Bioware's latest title, Anthem, is just around the corner, and to help promote the game, a tie-in live action short film is being made. Coming to us from director Neill Blomkamp (of District 9 and Elysium fame), "Conviction" will offer a "photorealistic" look at the world of Anthem. You can check out a teaser trailer and brief synopsis down below.

In Conviction, Blomkamp brings the vast world of Anthem to life with his own story set decades before the beginning of the game. This live-action short invites viewers to experience Blomkamp's unique style of creating photorealistic visual effects and bringing them seamlessly into the real world, this time with EA's highly-anticipated new game.

A teaser for Blomkamp's Conviction is now live, with the full short going live February 14 on the Oats Studios YouTube channel. In the short, people will see the player city of Fort Tarsis in the game come to life, and the freelancers that live within it. These freelancers who use Javelin exosuits, have been re-created by Neill's team to show them in live action as they fight off the main villain and head of the evil Dominion faction, the Monitor.

Anthem is due out for PS4, XB1, and PC on February 22nd. In case you missed it, be sure to read Caitlin Argyros' hands-on preview. Stay tuned to RPGFan for more coverage of Anthem!
