First unveiled over the weekend by YouTuber TheQuartering , and then further confirmed by multiple media outlets and our own sources, Apex Legends is a free-to-play battle royale shooter described as a Titanfall spinoff of sorts, sans the actual Titans. Details on gameplay features are not yet official, but the full reveal comes tomorrow morning, Monday, February 4th at 8am PST on Twitch according to the newly launched Apex Legends Twitter accou
The downside is that you cannot see other players while you are “in” the void – but enemy players can definitely see the trail you’re leaving behind. You also can’t “exit” the void early to surprise enemies. Use this ability with caut
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. Speculation is that Respawn would need to develop or upgrade a game engine for Titanfall 3 to keep up with the triple-A shooters and that it could be a long ways
Wraith is a really interesting character to play, but her abilities can take some time to master. She is a close combat fighter, and well suited for scouting. Wraith can also drop in and out of battle easily, using her dimensional rift or void abil
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 Apexarenaelite.com Santa Monica Studios over God of Wars’ stellar reviews . Or when the Microsoft brand congratulated Nintendo for the launch of the Nintendo Swit
Update: The livestream full reveal has been changed to 12pm noon PST / 3pm EST, but throughout the day more leaks have revealed the Apex Legends game map, and additional details characters on characters. Original article followed by new ima
Apex Legends seemed doomed to fail when it was first announced. Respawn Entertainment was supposed to be hard at work on Titanfall 3 , the latest entry into the beloved mech series that had become synonymous with the developer. Instead, reports came out suggesting that what had one been the plans for Titanfall 3 had instead been shuttled and modified into Apex Legends , a battle royale title that appeared to be the publisher’s attempt at cashing in on the battle royale craze. Fans were noticeably upset, and many were salivating at the chance to lambast Respawn for the sudden switch in pl
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
We can’t tell for certain why the Tweet was deleted, whether it was a mistake from an intern or a call from the Epic Games PR team to tear down some goodwill across the industry. But the optics make it look like Fortnite feels like it is on the ropes, which is clearly the opposite of what they want to convey in this critical t
Like all Apex Legends characters, Wraith has three different abilities. Her passive ability is called Voices From The Void and serves as a warning system. She also has a tactical ability, Into The Void, which allows her to move without taking damage for a short period of time. Her final, ultimate ability, is called Dimensional Rift and allows her to create portals between two ar
On the other end, there is the likely chance that this was Epic Games doing some non-existant PR damage control. By all means, I’m sure they are increasingly conscious of the rise of Apex Legends — EA has been able to quote daily successes since the game’s unexpected launch. In the first eight hours, the battle royale title had scored over a million individual players . Within 48 hours, that number had jumped to 2.5 million players . Then, by the end of the work week, Apex Legends had managed to reach 10 million players, with a high score of 1 million concurren
Playing Apex Legends on Xbox One requires an Xbox Live Gold subscription, and the game can be downloaded simply by searching for “Apex Legends” in the Xbox Games Store or by visiting the Microsoft Store site HE
The kerfuffle began last night when a Twitter user reached out to Mark Rein , Vice President of Epic Games (and co-owner of the Carolina Hurricanes for NHL fans out there ). The aim of the Twitter user was simple: get a statement from a Fortnite spokesperson about the up-and-coming competitor, Apex Legends from developer Respawn Entertainm
On the plus side, once you hit the Q button (or console equivalent), you are immune to damage for the entire 3 seconds and get a 20% movement boost. This is incredibly useful for running away from other teams, getting out of a closing circle, and can be very powerful when combined with other abilit
