Anthem Live Action Trailer
Electronic Arts Inc. and
Neill Blomkamp, the Academy Award-nominated director of District
9, Elysium, and Chappie, have announced that they have
collaborated on Conviction, an original live-action short-film
based on BioWare’s Anthem™. In Conviction, Blomkamp brings the vast
world of Anthem to life with his own story set decades before the beginning of
the game. This live-action short invites viewers to experience Blomkamp’s
unique style of creating photo realistic visual effects and bringing them
seamlessly into the real world, this time with EA’s highly-anticipated new
game.
A teaser of Blomkamp’s Conviction
is now live, with the full short going live February 14 on the Oats Studios YouTube channel. In the short, people will see the player city of
Fort Tarsis in the game come to life, and the freelancers that live within it.
These freelancers who use Javelin exosuits, have been re-created by Neill’s
team to show them in live action as they fight off the main villain and head
of the evil Dominion faction, the Monitor.
“I
was really blown away by this incredible world BioWare created the very first
time I saw Anthem,” said Neill
Blomkamp. “Conviction sets the stage
with a narrative that touches on Anthem’s
beautiful and immersive world, which is ripe for exploration by these powerful
Javelins. A world where danger is lurking on every ledge and in each valley.”
In Anthem, you can play with up to
three friends to explore and battle in a dangerous, mysterious world with great
characters and a unique BioWare story. As freelancers, you don Javelin
exosuits, making them powerful heroes with strong weapons and incredible
special abilities to help them survive in an ever-changing, unfinished world.
You will be able to customise and personalise your Javelins with unique
paint jobs and gear so they’ll have the right tools to confront almost any situation
and look good doing it. As you work together to find vast ruins, defeat
deadly enemies and claim otherworldly artifacts, you’ll be unlocking your own
individual story fighting against The Dominion, a ferocious militaristic
society.
You can unleash their power in Anthem worldwide on February 22 for
Origin for PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4. Origin Access Premier members can be
the first to play the full game with unlimited access on PC starting February
15, and EA Access and Origin Access Basic members can enjoy up to 10 hours of
play time as part of the Play First Trial.
