With Apex Legends recently arriving on Steam , EA seems to be doing all they can to get the Respawn battle royale played by as many gamers as possible. With Apex Legends constantly being updated with balancing changes and new content like with other free-to-play titles, it is likely that the game will retain much of its player count and popularity for some time to come. The eventual mobile release will only see the Apex Legends ecosystem extend further, and it is a smart move to help give the game new l
Recently, Respawn Entertainment made changes to Apex Legends ‘ new Battle Pass in response to the player backlash. Afterwards, the developer was asked on the game’s subreddit why the developer made the initial changes to the Season 7 pass to begin with. The game director, Chad Grenier, provided a lengthy reply on the subject to dispel any unease over the mat
When the latest expansion for Apex Legends arrived, the Season 7 Battle Pass received a lot of backlash over the new experience points requirements. The Battle Pass for Apex Legends Season 7 was intended to make the game experience more seamless, but players discovered gaining XP was much more time consuming than bef
Grenier would go on to state that Respawn’s goal was to keep players engaged throughout the new season and not wrong them. When Respawn received the immediate feedback, the developer went straight to work on rectifying the past alterations to the Battle Pass. The changes are supposed to be 50% easier to complete, and there will be more changes to come with the recent feedback kept well in m
In the post, Grenier responded to user Ender112 who asked why Respawn made the changes to Apex Legends’ latest Battle Pass and if it was a disingenuous move by the developer. He stated that the team made the changes with the players’ interests in mind and are not trying to play “negotiation games” with them. He emphasized that the developers weren’t trying to incentivize players into buying more battle pass levels for the game, and were only trying to make the best game possi
The push that Nintendo is making with mobile titles and their flourishing partnership with mobile port providers, DeNA, are promising signs that fans will see a Legend of Zelda mobile title at some point in the future. How far into the future still remains uncertain, but with the focus being put on craze-worthy franchises such as Pokémon and Super Mario, The Zelda franchise fits rights in. Who knows, fingers crossed for a Zelda title in 2020’s mobile line
Wilson then went on to reveal that the game will arrive in “FY22,” which is a lengthy period from October 2021 to September 2022. While Apex Legends is clearly a ways off for mobile players, confirmation that it is still coming and on track to complete development soon is reassuring. There will supposedly be a few new features in the mobile version of Apex Legends , though it is unclear what features, if any, will be missing from the main g
Yet, in their bid to be in the hands of as many players as possible, EA may stretch their new property too far. It doesn’t take a genius to recognize that the mobile versions of both of the previously mentioned battle royale giants are relatively sub-par when compared to their console counterparts, and rushing such an ambitious port to market may be detrimental to the title’s overall qual
This doesn’t mean that Nintendo has no interest in pursuing the path of mobile games. On the contrary, they have stated their aim to release two or three mobile titles a year. Some had hoped we might see the Zelda mobile title in that push this year. But 2019 instead saw the release of Dr. Mario , Pokémon Masters , and Mario Kart To
Overall, Olympus is a very different map to World’s Edge and Kings Canyon , both in appearance and gameplay. The roughly-circular design of the city allows for interesting rotation choices, and there’s plenty of well-placed ziplines to get players where they need to go. In addition, the broad, open spaces are tailor-made for the new Trident vehicle, giving teams the opportunity to quickly reloc
Both PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds and Fortnite have proven how successful mobile versions Arena Of Valor Heroes console and PC battle royales can be, and it is easy to see why EA would like to replicate that success with Apex Legends . Call of Duty is another major AAA title that successfully transitioned to mobile devices, with the game’s many achievements making Activision Blizzard want more mobile games for all its major franchises. While EA may not be looking to go quite that far just yet, the release of Apex Legends on iOS and Android devices makes plenty of sense from a business standpo
Though the title is already available on PC, Xbox One, and PS4, EA has already hinted at a possible mobile port coming in the near future. In EA’s Q3 2019 earnings call, which took place on the 5th of February, CEO Andrew Wilson emphasized the virtues of their new experie
