Anthem’s Closed Alpha Begins Soon, Registration Now Open
BioWare is holding a closed alpha for its upcoming online multiplayer action RPG Anthem from December 8-9, and registration is open now until December 3.
Announced by EA, the alpha is part of EA’s Community Playtesting program, and will be available on PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4, though openings are predictably limited.

To sign up, simply head to the EA Community Playtesting webpage, sign in with an EA account, choose a platform and when you’d like to play the alpha, and submit. Registration is "first come first served” and if you get in, a confirmation will appear on the Community Playtesting site, and you will receive an email letting you know how to download the alpha.
