The Anthem demo starts at level 10 and lets you play with all its toys

January 2, 2019 The Anthem demo will give a cross section of missions and the Fort Tarsis stronghold.

Anthem is one of the first big triple-A releases out in 2019 but there's still a lot of the game that we've not seen. Thankfully, there are plans for two free demos to be released ahead of its launch. We knew the release dates already - January 25 and February 1 - but, speaking on Twitter, lead producer Michael Gamble has revealed a little more about what the previews will include. You'll dive into Anthem's demo at level 10, skipping past the very early game content. From there you will have access to the Fort Tarsis singleplayer hub, a set of missions, and "some freeplay". It's that freeplay I'm excited for. When Ben played Anthem at Gamescom he was thrilled by the movement of the Javelin battlesuits. While that will come across in missions, in open world games it's usually the time between missions - without the pressure of objectives - that movement comes to life.
