EA's Destiny style MMO Anthem is coming early next year, February 22nd to be more precise, but before 2018 finishes, the team at Bioware are going to hold a closed Alpha test.
The news was announced earlier this evening during a new developer stream for the game.
Bioware revealed that the Mech focussed space shooter will welcome played into the closed Alpha on December 8th for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. However, participants can only register to play on one device.
Admittedly though, it's not lasting very long, with players only able to take part for one day until December 9th.
Equally, it won't be available for the entire time period, but instead, EA has said that the test will hold "multiple sessions" spread throughout the weekend.
"Its an opportunity for you to check out Anthem but well also be adjusting things like matchmaking and server load on the fly," EA explained on their website post.

"These Community Playtests are more limited than what we want to share in the pre-launch demos. All of these factors combined mean that were making access to our Playtests limited, which is where the “closed” part of the name comes from."
Sign-ups for the Anthem closed alpha is now live, so if you want you can register your interest by following the link here.
However, it's worth noting that with such high interest, you may not get a spot and registering does not guarantee access.
Equally, in order to play you'll need a PlayStation Plus or Xbox Live Gold membership for your PS4 or Xbox One.
As mentioned previously, you can only choose one platform, but when you register your interest, you'll need to pick your specific platform right there and then as well as the time windows you'd like to participate in.
