the VIP demo will be available in the open beta which goes live on February 2nd through the 4th.

Read this message shared on the game’s twitter:

“As a further thank you, all four javelins are available now in the Forge for players who have played in this weekend’s demo,”… “Won’t get a chance to jump in? They will be waiting for VIP participants next weekend!”
