After more than six years on life support, Anthem, that one EA sci-fi game that no one knew was even alive, is finally shutting down its servers. EA is officially closing up shop on Jan. 12 next year, meaning Anthem will have been online for nearly seven years straight.
"After careful consideration, we will be sunsetting Anthem on January 12, 2026," EA's July 3 announcement reads, with the company adding that those who still wish to do so (for whatever reason) can play the game over the upcoming six months. At the start of next year, however, what's done is done, and Anthem is going offline.
