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
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
As of today, Respawn Entertainment’s battle royale shooter Apex Legends has been out for one full month. As a result, Respawn’s Vince Zampella has now given the latest player totals for the game over that span of time and they continue to be staggering.

Responding on Twitter to a fan inquiring as to what Chris Avellone has been up to recently in regards to work, the man himself replied that he has “just finished up work with Jedi: The Fallen Order…” This is the first time we’re hearing that Chris Avellone was working on the project, and lends some
Respawn Entertainment and Electronic Arts are gearing up to launch Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order later in 2019, which is great. The only problem is, we still haven’t seen literally anything about the project. Luckily, that’s all going to be changing soon and we now know when. As announced this afternoon, the first reveal of Star Wars
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. Whatever game you decide to play is fair enough, however, the popularity of Apex Legends hasn’t gone unnoticed it seems. Fortnite developer Epic Games often runs a Reddit Q&A, the most recent
Tomorrow will be the day that fans of Apex Legends will be able to go about their daily routines and chores with the music from the game blaring into their ears. The five-track album will be available digitally and has been composed by none other than Stephen Barton. Known for his work composing for video games such as Call of
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.

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.

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”. However, talk of Apex Legends surfaced on Twitter with the film director sharing thoughts on a potential character being introduced to the Battle Royale game. Originally, Neill Blomkamp
Collectible merchandise based on games coming out isn’t uncommon, especially when they are based on a licensed property; that being said, it is odd when you haven’t even seen much of the game. Today, Disney confirmed that toys based on EA and Respawn Entertainment’s Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order are coming on October 4, which
Apex Legends hasn’t even been out for two weeks but it’s already taken the world by storm. Since it is so early in the game’s life though, many are still learning more about how to best take advantage of the tools at your disposal in Apex Legends. As such, one player over on Reddit recently found
It’s a shorter edition of Drop In/Drop Out this week (for once) but there’s still a lot to talk about!

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
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 has been on absolute fire since its surprise announcement and launch on February 4.

EA reported their Q3 financial results today and with it came a ton of news on both upcoming and previously released titles. While Apex Legends, a team-based battle royale game set in the Titanfall universe, was only briefly brought up in the official report as CEO Andrew Wilson said he was “very excited about Apex
Respawn Entertainment just announced and launched Apex Legends yesterday, which is a new class-based battle royale game. Since Apex Legends is set in the Titanfall universe–and Respawn itself confirmed that this is the current project that the Titanfall team is working on–many assumed that it meant Titanfall proper would fall by the wayside.
