Anthem has certainly had one of the rockiest launches in recent memory, with everything from its poor reception to the developers themselves struggling with creating the game due to some behind-the-scenes scenarios. That said, this hasn’t stopped BioWare from trying to make things right, but they haven’t exactly been vocal as of late. Players who have stuck around as well as those who have been watching from afar have all been waiting on the Cataclysm event to begin, but the devs haven’t said much. However, that has now changed as a massive update has arrived for Anthem and it includes the long-awaited Cataclysm.

Update 1.3.0 has finally arrive for Anthem players. It not only includes the Cataclysm event that many have been waiting for, but also a plethora of other goodies, including a host of bug fixes, weapon changes, item tweaks, and so much more. “A Cataclysm is a themed, season-long event that offers unique rewards and challenges for its duration, and leaves Bastion changed when it ends,” reads the game’s website.
