Anthem Demo: Dates, VIP Demo, Early Download, Friend Codes, And More

BioWare has announced two demos for Anthem, and the first–the VIP demo–launches for select players this weekend. The second demo will be open for all, and will launch closer to Anthem’s release date.

Regardless of whether you plan on playing the VIP or free demo, you can pre-load the client right now. It’s a 26GB download on consoles and 44GB on PC.

The VIP demo is available for anyone who pre-orders Anthem or is an EA or Origin Access subscriber. You don’t have to go it alone either, as getting access to the VIP demo nets you three free invites you can send to others. In order to refer a friend, just download the demo, install it, and launch. Then, go to the “refer a friend” tab to receive a unique link you can send to someone else.

According to VG247, your friends don’t even have to use the same system as you. An Xbox One player can send a free invite to someone to use on PS4 or PC, for example. However, Anthem does not support cross-system play. If you want to play with your friends, you’ll need to tell them to use their free invite on the same system you’re using.

The VIP Anthem demo goes live on Friday, January 25 at 9AM PT / 10AM ET / 5PM UK. It ends Sunday, January 27 at 6PM PT / 9PM ET, which is January 28 at 2AM in the UK. The follow-up free demo will be February 1-3, and begin and end at the same times as the VIP demo. Anthem is an always online game, so you’ll need an internet connection to play either demo, as well as Xbox Live Gold or PlayStation Plus if you’re planning on playing on Xbox One or PS4.

Both Anthem demos are identical in content, so you won’t miss out on much playing the second free one. You’ll start at level 10 about halfway through Anthem’s campaign, and have access to the Ranger with the choice to unlock another Javelin of your choice. Your character will be able to go up to level 15, and you’ll be able to explore the world, as well as complete a story mission and a stronghold. Any progress you make in the VIP demo carries over into the free demo, but neither one will carry over into the main game. However, playing the VIP demo will unlock a free gift in the main game at launch.

Anthem releases on February 22 for Xbox One, PS4, and PC. If you have EA Access, you can play the Xbox One and PC version on February 15.

Star Trek Discovery Season 2: All The Easter Eggs So Far

While Star Trek found a new lease of life on the big screen in 2009, it had been more than a decade since the last TV show in the long-running sci-fi franchise when Star Trek: Discovery premiered in September 2017. The show’s producers faced the difficult task of making a show that appealed to modern audiences and new fans, as well as satisfying die-hard, long-term Trek devotees.

However, while the first season of Discovery took the story and characters in some surprising directions, it was also very aware of its past. Every episode contained multiple references and callbacks to something from the grand 54-year history of Star Trek, which you can check out in our Season 1 Easter Eggs gallery. Sometimes these were sly jokes that only the most dedicated fan would spot, and sometimes they were crucial plot-points.

Season 2 has now started, and it’s clear that the Easter Eggs, callbacks, in-jokes and references will continue; after all, the season starts with an encounter with the Enterprise and the introduction of Captain Pike, a character who featured in the first episode of the original series. We also know that Spock is set to play a major part in this story. So let’s take a look at all the Discovery Season 2 Easter Eggs so far…

Fans have waited for years, but it’s finally upon us: Crackdown 3 is set to release on February 15. One of the biggest Xbox One console exclusives for 2019, Crackdown 3 is an open-world action game that pits your super-powered agent against a terrorist group called Terra Nova.

As in previous installments, the campaign finds your agent powering up until you can throw cars through the air and leap up tall buildings in a single bound. But the biggest addition comes in the cloud-powered multiplayer, where you can bring down entire skyscrapers as you hunt for enemies.

The Best Smash Bros. Ultimate Characters, According to Pros

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has been out for over a month now, and as the first couple of tournaments come and go, giving the best players a stage to showcase what their characters can do, the meta of the game is starting to take shape.

We all no doubt have our own convictions on what characters are the best, likely shaped by who the last characters were to 3 stock us online, but we wanted to find out what the pros think.

Just getting into Smash? Here are our picks for starting fighters:

So, we picked the brains of five professional Smash Brothers Ultimate players – ZeRo, Mew2King, Hungrybox, JTails, and DaBuz – to find out their thoughts on the current state of competitive Smash Ultimate.

Get a Great Deal on a Samsung 4K TV Before Patriots vs. Rams

If you buy something through this post, IGN may get a share of the sale. For more, read our Terms of Use.

It’s that time of year again: football season is nearly over. That means the coming days will have some solid chances to save on a new TV ahead of the NFL championship game. This year it’s the New England Patriots versus the Los Angeles Rams. Can 41 year-old Tom Brady bring one more win to the people of New England? It’s hard to know. One thing is for sure, though: the Rams are without question America’s favorite football team right now.

The match-up is scheduled for February 3 on NBC and unfortunately won’t be broadcast in 4K: in spite of the fact 4K cameras will be filming the event, it’s being broadcast in regular old 1080p. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t take advantage of game day deals on 4K TVs. The future belongs to 4K content, and with 4K TV deals like a 43-inch Samsung for only $297.99, there’s not really a compelling reason NOT to make the jump to ultra-high definition.

Mads Mikkelsen on Netflix’s Polar and His Love for Assassin Movies

Warning! Some spoilers follow for what we saw being filmed for Netflix’s Polar!

Back in March of 2018, in an abandoned power plant near Toronto, Mads Mikkelsen along with dozens of heavily-armed extras, prep for one of the biggest actions sequences in the film. While the mood between Mikkelsen and his fellow actors is cheerful, the production and safety departments are deadly serious, ensuring that we are equipped with hard hats and earmuffs to shield us from the thunderous cacophony of gunfire. Without going into spoilers… it was an awesome experience to behold, giving us our first look at Netflix’s new action-packed movie, Polar.

Polar, based on the Dark Horse graphic novel written by Victor Santos, centers on the legendary assassin Duncan Vizla (Mikkelsen), aka The Black Kaiser. Quickly approaching the age of 50, it’s time for Duncan to retire, but his employer won’t let him go quietly into the night. With his back against the wall, Duncan is once again forced to use his deadly skills in order to stay alive.

The LEGO Movie 2’s Lord and Miller Explain Their Meta Universe

The animated blockbuster The LEGO Movie was more than just another nostalgic romp through the world of anthropomorphic toys. As we learned in that film’s surprising climax, it actually takes place within the imagination of a child. To young audiences, this was a mindblower. To older audiences, it was a head-scratcher, which raised a lot of questions about how this world really works.

In a Q&A after Tuesday’s screening of The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part, Phil Lord and Chris Miller – who co-wrote and directed the original film, and co-wrote and produced the sequel – revealed that they have answers to our nerdiest questions about the underlying laws of the LEGO movie universe.

There is always the hope that as time passes things get better, products improve. On paper that is certainly the case with the Vizio P65-F1 (See it at Walmart). Compared to last year’s model, it has a higher light output for better HDR, and it just looks more stylish. Its $1,200 price (street) puts it in a crowded market though, so let’s see if the improvements help it stand out.
