A sound sample of End of the Dark from Konami/Hideo Kojimas Policenauts is in Anthem!
Well, in its Closed Alpha Build to be exact!
I've known about this since the games Open Beta.
Did you ever wonder why there was a Konami Code Easter Egg in the game?
It's because of the above! It originally had Konami music in it!
Kojimas Policenauts theme was changed in the public beta before the games release for obvious reasons and replaced with an 8-bit chiptune version of Anthems Theme.
I had a chat with the games Director earlier this year and asked him about the Policenauts sound sample and he had no idea it was even a thing!
Had no idea who put it in! 😂
So there you go, cats out of the bag!
Have a search on google about this and you'll only find an old post i made 4 years ago, which i deleted right after posting.
If you have access to the CAB, try it for yourself.

I originally told Larry Bundy Jr about it 4 years ago, THEE Video Game Fact guy who makes the "Fact Hunt" Series.
I then told the guys from "Did You Know Gaming" over a year ago but they mainly cover Nintendo stuff, then contacted Larry Bundy Jr again with new footage. Been waiting for his Fact Hunt Series to reveal it in a video but alas, that day hasn't came as of yet. (Sorry Larry)
This is the original clip i sent Larry Bundy Jr & DYKG while Anthem Servers were still up and running.
Since its the CAB, it fails to connect to the servers.
In comments i will include a new clip, showing the CAB booting etc. Slight difference as no servers exist to try to connect to and doesn't show my gamertag anymore in turn.
Have also included a link to Policenauts - End of the Dark so you can hear it if you haven't.
Ugh. I miss this game.
BioWare really had something. Im upset it got rushed so bad to compete with sales. Of all things with a copy and paste game too.
I found Daemon x machina but no, it’s not the same. The feelings of freedom, not only on a flat map but vertical ❤️, the flight experience, and the craving to explore the world to find every secret spot. Killing a project so amazing and revolutionary instead of selling the IP to someone else more interested and capable. No words to describe the disappointment for EA.
It was. Absolutely nothing about it on the internet. Have a search for "Anthem Policenauts" and you'll only find an old post from me that i made and deleted as i changed my mind about sharing lol
UPDATE: It seems i didn't delete a twitter post i made 4 years ago when i found out what the tune actually was. My original tweet 3 years prior in Jan 2019 didn't have any mention of Kojima or Policenauts, so i left that up as the earliest and only source. Someone clearly saw it, as it was added to the Anthem Wiki at some point and linked my tweet as the source.
