**Apex Legends ** is getting new solo and duo modes added according to a new datamine leak. The latest multiplayer shooter from Respawn Studios, the creator of Titanfall , Apex Legends was announced and released all within a couple of days. A new entry in the mega-popular battle royale genre of games, Apex Legends has become very successful, very quickly.

Apex Legends by any metric is a success. However, compared to its competition, Apex Legends has been missing a few notable features. There is only one mode of play in Apex Legends . In order to join a match, players are forced into three person squads – whether that squad be made of friends or complete strangers.

Overall, fans of Titanfall will have a lot to mull over as EA continues to claw its way out of a difficult start to 2019. Regardless of Respawn’s future plans for the Titanfall franchise, fans luckily have the live service-focused Apex Legends to tide them over until any bigger news surfaces.

Apex Legends (whose very name is likely a riff on minor Titanfall series antagonist Kuben Blisk’s mercenary outfit, the Apex Predators) is an incredibly polished and streamlined iteration on the battle royale formula. Originally leaked a day before its surprise February 3 release on PS4, Xbox One, and PC, Apex Legends excels in areas where other battle royales tend to falter thanks to developer Respawn’s innovative approaches to teamwork, traversal, and spawning. While there’s little room to complain about a new AAA competitor that has serious potential to shake things up for Fortnite and Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 , there’s little question of the fact that free-to-play Apex Legends – which wears its market-driven influences like Overwatch on its sleeve – is a far cry from Titanfall despite their passing similarit
Perhaps the optimists out there think that since he got a reply from Respawn, the message had been conveyed. Without a doubt Zampella is sharing the Tweet with members of his team, as it is always a great thing to be appreciated and validated in the indus
Out of eight unique characters, or legends, EA and Respawn have confirmed that Bloodhound and Gibraltar each break with heteronormative stereotypes through external lore and interviews. EA’s official character description for Gibraltar, a ” gentle giant with a wild side ” who fulfills his support role with a dome shield and defensive barrage, makes mention of a formative incident in which ” he and his boyfriend stole his father’s motorcycle, took it on a joyride, and got trapped by a deadly mudslide .” Meanwhile, the flavor text for Bloodhound, a mysterious, Viking-inspired hunter who tracks foes with deadly precision, is the only character description offered that exclusively refers to them using “they/them” prono
Call me a nerd, but one of the selling points for me was taking a plunge off of a skyscraper and hitting the ground like a feather. I mean, a significantly heavier, faster falling feather, but you get the i
And as I mentioned earlier, congratulating competitors is commonplace in the industry. 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 .
