Blake Jorgensen stated that Anthem will be shipped "in the last quarter of the year and in the last month of that quarter," and since EA's fiscal year runs from April - March it means we should be expecting a launch date of March 2019. Barring any further delays, of course.

Jorgensen also mentioned they are being "conservative" regarding their expectations for the title and they will probably have limited restocking of Anthem, even if it's extremely successful.

There wasn't much else said about the game itself, although EA's Andrew Wilson claimed that Anthem is a "fundamentally social experience" and will "open new ways for fans to join the community and play early, enabling us to shape and refine the game with their input and feedback." It's not clear whether Wilson was referring to an EA Access/Origins trial, a beta, or something altogether different, but we can hope for some more info at EA Play next month.
