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.

NCSoft has officially licensed the fan-run private server "Homecoming" to host the MMORPG City of Heroes, which was originally shut down in 2012. The Homecoming team will continue to develop new content and maintain the game, which will remain free and funded by donations. While the development will be closed-source, the agreement allows the game to be revived with the original developer's blessing, although NCSoft retains the right to shut down the server at any time.
