In an interview with Eurogamer , Respawn lead producer Drew McCoy was refreshingly open about how players ended up with Apex Legends instead of Titanfall 3 . Matter-of-factly, he acknowledges the perceived oversaturation of the battle royale genre and confirms that Titanfall 3 is not currently in development. Learning from the PR disaster Blizzard brought upon itself by announcing Diablo Immortal for mobile when fans were expecting Diablo 4 , McCoy says that the surprise release of Apex Legends was a carefully calculated bid to " let the game speak for itself ." And it seems to have paid off spectacularly, with the game's sudden launch stirring an overwhelmingly optimistic response from critics and gamers alike. Almost forlornly, McCoy admits that he and the rest of Respawn were very aware of the kind of game they were working on and the logically negative conclusions that players would draw if given too long to judge the game prior to release, say

Then again, perhaps these are hinting at future Apex Legends updates. Maybe animal companions will be added just like pets joined Fortnite , which would be a wonderful cosmetic item for gamers hoping to customize the rather wonderfully inclusive characters of **Apex Legends ** a little more. Only time will tell what Respawn Entertainment is doing with these hidden animals, but it likely won't be long until fans learn if there's a greater purpose behind their inclus

First unveiled over the weekend by YouTuber TheQuartering , and then further confirmed by multiple media outlets and our own sources, Apex Legends skins|https://Apexarenaelite.com/ Legends is a free-to-play battle royale shooter described as a Titanfall spinoff of sorts, sans the actual Titans. Details on gameplay features are not yet official, but the full reveal comes tomorrow morning, Monday, February 4th at 8am PST on Twitch according to the newly launched Apex Legends Twitter accou

Depending on how well Apex Legends performs long-term, a proper third entry in the Titanfall main series could very well become a reality once again, though it wouldn't be surprising if Respawn wanted to put a lot of their focus on the free-to-play battle royale title for the foreseeable future. Either way, it's certainly encouraging to see the company have a proper hit on their hands, especially with a game as polished and smartly designed as **Apex Legends

Considering the financial underperformance of the first two Titanfall games (though both were still well-received by critics and the game's small, but loyal group of fans), it has to be a relief for both Respawn and EA that Apex Legends is not only performing so well, but that it's single-handedly taken some financial pressure off of EA in the short term. In terms that are perhaps more relevant to gamers, however, this level of success can hopefully lead to the revitalization of the entire Titanfall IP. While Titanfall 3 is confirmed to not currently be in development thanks to Respawn's focus on Apex Legends , other Titanfall -set properties are expected to release later this y

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

So it's fresh, it's fun, and it's free. You should probably already be on your way to try it out, like right now. But hey, wait up. Before you're off to assemble the squad, let's give you a leg up on the competition. Here are twenty-five tips, tricks, and other things we wish we'd known before we dove into Apex Legen

The other creature hiding within Apex Legends is none other than a dog. The creature has been found in two locations so far. A gap within the mountains on the training map has one dog tucked away within it, while the other dog is located in King Canyon's market area within the actual Apex map. Both appear to be toys of the exact same dog, although the latter is surrounded by pictures of real-world dogs. The history of this Easter egg has yet to be explained, so it may or may not just act as a loving tribute to pets of some of Respawn's develop

You're probably going to get sick of me using the word "intuitive" in reference to Apex , and trust me, if I could find a better word to describe the movement controls and mechanics, I'd use it. But for now, you're going to have to put up with me saying that the movement controls and mechanics in Apex are intuit

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
