Since launching their first Battle Pass, the team at Respawn Entertainment has been trying almost everything they can think of to improve the progression system in Apex Legends. They’ve done a lot of work with the various Battle Passes they’ve put out, but the main progression hasn’t gotten the same love. That changes on December

I have a firm belief that lightsaber battles should not be fast and flashy. Jedi Knights are not all-powerful invincible superheroes, and fights are more fun to watch and experience when every move has a purpose, weight, and strategic value. I can only imagine that wielding such a weapon would be hard. And boy, is
Despite outcries from some in the community to boycott the latest Pokemon entries, it seems as though Sword and Shield have gotten off to one of the strongest starts from a sales perspective in the history of the franchise. In its first week of availability, Pokemon Sword and Shield lapped the competition on the UK sales chart. Pokemon Sword
One of the big benefits of being an EA Access member is the timed early access period (a.k.a. Play First Trial) for the publisher’s new games. With Respawn’s single-player Star Wars game arguably being EA’s biggest game of the year, surely, it would be part of this service. Unfortunately, the Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order debuted its gameplay first look at EA Play during E3, and with it we got around 15 minutes of the game in action. Throughout that time, we saw a variety of things that will please fans of the iconic franchise: Saw Gerrera from Star Wars Rogue One returns, we will
The first details of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order were revealed today in a livestream from this weekend’s Star Wars Celebration. Publisher EA and developer Respawn Entertainment showed off the first story trailer and announced the game’s November 15, 2019 release date. Following the reveal, multiple sources gave us a look at quite a few new
We’ve known about EA and Respawn Entertainment’s Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order game for years, and today we finally got the first trailer and some more details about the game. This reveal confirms that it will be a single player game with no microtransactions and that Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order will come out for
Respawn Entertainment Co-Founder Vince Zampella says that there will be no microtransactions or multiplayer in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. It will be a Single-Player story experience. In an interview with IGN at the Star Wars Celebration in Chicago, Zampella directly stated “it’s a single-player story game. No multiplayer, no microtransactions, it’s a story game.” It
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
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
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. Respawn Community Manager Jayfresh posted a lenghty Reddit post talking about both Respawn’s approach to making changes to the Apex Legends meta, the way weapons
I’m just going to say it–European cosplayers really know what they’re doing. Whether we are talking the impeccable Persona 5 Makoto cosplay or the spot-on Futaba cosplay, they have been raising the game in recent months. But with Apex Legends picking up a huge chunk of the Battle Royale market share, it’s no wonder that new characters are
Apex Legends has come out of nowhere, almost literally, and has become a phenomenon. Not only has the game been able to capture the magic that the battle royale genre provides, but I also believe it is the best battle royale game to be released as of yet. The mixture of hero-based gameplay as well
The original Titanfall has been out for quite some time now, yet, there is still a small player base who are still playing in online multiplayer matches. In fact, there are only about 45 players left playing on PC according to this tracking site at the time of writing this. However, there seems to be one
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. If you just got started with the game and are looking for a bit of extra loot to jump start your abilities in Apex
After a surprise launch at the beginning of the month, the newly-released battle royale title Apex Legends from Titanfall developer Respawn Entertainment has had a remarkable level of success in its first few weeks, with the game having already surpassed 10 million players since launch. As recent datamines from modders seem to have pointed out, it appears that
Ever have over a million dollars in microtransactions dropped in your lap? Yeah, me neither. However… that’s not to say it doesn’t happen. An Apex Legends player is reporting he was gifted over 125 million Apex Coins. In case you are counting, that would be roughly $1.1 in EA and Respawn in-game currency. News comes from Reddit
It’s always heartening when companies put down their corporate schtick to play nice with each other. Whether it is major game studios celebrating with competitors during flagship launches or the typical PR banter, it’s always a nice feel-good story for the press. Yet, in an odd turn, Epic Vice President (i.e. Fortnite) deleted his congratulations to
Apex Legends came out of nowhere. Literally. A little over a week ago, there were rumors flying around that EA flew out a bunch of streamers to play a new free to play battle royale title that they would stealth announce and release the following Monday. Well, all of those rumors turned out to be true
Out of nowhere, rumors have started circulating that Respawn Entertainment would soon stealth announce and release a new game next week. The title will be a free to play Titanfall Hero Battle Royale Game titled Apex Legends and it will be releasing on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. There were previously just incredibly vague comments being
At E3 2018, I just want to hear something, anything about Titanfall 3. I want someone from Respawn Entertainment, the developers of Titanfall, to let me know that “it’s going to be alright.” Now, I don’t actually expect this to happen, but I can dream. Let’s start with some raw honesty: I don’t just like Titanfall
