It is understandable for any gamer to have reservations about BioWare’s upcoming action-RPG Anthem. After the less-than-stellar launch of Mass Effect Andromeda, fans were quick to blame the new project for the failings of the storied franchise’s latest installment. However, that shouldn’t stop anyone from giving Anthem a chance, especially after the in-depth look we’re all about to receive next week.

The EA Play event is right around the corner, and the publisher recently revealed that Anthem will be getting quite a bit of attention at this year’s show. A new trailer is expected to drop, along with more gameplay and a combat showcase. The developers themselves will also be there to give fans “a look behind the curtain.” Before we get into a bit more detail, let’s check out the teaser that just dropped:

Here are the five things, according to EA, that will be seen at next week’s event:

1. A New Trailer

That’s right, we’re delivering an unseen trailer that delves into the dangerous world of Anthem. You’ll get a glimpse into the story, characters, and monsters that bring the game to life.

2. More Gameplay

Last year we showed off some of the core gameplay that you can expect from Anthem – flying, fighting, and of course, collecting loot. And this year we’re happy to show off some more. Tune in to see it all.

3. Combat Showcase

One thing we’ll be showing in-depth this time around is combat. The power of the Javelin exosuit will be on full display as players take on the most ferocious enemies seen yet.

4. Developer Insights

The dev team at BioWare has been hard at work, and now they’re ready to show it off in-person. Hear some of the guiding principles that have shaped the development of Anthem as BioWare General Manager Casey Hudson, Executive Producer Mark Darrah, and Lead Writer Cathleen Rootsaert take the stage.

5. A Look Behind The Curtain

Along with hearing from the developers themselves, we’ll be showing off some of the concept and production art of Anthem. You’ll get a chance to see the craftsmanship that has built this incredible world from the ground up.

Anthem is expected to launch in early 2019 for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. Before then, however, EA Play will kick things off on June 9 at 11am PT.
