"We're doing a free to play game, with essentially loot boxes, after we were bought by EA, and it's not Titanfall 3. It's the perfect recipe for a marketing plan to go awry, so why have that - let's just ship the game and let players pl
**Apex Legends ** , the latest game from Respawn Entertainment and the company's first foray into the battle royale genre, has saved EA stock prices by bringing in more than 10 million players during its first 72 hours of release. This latest impressive feat for the game, which is set in the same universe as the Titanfall series, comes not long after Apex Legends saw a million unique players in its first eight hours of rele
The news of Apex Legends ' new modes come courtesy of Twitter user @ApexUpdate . A fan account for the game, ApexUpdate posted a Tweet of the game's files. In the code there is wording that suggests a solo mode and a 2-Man Squad are already in the game's data. This suggests that they could be released to the public very, very s
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
PUBG allows players to play alone, with a partner and as a member of a four-player squad. Fortnite meanwhile has a constantly changing pool of player modes from the stalwarts of solo, duo and four-player squads to limited time modes like 50 v 50 team deathmatch-esque bouts or one where everyone tries to topple Thanos from Infinity War . Apex Legends has already been able to make a dent in Fortnite and PUBG 's popularity, if not their player base, by offering something different. Now that Apex Legends has players' attention, the natural step would be to challenge the battle royale giants on their own turf by adding solo and duo modes. It remains to be seen if Apex Legends ' popularity will stick or if it's just a flash in the pan, but if the game does want to succeed, adding solo and duo modes will probably be the first of many gameplay upda
The leak appears convincing, but even if it wasn't so plausible looking, it would make a lot of sense for Apex Legends to add new modes. More than any other battle royale game, Apex Legends does stress cooperative play within a squad. Each playable character in the game has a certain set of abilities that complement the powers of other playable heroes. Apex Legends even utilizes a ping system which allows communication between players through the press of a button that doesn't require voice chat. However, all other major battle royale games, particularly PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds and Fortnite: Battle Royale , employ multiple modes with different player opti
Another analyst provided a graph to measure exactly how impressive Apex Legends ' launch has been. It's especially useful to see in graph form because it helps contextualize the trajectory that Apex Legends is currently on, and it's one that looks like a rocket heading for or
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 guide|https://Apexarenaelite.com/ Legends** _ ultimately proves to be the final nail in the coffin for a series so belo
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
