Apex Legends _ is the latest battle royale sensation, breaking 25 million registered players during its first week available. Developer Respawn Entertainment suddenly launched the game last Monday, February 4, and positive buzz has seen _Apex Legends become one of the most talked about titles in recent memory, with a its playerbase swelling at an incredible r
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. Despite its inability to meet financial expectations, we here at Screen Rant were simply enamored with the stellar campaign, breakneck multiplayer, and fascinating sci-fi universe that the previous Titanfall ** entry brought to the table, and it would be a massive let-down if a free-to-play battle royale spin-off like _Apex Legends** _ ultimately proves to be the final nail in the coffin for a series so belo
After you make the hike to the beacon, all that's left is to interact with it and wait for the dropship to ferry your battle buddy back into the fight, but mind that he'll have no gear and will need to loot up. This makes your squad a tempting target for nearby enemies, who will probably have noticed the beacon being u
As you can imagine, this is insanely convenient. Utilizing this system, a player without a microphone can communicate almost as directly and effectively as a player that does have one. The most important ping to be familiar with is highlighting enemy positions -make sure you're highlighting the "enemy" ping to differentiate it from generic, directional pings. Your squadmates will thank
Respawn Entertainment may have broken a few hearts when they decided not to give us a proper sequel to Titanfall 2 . But what they did give us is a dark horse candidate for the battle royale throne in 2019. It really does look like EA managed to publish a true winner navigate here, as strange as it feels to say t
Apex Legends _ shares a few similarities with _Fortnite , but in terms of player growth, it's already surpassing Epic Games' juggernaut battle royale title, at least in terms of how they launched. Apex Legends is, according to early analysis, on pace to outgrow Fortnite at a rate that would be extraordinarily quick, even for a genre that has been explosive in its popular
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
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
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. Few games catch on this fast with the gaming community, which is often quick to dismiss new entries into a genre as clones or knock-offs of existing titles. The last game that shook things up this much and this fast was probably Blizzard's Overwatch , a game that Apex Legends borrows a few design choices from. If Apex Legends continues to grow at the rate it is, however, it likely means brand new territory for the video game industry and a blueprint that other studios will be scrambling to mimic in the coming months and ye
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
I’d advise all new players to start by playing through the tutorial. It takes just a couple of minutes and quickly goes through the main aspects of the game. It will also allow you to get a feel for Lifeline’s capabilities, something which you cannot do with any other Leg
