The prices of the Anthem Shards, the currency that the game will use to purchase cosmetic items, have been revealed.
There are just a few days until Anthem, the new title from Electronic Arts and BioWare, hits the market. The game developers have decided to give information about this game. Specifically, there has been data about something quite controversial at the moment and it is micro-transactions. This game will follow the policies of Electronic Arts to generate additional income, but not with the 'loot boxes', which have been banished after the giant controversy generated after the game Star Wars Battlefront from EA.
BioWare gives data on Anthem micro-transactions
It appears that EA has banished loot boxes and would have agreed with BioWare on a specific micropayment plan for the purchase of cosmetic items. To purchase cosmetic items, players must first purchase the in-game currency, called Shards, with real money. Through this currency we can buy materials, armor and other items.
These acquisitions will be solely cosmetic, not providing any type of advantage to the players. According to the data given, the 500 Shards will have a value of $ 4.99, 1.050 Shards will cost $ 9.99, 2.200 Shards will cost $ 20 and 4.600 Shards will cost $ 40. Everything indicates that these prices in dollars will be converted 1: 1 to euros.
It is estimated that elements such as armor and other elements will range between 300-400 Shards, for basic elements, while for more complex elements they will go to 850 Shards or more.
