At the very least, Apex Legends fans do have something in the very near future to look forward to, as the game’s season 4–titled “Assimilation” –goes live on February 4. Beyond that, fans can at least be assured that the mobile title they so enthusiastically wanted remains a definite reality; it’s coming, but there’ll be a bit of a w
EA announced its decision to bring its popular battle royale game Apex Legends to mobile devices last year, but fell more or less silent on the subject until its recent third-quarter earnings call. During the call, EA finally confirmed that the release of Apex Legends for mobile is moving forward as planned, as EA spent those months of radio silence locking in a publishing partner in Ch
A mobile version of Apex Legends first come onto the radar during the game’s season 2 content, but both EA and Respawn had little else to say at the time, and definitely no release date. While there’s still no release date, EA at least offered a few more details as to how the mobile Apex Legends’ development is currently far
However, it seems this open world and the mechanics that come along with it have caused several players to talk for other reasons. Many players have taken to social media to compare the game to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild , calling it various nicknames like “Anime of the Wild” or “Breath of the Waifu” for its anime-like style of art. And while some players seem to feel that this comparison to the beloved Nintendo Switch title might be a compliment, it might actually be doing Genshin Impact a disserv
If the beginning of 2018 has taught us anything, it’s that Dragon Ball Z can deliver a fantastic tournament fighter if it wants to. The high-octane fighting the franchise is known for lending itself well to the fighting genre and the next step for these otherworldly characters to test their power levels will be on the small screen in Dragon Ball Legends. Smartphones and tablets have become incredibly popular gaming platforms, though the nature of the touch controls seem like an unusual instrument for carrying out combos. After experiencing Dragon Ball FighterZ, it’s only natural to have some skepticism about the format transferring to the small screen, but given Bandai Namco’s recent track record, this title deserves to be examined with an open mind.
Genshin Impact ‘s world seems both foreign and familiar in the same breath. The world of Teyvat hasn’t been explored in other games like Hyrule has over the past 34 years , but seems like it’s existed for a millennia. This might have to do with Genshin Impact using real world nations as inspiration for the regions found within the game, such as Liyue being based on China or Snezhnaya with Russia. Each region has its own Archon with godlike power and overarching political structure, and is accompanied by a seemingly endless amount of l
With its huge variety of cultured and synthetic flora, Olympus is certainly the most colorful of Apex Legend ‘s three maps. The drab grass and volcanic soil of World’s Edge is left behind, and every building in Olympus just reinforces how luxurious the city was. Interiors are awash with brushed metal, flawless glass, anti-gravity chandeliers and stunning views of the surrounding cloudscapes. Overall, Olympus has a radically different look to Apex Legends ‘ World’s Edge , highlighting the disparity between the different societies that once occupied the derelict m
In its Q3 earnings call (the same call during which EA talked about the power of next-gen consoles ), EA revealed that the mobile game isn’t being developed in-house; instead, EA partnered up with a Chinese company to both develop Apex Legends mobile for a global release and distribute it in China. According to EA CFO Blake Jorgensen, “Rolling mobile out in China, you need to have a partner, and we’re—as we’ve said in the prepared remarks today—we’re working with a partner there, and we’re very excited about the opportunity. That partner is also helping us develop a mobile Apex for the globe—more to come on that in terms of timing.” EA’s Chinese partner wasn’t actually named in the call and considering it’s fairly early in the partnership, that’s likely the reason that EA doesn’t have a release date for the game yet–although there is a release wind
The new map is Olympus, an abandoned floating city high above the Outlands planet of Psamathe. Respawn Entertainment has been teasing the map for some time, mostly through appearances in trailers for previous seasons, loading screen text, and the Broken Ghost quest. Back in October, the distinctive red aircraft that can be found in Olympus were added to the backgrounds of the Kings Canyon, World’s Edge, and Firing Range m
However, EA has partnered up with Chinese developers on multiple other occasions to roll out mobile versions of its flagship titles, including FIFA Online 4 and Need for Speed Online . Both of those were made in a partnership with the Chinese conglomerate Tencent, which itself owns Riot Games, and Tencent is also responsible for the massively successful mobile title Arena Of Valor Strategy of Valor . The conglomerate is currently partnered up with Activision for Call of Duty Mobile , so clearly, Tencent is an old hat at this kind of thing. Whether or not EA’s Apex Legends partner is Tencent once again remains to be seen as EA divulges more information going forw
