Iran women’s football team sings anthem in Australia amid safety fears

Iran’s women’s football team sang their national anthem before their final Women’s Asian Cup match in Australia after previously remaining silent amid safety fears tied to the war; they were eliminated from the tournament with a 2-0 loss to the Philippines, and a Change.org petition urged Australia to offer refuge to the players amid concerns for their families, as officials and human-rights advocates highlighted the broader context of Iran’s crackdown on dissent.

Greenland Anthem Emerges as Rallying Cry Against Annexation

Two Greenlandic musicians turned a spontaneous melody into 'Greenland Belongs to Greenlanders,' a protest anthem crafted with Siiva Fleischer that has become the soundtrack for Nuuk demonstrations against President Trump’s push to annex Greenland. Released Jan. 11, the song taps Greenlandic history of anti-colonial music and is fueling unity and resistance as the movement for greater autonomy grows.

Fans Bring Anthem Back to Life via Private Servers (For Now)

A fan has reportedly gotten Anthem running on a private peer-to-peer server days after its official shutdown, with YouTuber And799 showing two players in a shared matchmaking space; online features like viewing profiles are limited and BioWare/EA have not revived the game. The setup is described as a research experiment, not a revival, highlighting fan efforts to preserve the title and potentially salvage playable content in the future.

Anthem could rise again as a BioWare single-player RPG on a $10M budget

Former Dragon Age producer Mark Darrah floated reviving Anthem as a single-player BioWare RPG with a conservative $10 million budget, proposing updated current-gen visuals at 60fps, locally hosted servers to cut online costs, and AI-controlled companions to drive a story-driven experience. The plan would shift away from the original four-player loot shooter, aiming for a BioWare-style narrative rather than a live-service reboot, but it remains speculative and unlikely to meet full AAA pricing or fan demand; EA has not announced any revival and Anthem Next has been canceled. The discussion also touches on game preservation and whether publishers should keep games playable beyond their servers’ lifespans.

Ex-BioWare Exec Outlines Solo Revival Path for Anthem

Mark Darrah’s postmortem argues Anthem could be revived as a single-player game if EA funded a roughly $10 million rework with local servers, porting to current-gen consoles, and AI companions; a break-even target of about 400,000 copies is possible, but he doubts EA would pursue it, leaving Anthem’s online-only fate largely sealed.

Could Anthem Return as a Solo BioWare Tale Powered by Local Servers

Former BioWare executive Mark Darrah reveals Anthem actually had local-server code near launch that could be salvaged to host home servers. His plan would re-release Anthem as a standalone, current-gen BioWare title focused on single-player storytelling with AI companions, moving away from online servers, and would require roughly $10 million to update and rewrite. While it would re-engineer Anthem into a BioWare game, Darrah cautions EA is unlikely to pursue it.
