It’s no secret that Anthem will have an in-game store that will have purchasable items using real world currency. In case you didn’t know, the currency used by for Anthem microtransactions are called “Shards,” and we now know how these Shards Packs cost in real world money!
Thanks to Anthem now available for Origin and Xbox One via Origin Pass and EA Access, we now know the exact prices of Anthem microtransactions! Check the images below and yes, the amount is in USD (via Reddit’s hungrybanana):
It seems players will have quite a number of options when it comes to Shards Packs. For those worried, BioWare has already mentioned that microtransactions in the game won’t have anything that might break balance, and that anything that can be bought with real world money, can be earned via grinding.
Let’s hope that BioWare can push through with their promises post-launch, and if so, they have a few good cosmetic items that might push people to buy them as a way of supporting the title’s good business model.
Stay tuned to MP1st’s review of Anthem hitting the site soon!
Anyone who supports Anthem is a clown. Keep your shards, screw you EA. Bioware Edmonton abandoned Mass Effect for a buggy Destiny clone with microtransactions. Shame
You should get your facts straight kiddo.
It’s actually an extremely fun game so far and much better than Destiny 1 or 2 were. EA also has the best deal in town where for $100 a year you get access to all of their games on PC including all DLC. Hard to call that a rip off. Also the game had bugs during a beta you stupid reject. I’m playing the full release now and its awesome. Not one DC or freeze.
