Bioware delays anthem until 2019 due to loot box controversy

Anthem is one of the most anticipated video games for this year 2018, now fans have taken a jug of cold water after learning that the Bioware title is delayed until next year 2019.

Anthem will not hit the market this year 2018

Apparently this decision to delay the release of Anthem is due to the controversies that have been experienced recently with Destiny 2 and Star Wars Battlefront 2. The Bioware game is based on an open world, the perfect ingredient to include micro-transactions so they will not miss the opportunity to cash in players over and over again.

Belgium defines loot boxes as a dangerous game and investigates their elimination

Recall that at the end of 2017 there was a great controversy over micro-transactions and loot boxes within video games, such has been the magnitude of the case that it has even reached the Belgian Parliament that has classified them as a game of chance. The new promised launch date places Anthem on the market in early 2019, it will have to be seen if there is no new delay.

In any case, it is a very complex video game, so the promised release date, autumn 2018, seemed a very difficult goal to meet. Anthem was one of the highlights of the past E3, since it is an open world game with an impressive level of graphic quality, it will have to be seen if it remains in the final version or ends up irremediably succumbing to the downgrade.
