BioWare and Electronic Arts had to issue a mea culpa for connection problems that players had, but the company said it had figured out some of the problems, which is good considering Anthem — the first new major intellectual property from EA in a decade — launches on February 22 on the PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. Anthem’s open demo begins today.
