Anthem Update Adds a New Stronghold, Reduces Need for Tedious Fort Tarsis Visits

Anthem has just dropped a new update, and it’s a fairly substantial one. The big addition is the Sunken Cell, an all-new stronghold to bolster the game’s thin endgame content. BioWare has also made a number of changes that will reduce players’ need to constantly revisit Fort Tarsis (and sit through the associated loading screens). Of course, a long list of balance changes and bug fixes have been made as well. You can get a brief peek at the new stronghold, below.

Here are your patch notes for Anthem update 1.10:

New Features

  • The Sunken Cell stronghold is now available to all players who have completed the main story (critical path).
  • Added the ability to select contracts from the start of expedition screen rather than going to the individual contract boards in Fort Tarsis or in the Launch Bay.
  • Added the ability to launch a new mission from the end of expedition screen without having to return to Fort Tarsis or the Launch Bay.
  • Added the ability to access the Forge during Missions, Strongholds and Freeplay. You can now change your gear without having to return to Fort Tarsis or the Launch Bay!
