Titled **Apex Legends ** , the new Titanfall game is a battle royale that will feature three-player squads but, weirdly, no actual Titans (the large, playable mechs the series takes its name from). Instead it seems EA is focusing on the high-speed, kinetic infantry gameplay of Titanfall which is inspired from the developer's roots in Call of Duty (they were initially formed from Infinity Ward de

Lifeline is a medic on the battlefield, deploying health through D.O.C. Heal Drones to those in need. She has the fastest revival time out of all the characters and that comes with a shield to cover both her and her fallen squad member. She's also able to call in a care package that gets dropped into the battlefield from ab

Respawn’s latest game was only released on Monday and already it’s having a huge impact. The free-to-play battle royale title, set in the Titanfall universe, was developed in secret, with the vast majority of gamers only becoming aware of it at lau

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

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

Here is how to put it all together. The grapple point acts as a passive force that propels you forward. Holding forward on your controller or keyboard acts as an additional force to pull you forward and increase speed. Finally, strafing left or right will pull you in that direction, away from the grapple point, while increasing your speed. In order to stay attached to your grapple point, the angle created from the grapple point to where you are looking must not exceed 90 degrees. Basically, if you are looking to replicate Triv’s spinning grapple tactic, you will need to keep the grapple point in view at all times as you strafe left or ri

On top of the game's racial diversity, two of the Legends have been confirmed as LGBTQ characters. The first is Gibraltar, who is a tank-like character with heavily defensive abilities. In his official biography on EA’s website his backstory talks about "when he and his boyfriend stole his father’s motorcycle", highlighting his sexuality in a way which is relevant to his backgro

One of the things currently being praised is the diversity within the character roster. While there is always an argument for more representation, the range of characters Respawn has created is fantastic to see. They have managed with just eight characters to represent a significant amount of people who rarely get to see themselves reflected in a g

By releasing Apex Legends on Monday, EA is risking this battle royale game cannibalizing the upcoming Firestorm mode for BFV which is slated for release this spring. Of course, these are two very different types of shooters, one set in the past, and one hyper-futuristic with verticality and wall-running in mind. The other interesting observation here is that EA's big bet and new IP, Anthem , releases in just two weeks. Anthem is a futuristic online-only game, so Apex Legends could bite into that as w

The lack of build up doesn’t seem to have impacted its success, as the game hit the one million player mark in just 7 hours. Since then the numbers have grown and current figures put the number of players at over 10 million. While Apex Legends still has a long way to go to reach the heights of Fortnite or PUBG, the game is certainly making solid progr

A new Titanfall game isn't at all surprising given that in 2018 Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson confirmed to sharedholders that Respawn, their latest developer acquisition, had two teams working on two different projects. One is this, Apex Legends , and the other is the mysterious Star Wars game Jedi Fallen Order which is slated for release later this year. What is surprising however, is the timing of Apex's rele

EA had Battlefield V releasing alongside Black Ops 4 but the publisher rushed developer DICE into releasing the game just two years after Battlefield 1 , meaning it launched with much of its content missing, including the game's co-op mode and Firestorm battle royale mode . Worse yet, Firestorm will only support 64 players, quite a bit under the magic battle royale player count number of 100. As we know now, Apex Legends Patch Notes|Https://Apexarenaelite.Com/ Legends will support even less play
