As of right now, EA has removed the ability to purchase premium currency in the game, and it's scheduled to be delisted from EA Play next month, on August 15. Players who already own the game - or who purchased it before that August date - will still get to play it before its closure in January.

In the FAQ section of its statement, EA clarified that Anthem will remain downloadable and playable from digital libraries until Jan. 12, 2026. While premium currency can no longer be purchased, existing currency is still usable. Anthem has been removed for sale from digital stores, and will be removed from the EA Play library on Aug. 15.

Times are tough for the revered studio as its last game, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, failed to meet EA's expectations and it's estimated that fewer than 100 staff members are left, down from its peak of over 400 employees. The studio's next game is a n ew entry in the Mass Effect series, which is being developed by a "core" team.
