BioWare’s upcoming sci-fi RPG Anthem is among the more anticipated titles coming out in the not too distant future. Players, armed to the teeth with massive mech suits, will be able to explore an expansive open world. Players will encounter horrible creatures and interesting places once the title releases with an enticing storyline to boot.

For those who don’t want to wait for the February 22nd release date, EA is offering ways that players can dive in early. A “VIP demo” is available to any pre-order of Anthem starting on February 1st, 2019 and those with EA and/or Origin Access. On February 15th, a 10-hour trial will begin for those who face EA Access or the Basic Origin Access. For those who have Origin Access Premier, the full game will be available on February 15th without limits.

Of course, fans who have these options available are likely to be delighted to hear this news. In light of the game’s delayed release until 2019, early access will mean less waiting time for many players. There may, however, be frustration among some who feel that EA’s business practices have turned away from the players in favor of more profit.

In summation, players with pre-orders can check out Anthem as early as February 1st, 2019 with a demonstration of the game. A 10-hour trial begins on February 15th for those who have EA and Origin Basic Access, and the full game will be available at the same time for those with Origin Access Premier. Anthem officially releases for PS4, Xbox One, and PC on February 22nd.
