Bioware and EA have taken Anthem offline whilst the developers set to work releasing today's new update.

For those wondering when this was announced, it was actually pretty late Sunday night, and not on the games official channel, but rather EA Help, the twitter support account for Electronic Arts.

That being said, Anthem has retweeted a few of the warnings, regardless of how quiet they've still been on the game this last week.

When will Anthem be back online?

The official announcement from EA Help explained:

"#AnthemGame will be down for maintenance tomorrow, April 8, from 2 p.m. – 5 p.m. UTC (9 a.m. – 12 p.m. CT). We'll let you know if there are any changes,"

The Twitter support account then added:

"Once the maintenance is done, youll need to download a client update to get back in the game."

For those wondering that means the game will be offline from 3pm until 6pm in the UK, assuming the game doesn't run into any problems and have to extend downtime.
