Nessie is said to be found hidden within Apex Legends ' training map. Players are able to jump into this mode from the main menu, and are actually encouraged to do so upon first booting up the game. Speaking to Kotaku , Respawn's PR manager Brad Hilderbrand addressed why the creature made its triumphant return to the limelight: " The plush dino critter is Nessie, a long-running Respawn Easter egg. All the maps in Titanfall and Titanfall 2 had a hidden Nessie somewhere in them, so the team kept her legend alive in Ape
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'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
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
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 guide|https://apexarenaelite.com/ Legends" in the PlayStation Store or by visiting the store online HE
The release of Apex Legends comes just at the end of an exceptionally dismal fiscal quarter for EA , who published both Titanfall entries and acquired Respawn back in late 2017 . According to the first page of the report , however, there is light at the end of the tunnel into which EA has dug itself. The statement points to the obvious cash cow of FIFA , the heavily marketed Anthem , and the newly released Apex Legends , but it also promises investors relief in 2019 in the form of another Titanfall -related project that has yet to be formally announced. For now, it's anyone's guess what " related Titanfall experiences " fans have to look forward to this year as it's left intentionally vague. Of course, Titanfall 3 is squarely out of the question, so the end product could take the form of anything from a mobile game to a remake, or, most compellingly, it could be the Oculus VR game that Respawn in rumored to have been working on for a while
With Apex Legends becoming a major focus for Respawn Entertainment, their future should prove to be interesting. As a result of this project, it's unlikely that Titanfall 3 will be arriving anytime soon, too. So gamers eager to get their fill of Titanfall lore will have to master the various Legends of the free-to-play Apex Legends as they await a third entry in the critically-acclaimed franch
As we pointed out in light of the Apex Legends reveal is that the timing is strange since EA is just two weeks away from releasing their other futuristic online-only action game Anthem , and just a few months away from the Battlefield V battle royale mode, Firestorm. There's a risk of cannibalization here, but perhaps Firestorm is further off than we thou
Gameplay details are not yet official, but the early reports described Apex Legends as a 60-player battle royale experience where players fight as 3-person teams. There are multiple classes and the game will be playable on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox
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
Still, it seems unlikely that this is just what developers should expect when they release a title into the most popular genre in gaming today. There's more at play here than just cashing in on a big market, and Apex Legends is clearly going to be a major player in 2019. What remains to be seen is just how fast it will grow, and how it will deal with the challenges that come with being under greater scrutiny and the weight of expectation as Respawn Entertainment delivers the game's first content releases in the coming mon
Respawn's **Apex Legends ** has hidden animal Easter eggs throughout its map. Right out of the gate it was clear that Apex Legends would be a runaway success. The game managed to hit 10 million players within its launch week, and gamers have been enjoying the latest battle royale entry ever since. Since Respawn first cut its teeth with Titanfall (which takes place in the same universe as Apex Legends ), it was inevitable that a handful of references to that series made it into this ti
