BioWare released Update 1.6.0 for Anthem, introducing a new seasonal event called Icetide. As suggested by its name, Icetide transforms Anthem's regions into lands entirely covered in snow.

　　As befitting for this event (which is expected to last eight weeks), there will be unique challenges to partake in and unique rewards to win for the players.
