ANTHEM is still far from its release, but announcements and reveals are already stacking up. One example is the brand new 3-issue Anthem Comic Books
BioWare’s Anthem is a brand new ambitious third person action game. Not just that, but it’s also a new IP in the company’s collection of video games and series. This gives the developers complete freedom to create a new fictional world, rich with lore and ancient secrets for players to explore.The game releases on February 22nd and a week after that is the premiere date for a freshly announced comic book series, as comicbook.com reports. BioWare teamed up once again with Dark Horse for this project.
The new three-issued series will attempt to fill in gaps in the player’s knowledge of events prior to the video game’s story.
You can take a look at the cover of the first issue “A New Verse” below.
The team behind the comic series features well-known names from the industry:
- Writers – Mac Walters (Mass Effect: Foundation), Alexander Freed (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story).
- Artists – Eduardo Francisco and Michael Atiyeh.
Comicbook.com reveals the plot of the story as well – we will follow a young boy named Kismet, who has been rescued by the old-school Freelancer Yarrow, who at the start of Anthem is retired, but still remembers the times when the Freelancers were a lot more respected and important in the eyes of the general population of Fort Tarsis. Both Kismet and his adoptive sister Jani fight alongside Yarrow for a brighter future of the humanity in the wild and unfriendly world of Anthem.
The first issue releases on February 27th. You will be able to pre-order it from Amazon among other stores and marketplaces.
For the most hard-core Anthem and Dark Horse fans, let me remind you that The Art of Anthem book is now available for pre-order at Amazon. It is a behind-the-scenes look at the story and art of the video game and its world.
The Art of Anthem showcases the grandeur and beauty of this dangerous new world. Filled with behind-the-scenes looks at the production of the game, original concept art, and exclusive commentary from the developers and Anthem Art Director Derek Watts, The Art of Anthem is a fantastic addition to any gamer fan’s bookshelf!
