Bangalore’s first active ability is a Smoke Canister that explodes into a smoke wall upon contact. This is a pretty easily understandable ability and can be a huge boon in the right hands. Bangalore’s Ultimate ability is pretty similar to Gibraltar’s; she calls in an Artillery Strike on a specific area that rolls through the landscape over t
Heck, even doing a quick audit of both titles’ standings on Twitch, Apex Legends leads in viewership with 433K viewers. Fortnite is sitting in third, with just over 143K viewers.

Lest we not forget how Phil Spencer (Executive Vice President of Gaming at Microsoft) reached out to Sony and Santa Monica Studios over God of Wars’ stellar reviews . Or when the Microsoft brand congratulated Nintendo for the launch of the Nintendo Swit
While the battle royale genre remains one of the most lucrative in gaming and is definitely a factor in Apex Legends ‘ success , it would be unwise to discount the game’s popularity too much because of that fact.

Finally, a developer diary was released recapping everything that players have to anticipate with the sudden release of Apex Legends. Everything from character design for some of the Legends to the early tests for a Titanfall battle royale game are covered within the vi
As it turns out, however, Apex Legends is really good . EA announced Apex Legends reached 25 million players within its first seven days of availability, which should indicate just how quickly it is catching on with battle royale fans. On top of that, the game has already achieved a concurrent player total of over 2 million, another remarkable feat for a title that is only finding its footing within a crowded, competitive genre. For context, that means Apex Legends is currently growing at a rate faster than Fortnite

Wraith can be a huge benefit to your team when she’s used wisely, with her ability to open up movement options and warn teammates of danger before it comes. But, a poor Wraith can also be a heavy liabil
To promote the game, publisher Electronic Arts is going the influencer route, having invited and paid streamers and YouTubers to a secret LA event last week to play the game. Tonight, those attendees all posted sponsored tweets in unison, sharing excitement that they can discuss the game tomorrow after Respawn’s presentation. All of these tweets, paid for by EA, were hashtagged as an #Ad so take that for what you will. This is marketing, not personal opini
Respawn Entertainment, according to Kotaku , was initially working on Titanfall 3 after Titanfall 2 with their dated version of the Source engine after Titanfall 2 but may have converted that to Apex Legends while their other team works on the upcoming Star Wars game Jedi Fallen Order which also debuts in 2019.
