BioWare has shut down Anthem’s servers, ending the game permanently
BioWare’s live-service game Anthem has gone offline permanently, with players reporting the servers shutting down shortly after 10 a.m. Pacific on January 12, leaving the online-only action RPG completely unplayable. Fans marked the final hours on Twitch and social media as players were abruptly disconnected and returned to the startup screen. Anthem launched in 2019 to mixed reviews, sold over 5 million copies, but missed EA targets; BioWare ended active development in 2021 and EA later delisted the game and removed premium currency sales ahead of the shutdown. With no offline mode, the game’s world is effectively gone, though some fans are exploring custom-server revival efforts.

First Minister says UK Labour’s unpopularity is hurting Welsh Labour ahead of Senedd elections
First Minister Eluned Morgan said Welsh Labour’s weakening poll position ahead of May’s Senedd elections is being driven in part by the UK Labour government’s unpopularity, alongside voter fatigue after 26 years of Labour-led devolved government. A YouGov poll for Cardiff University’s Wales Governance Centre put Labour on 10% and in third place behind Plaid Cymru and Reform. Speaking during a visit to Catalonia and the Basque Country to sign cooperation agreements on areas including technology, renewables, and language, Morgan argued Welsh independence would be economically difficult and noted Plaid Cymru does not expect a referendum in the next four or five years.
