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
Unlike with Xbox One, the PS4 version of Apex Legends doesn’t require a PS Plus subscription to play online, and the game can be downloaded by also searching for “Apex Legends” in the PlayStation Store or by visiting the store online HE

Respawn Entertainment’s new battle royale game, **Apex Legends ** , has been officially revealed and is now available to download on Xbox One, PS4, and PC. Perhaps the worst kept secret in the industry is Respawn’s Apex Legends , which was hinted at last year when EA revealed in an earnings call that they had their recently-acquired studio Respawn working on two games: Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and an unannounced title at the t
Up first then, is Gibraltar. This character is an armor looking powerhouse, looking kitted up for battle. We get a look at an example of one of his takedowns which consists of of…well, smashing the enemy’s head into the floor. Living by the SARAS Search and Rescue motto, this tough looking brute can shield players with a Dome of Protection. He also has a gun shield he can hide behind while remaining mobile, or he can call in a bombardment with his orbital str
The most impressive thing about the sudden rise of Apex Legends is that the game hasn’t even delivered on many of the promises Respawn Entertainment has made regarding its early post-launch content. The game is slated to receive holiday-themed loot, a tournament hosted on Twitch, and its first season of content in March. The latter of those additions will feature the debut of the game’s Battle Pass, new Legends, weapons, and l
Respawn Entertainment, developer of the critically acclaimed Titanfall ** series and its battle royale spinoff _Apex Legends** _ , has more or less confirmed that Titanfall 3 was canceled so that time and resources could be put toward the latter. Of course, Apex Legends is set in the Titanfall universe and looks, feels, and to a certain extent plays like Titanfall games (sans jump jets, wall-running, and, well, Titans), but this news is still a huge blow to those who’ve been patiently awaiting the third mainline entry into the critically acclaimed series. Hope should not be abandoned just yet, though, as details from EA’s most recent fiscal report point to another Titanfall -related project being in the wo
Respawn’s Apex Legends is currently free-to-play and aims to subvert the battle royale genre with its renewed focus on teamwork, equipment, and using the environment to win matches. While it’s great to have a new addition to the battle royale genre, releasing Apex Legends this close to Anthem ‘s debut as well as the release of Battlefield V ‘s Firestorm battle royale mode could cannibalize EA’s sales for the latter two games. It wouldn’t be the first time that the publisher released too many games too close together – but we’ll have to wait and see if **Apex Legends ** is ultimately worth playing for the long h
Lifeline is a medic on the battlefield, deploying health through D.O.C. Heal Drones to those in need. She has the fastest revival time out of all the characters and that comes with a shield to cover both her and her fallen squad member. She’s also able to call in a care package that gets dropped into the battlefield from ab
Establishing these character elements in the game’s canon right from the start is important for letting all kinds of players know they’re welcome to join in – and there definitely isn’t space for anyone toxic. Apex Legends developer Tina Sanchez also has something to say for the toxic people in her l
In an interview with Eurogamer , Respawn lead producer Drew McCoy was refreshingly open about how players ended up with Apex Legends instead of Titanfall 3 . Matter-of-factly, he acknowledges the perceived oversaturation of the battle royale genre and confirms that Titanfall 3 is not currently in development. Learning from the PR disaster Blizzard brought upon itself by announcing Diablo Immortal for mobile when fans were expecting Diablo 4 , McCoy says that the surprise release of Apex Legends News|Https://Apexarenaelite.Com/ Legends was a carefully calculated bid to ” let the game speak for itself .” And it seems to have paid off spectacularly, with the game’s sudden launch stirring an overwhelmingly optimistic response from critics and gamers alike. Almost forlornly, McCoy admits that he and the rest of Respawn were very aware of the kind of game they were working on and the logically negative conclusions that players would draw if given too long to judge the game prior to release, say
