Details, gameplay footage, a cinematic trailer, and more have finally arrived for **Apex Legends ** . After ample leaks and speculation, the game is now officially available across Windows PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One . This successor of sorts to Titanfall 2 is a free-to-play game based within the battle royale genre, and is sure to be billed by the publisher and others as Electronic Arts' push to combat Fortnite . Still, this ambitious labelling doesn't quite encapsulate what Apex Legends really

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

Indeed, there are Easter Eggs are scattered about Apex Legends that longtime followers of the studio are sure to find familiar. One of these comes in the form of a Loch Ness Monster-inspired animal affectionately referred to by the community as Nessie (though it doesn't have anything do with the Toho monster of the same name). This loveable plesiosaurus has made the transition over to Apex Legends – much to the delight of fans – but it's not alone. In fact, there is another pair of stuffed animals that can be found within the g

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

For those more interested in the narrative behind Apex Legends , there's still plenty of that for them. Canonically, the game takes place after the events in Titanfall 2 . Despite this, there are no Titans in Apex Legends , which is sure to be a bit of a sore spot for fans of what developer Respawn Entertainment describes as a power fantasy. Still, the story of the game is worth noting, and is more or less perfectly conveyed within the opening cinema

One player in your squad will be assigned as the "jumpmaster," choosing when you jump from the dropship and into the fray. However, all team members have the ability to ping suggested locations, and the jumpmaster has the option to pass the job to someone e

Once you've jumped, your entire team travels together by default. But if you want a little more space, team members can opt to "split" from the combined drop and manage their landing individually. Dropping straight down will also increase your momentum, allowing you to land faster if you "stair step" to your target, alternating between straight drops and leveling out towards your destinat

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

Wraith can be a huge benefit to your team when she's used wisely, with her ability to open up movement options and warn teammates of danger before it comes. But, a poor Wraith can also be a heavy liabil

Passively, Caustic has the ability to see enemies through his gas, allowing himself to stay visually covered and damage an enemy with his gas, all while shooting them, too. Caustic's first active ability is a Nox Gas Trap, which once set up can be triggered by an enemy moving nearby or when the trap is shot. Caustic's Ultimate ability blankets a large area in his Nox Gas, which can be used to grant yourself visual cover or move an enemy out of their own co

Respawn Entertainment's new battle royale game, **apex legends story guide|Https://Apexarenaelite.com/ Legends ** , has been officially revealed and is now available to download on Xbox One, PS4, and PC. Perhaps the worst kept secret in the industry is Respawn's Apex Legends , which was hinted at last year when EA revealed in an earnings call that they had their recently-acquired studio Respawn working on two games: Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and an unannounced title at the t

Each class carries a specific set of passive, active, and and ultimate skills, giving them unique roles in and out of combat. Bloodhound, for example, can track other squads if they've been nearby. Pathfinder can set up ziplines to assist with squad mobility, while Lifeline lays down the healing. Learning how to use your Legend's abilities will make or break your squad's effectiven
