There’s a storm brewing in Anthem’s open demo

The event is going on now in the demo’s Freeplay mode, so to access it, just head to your Javelin in Fort Tarsis, launch an expedition, and pick Freeplay. Once you’re in, you should see a swirling red storm in the night sky. If you don’t, just end the expedition and start a new one – that triggered it for me, at least.

Once you’re in, you’ll see the eye of the storm in the sky, as well as molten meteorites tumbling down toward the planet’s surface. You’re also likely to stumble across some Ancient Ash Titans. These are giants with stone skin that can hurl pyroclastic bombs at you, so bring some friends along if you want to take one down.

This weekend’s open demo seems to have gone off quite a bit more smoothly than the VIP demo did last weekend – the last demo’s connection issues seem to have been solved, and apart from a crash or two, I didn’t run into any serious problems personally.

Today’s live event will likely last until the demo closes at 21:00 ET, so you’ve got several more hours to try out Anthem for free.
