**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 release of Apex Legends comes just at the end of an exceptionally dismal fiscal quarter for EA , who published both Titanfall entries and acquired Respawn back in late 2017 . According to the first page of the report , however, there is light at the end of the tunnel into which EA has dug itself. The statement points to the obvious cash cow of FIFA , the heavily marketed Anthem , and the newly released Apex Legends , but it also promises investors relief in 2019 in the form of another Titanfall -related project that has yet to be formally announced. For now, it's anyone's guess what " related Titanfall experiences " fans have to look forward to this year as it's left intentionally vague. Of course, Titanfall 3 is squarely out of the question, so the end product could take the form of anything from a mobile game to a remake, or, most compellingly, it could be the Oculus VR game that Respawn in rumored to have been working on for a while

This situation is very reminiscent of 2016 when EA awkwardly positioned Titanfall 2 to release beside Battlefield 1 , just one week apart, preventing it from standing out. Its hype fizzled out almost immediat

Overall, Lifeline is a very strong supporting character. While she can go in all guns blazing, her abilities are best used in a support position. Keeping your distance then jumping in to revive teammates and heal up the injured is the best use of this Leg

News of Apex Legends' surprising release was leaked before Respawn probably initially wanted, but it did little to hamper the game's immediate popularity. While there are plenty of battle royale games in the market today, from PlayerUnknown 's BattleGrounds to the highly popular Fortnite , Apex Legends has impressed many since its free-to-play release. Receiving critical and fan praise for its polish and unique features for a battle royale title, like role-based Legends characters and an intuitive ping system, Apex Legends story guide|https://apexarenaelite.com/ Legends has already made its mark on the ge

Some teams are gearing Lifeline to be able to call these pods down as often as possible. In-game items, such as ultimate accelerants, mean Lifeline can call more frequent drop pods, allowing teams to gear up f

EA doesn't have an answer yet to the runaway success of the battle royale genre, lead by PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds and Fortnite . And their chief competition in Activision's Call of Duty franchise found success with Black Ops 4's Blackout battle royale mode after developer Treyarch scrapped the game's planned single-player story campaign for the battle royale mode late in development. It totally wor

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

The news first comes from YouTube channel TheQuartering and was quickly confirmed by reports from esports insider Rod Breslau and Kotaku's Jason Schreier. We had also heard from our owns sources about influencers (Shroud and Dr. Disrespect are named) playing a new shooter at EA recently but didn't have concrete info on the quick release date. This certainly explains why the pair was streaming Titanfall 2 recentl

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
