EA and BioWare have announced a closed alpha for the upcoming sci-fi shooter, ANTHEM. It'll be available on PS4 from 8th to 9th December, just a couple of days after The Game Awards 2018, where a brand new trailer is to be shown.
Those interested in taking part in this early version of the game are encouraged to sign up before 3rd December through EA's Community Playtesting scheme. Using your EA Account, you can put your name forward for the closed alpha, but there's no guarantee you'll be selected, according to this FAQ. We're not sure exactly what will be included in the alpha, but EA says it's "an opportunity for you to check out Anthem but we’ll also be adjusting things like matchmaking and server load on the fly."
The publisher says that there will be several play sessions over the two days, so access won't be available all the time -- you'll have to wait for an allotted play time. It's also strictly confidential -- you'll have to agree to a non-disclosure agreement if you want in. It'll be interesting to see whether anything slips out regarding the alpha -- it's bound to happen, right?

closed alpha AKA that thing what loads of people will share on youtube 2 seconds after it opens
@misterMike they are looking into it, but not at launch. Do there is still a chance someday
Already signed up yesterday...
Signed up. Fingers crossed!
Just signed up, quickly scrolled as usual through the T&C's.
Cant wait to also see gameplay clips on that popular adult mucky video website lol. Who needs YouTube.
i gave up.. that sign-up site is the worst coded piece of garbage i've had the misfortune to use in an absolute age. after 20 minutes, i hadn't got passed the selecting of timeslots.
Signed up! I want this game to rock my world so badly.
how do i sign up, i want to test it.
I thought that they had delayed this until PS5?
Wish I could stream it tbh
@misterMike my advice would be don't let being late to the party put you off if you're playing in co op. While I completely agree with you that if it's a PvP game then you're fighting an uphill battle catching up with day one players, but my fiancé and I have come in late to playing both Elder Scrolls Online and Warframe together and we've been much better off for it as both games have undergone massive improvements since launch and have been a ton of fun ESO cost us peanuts too.
Looks like it's for EU and US only.
I think I signed up I'm not sure I selected PS4 and a time on a Saturday but no idea if it's confirmed or not stupid thing. I understand that the site will be hit with a lot of people but Jesus that site sucks for stability
How is it still in alpha 3 months from release?
