If you weren't able to make it out to E3 2018, but can't wait to see more of BioWare's upcoming title Anthem, Electronic Arts have just released a video that'll make your day. The full 20-minute gameplay demo from the trade show is now available to watch online via YouTube, complete with commentary from lead producer Ben Irving. 

The video shows off what you can expect to see from the game's cooperative missions, namely how you can interact with other players while navigating the wide world with jetpacks. 

This is indeed the full demo that was shown off to E3 attendees beyond closed doors, so if you weren't able to stick around to check it out during the show, now you can give it a look at your own pace.

The developers utilize flight in abundance during the demo, even going so far as to swooping down and around waterfalls to cool down Javelin thrusters and trying out some testy flight patterns at that.

The Freelancers in the demo also take on a Stronghold, with a boss teaser in the form of a behemoth called the Swarm Tyrant. Yes, the Swarm Tyrant is an enormous spider, so if your arachnophobia is acting up, you may not want to watch the entire video so you can make an honest attempt at having pleasant dreams tonight.
