Anthem is an upcoming shared-world shooter that puts you in a power suit called a Javelin and has you conquer enemies and collect piles of loot. It's made by BioWare, the developer behind series like Mass Effect and Dragon Age, and its recent betas have helped drum up a whole lot of hype. Anthem is set to launch on PS4, Xbox One, and PC on February 22, though some people can play it early (see below).
