Apex LegendsApex Legends is a free-to-play battle royale game developed by Respawn Entertainment and published by Electronic Arts. It was released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on February 4, 2019, without any prior announcement or marketing.
Apex Legend
The gameplay of Apex Legends fuses elements of a variety of video games, including Respawn's own Titanfall series, battle-royale games, class-based shooters, and those with evolving narratives[citation needed]. In each round, approximately sixty players in squads of three will skydive on to an island, with one player controlling where their squad lands. The teams must then scavenge for weapons and equipment in order to fight other players, during which time the play area is gradually constricted in size until only one squad remains and therefore wins the match
Work on the game began sometime around late 2016 and early 2017, though the project remained a secret right up until its launch. The game's release in 2019 came as a surprise, as until that point it had been assumed that Respawn Entertainment was working on a sequel to Titanfall 2, the studio's previous major title
Apex Legends received positive reviews from critics, who praised its gameplay, progression system, and fusion of elements from various genres. Some considered it a worthy competitor to Fortnite Battle Royale, a similar game that had gained massive popularity in the previous year. The game surpassed over 25 million players by the end of its first week, and 50 million within its first month. According to EA, as of July 2019 the game had approximately 8 to 10 million players a weekApex Legends is a battle royale game in which up to 20 three-man squads land on an island before searching for weapons and supplies to then attempt to defeat all other players in combat. The final team alive wins the round. The game is set in the same sci-fi universe as Respawn Entertainment's Titanfall franchise.[
Unlike other prominent battle-royale games, Apex Legends is also similar to "hero shooters", in that it allows the player to choose from a selection of player characters before each round, each with a unique set of skills. The characters are known as "legends" within the game.[
The game focuses heavily on teamwork and includes a much praised system of nonverbal communication, known as "Pinging", which allows players to use their game controller in order to communicate to their team things like directions, weapon locations, enemies and suggested strategies.[
Using the "Ping" command will create an icon (a so-called Ping) to appear at the location where the player is looking which is accompanied by an appropriate voice line from the player's in-game character. The Ping will be visible to the player as well as their teammates for a short duration. The Ping icon defaults to a "Go" command, which suggests to the squad an area to explore. However, if the player is looking at something specific (such as a weapon or a piece of equipment) then the Ping icon will change contextually to highlight the presence and location of that object.[
The Ping command system also has more advanced functionalities, such as tapping the Ping command twice in quick succession to highlight enemies, holding down the Ping command to bring up more detailed options, Pinging when you need ammunition or equipment, context-based Pings which are unique to characters within the game, and being able to respond to or cancel prior Pings.[
Players who become knocked down in the course of a game can be revived by their teammates. Should a player be killed completely, they can still be resurrected if their team members collect a banner, which appears at the place where they died, and bring it to one of several beacons on the island.[
The gameplay of Apex Legends is considered to be very fast-paced and action-packed, as intense firefights will break out frequently between rival teams and with the game allowing players a very high level of movement speed and freedom.[
Apex Legends is a free-to-play game meaning that there is no initial purchase required in order to play.[1] The game instead includes a system of microtransactions and loot boxes which allow the player to spend both real money and in-game currency on cosmetic items, such as outfits for the game's "legends" and new colors for weapons.[
The developers of Apex Legends have outlined their roadmap for the game's first year of additional content, with a new game season planned for every three months. Each new season is intended to bring with it the release of a new playable character, new weapons and purchasable cosmetic items.[
Season
The game's first season started on March 19, 2019. Associated with seasons are time-limited battle passes which reward players with new cosmetic items, should they complete in-game challenges during the season.[8][9][10] Alongside new cosmetic items, seasons can also bring changes to the map and additional gameplay elements.[11]ns7]6]5]2]4]4]3]2]1]e..dsweeks
