Battle Royale games have encountered a plethora of cheaters over the span of their existence. Especially on PC. The amount of cheating going on during the glory days of PUBG was rampant. Today, the latest popular title, Apex Legends, is next on the list. Last week I wrote about a popular Reddit post making the
There is inevitably some major crossover between the gaming and Marvel fandoms — that is one of the reasons that Marvel’s Spider-Man sold so well. And this often means some cool fan creations. This week, some video-editing mastermind spliced together Apex Legends cinematics with the newly-revealed Avengers: Endgame trailer, and it is the crossover we deserve. Created by YouTuber Simon Cez,

Sponsorships are nothing new for full time YouTube and Twitch streamers/video creators, but Ninja has brought it to a whole new level. According to a report from Reuters, Tyler “Ninja” Blevins was paid $1 million by EA to tweet and stream Apex Legends during its launch on the morning of February 4, 2019. Ninja’s first
Getting downed is the worst part of any battle royale experience. Assuming you’re playing with a team, you’re forced to just try and hide and wait for a teammate to pick you back up and get you back into the action. This is no different in Apex Legends, Respawn Entertainment and EA’s latest foray into the
Game development is a tricky beast — regardless if we are talking about small indie titles or breakthrough AAA successes like Apex Legends by developer Respawn Entertainment and EA. There are a ton of tricks and smoke-and-mirror workarounds to deliver a smooth end-user experience to the player, which creates a cohesive end-product. But occasionally it is fun to
We have seen the last few years the rapid growth of cheating in battle royal games. PUBG during its peak was filled to the brim with cheaters using aimbots that ruined the fun for many players. Now, many Reddit users are expressing their feelings over the cheaters in Apex Legends. The Reddit user u/My_watch_is_ended posted yesterday
Despite the issues that PS4 players have been having with Anthem recently, it seems it still hasn’t prevented the game from selling well digitally on the platform. PlayStation revealed the top-selling digital games for the month of February today and BioWare’s Anthem came out ahead of the rest of the pack. Bandai Namco’s Jump Force, despite seeing some
A new live balance update for Apex Legends has brought some changes to technical performance as well as weapon and character balance with the full patch notes published via Reddit.

Say what you want, but I love EA’s press conferences that kick off the E3 festivities every year. Is it typically boring? Yes. Is it awkward? Almost always. And is there ever any real substantial news to be revealed about upcoming games? Not really. Objectively, most of the conferences that EA has held over the
Electronic Arts will be returning to Los Angeles this June once again with EA Play, the publisher’s annual event held in proximity to E3 each year. This year, however, EA seems to be shaking things up quite a bit compared to in the past. It was announced today that EA Play will run from June

It’s no surprise that when Respawn Entertainment’s new Battle Royale launched earlier this month, there were a lot of players deciding on playing Apex Legends or Epic Games’ hugely popular Fornite.

Apex Legends has been upping the ante recently in hopes of securing themselves against fierce competition from its competitor Fortnite. Lately, we have seen the new battle royale bring in its first weapon called the Havoc Energy Rifle, which can be used as either an assault weapon or a sniper.

Since its debut earlier this month, the free-to-play battle royale shooter Apex Legends, itself a spin-off from Respawn Entertainment’s Titanfall series, managed to find success incredibly quickly and already having surpassed over 25 million players.

Respawn Entertainment has today made perhaps the biggest change to Apex Legends in the game’s short life by adding the first new weapon to its world.

Anthem launched yesterday for those who are part of the Origins Access subscription, and the day before, on February 14, Neill Blomkamp launched his Anthem short film titled, “Conviction: An Anthem Story”.

I’ve accumulated more than 1000 hours in battle royale (BR) games since they’ve become popular. Between PUBG, Fortnite, Blackout, Ring of Elysium, and now Apex Legends, I’ve gotten a lot of chicken dinners, a bunch of victories, I’ve escaped in a helicopter, and I have a few victory royales. It seems like Respawn Entertainment knows
