Anthem officially has a release date, which means it's time for EA and retailers to start pushing for pre-orders. Even though the game doesn't arrive until February 2019, some die hard fans are already prepared to put down their hard earned cash. Now that pre-orders are live, the community can also get a sneak peek at the bonuses available for those who commit to an Anthem purchase early.

Customers who pre-order the Legion of Dawn Edition of the game will be rewarded with VIP access to pre-launch demos. The Legion of Dawn Edition also includes four Legendary Armor Packs, a Legendary weapon, a Founders player banner, and the Anthem digital soundtrack...

Not to worry, there are also rewards for pre-orders of the standard edition of the game...

"Pre-order the Anthem Standard Edition† and receive the Legion of Dawn Legendary Armor Pack and Legendary weapon for your Ranger exosuit. Pre-ordering also provides VIP access to all pre-launch playable demos and the Founders Player Banner."

That is definitely a lot of loot for both in and out of the game, so it will be interesting to see how many consumers decide to pre-order the title and secure the rewards. The most exciting items for many are likely the in-game armor packs and weapon. Early access to pre-launch demos isn't a bad incentive either.

Interested parties can learn more about the pre-order options at EA. Check back throughout the rest of E3 2018 week for more information on Anthem and lots of other exciting projects.

Anthem is currently scheduled for launch at some point in early 2019 for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
