Anthem Update 1.04 Early Patch Notes TODAY – Update 1:

“Weve started our #AnthemGame scheduled maintenance, Freelancers,” reads a BioWare tweet. "We estimate to have the game back up at 3:30 p.m. UTC (10:30 a.m. CT), but well let you know if anything changes. Once completed, youll need to download a game update before jumping back in.”

Original Story – BioWare is just about ready to release the next big patch for its shared world shooter game, Anthem.
Anthem update 1.0.4 will go live later today – on March 26 – after a short period of scheduled downtime.
BioWare plans to take the game offline for server maintenance at 1.30pm GMT in the UK, and notes it may last until 3.30pm.
(If you're out in the US, that means you'll see the game go down at 6.30am PDT / 9.30am EDT)
BioWare expects the game to be offline for about two hours – though if previous maintenance is anything to go by, you can likely expect the game to be offline for a little bit longer than that.
Bioware staffer Andrew Johnson notes:
"Game Update 1.0.4 for #AnthemGame will release Tuesday, March 26th on all platforms. We'll have Update Notes tomorrow as well to go along with the download going live.
"FYI: We also have scheduled server maintenance tomorrow from 6:30am – 8:30am PDT/9:30am – 11:30am EDT as well."
