Apex Legends is a free-to-play battle royale video game developed by Respawn Entertainment and published by Electronic Arts. The game was announced and released on 4 February 2019 for PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4.

Gameplay

Set more than 30 years after the events of Titanfall 2, up to 60 players explore the Outlands in squads of three to find loot and battle to victory. Players have a selection of eight Legends at launch, Bloodhound, a technilogical tracker, Gibraltar, a shielded fortress, Lifeline, a combat medic, Pathfinder, a forward scout, Wraith, an interdimensional skirmisher, Bangalore, a professional soldier, Caustic, a toxic trapper, and Mirage, a holographic trickster. Caustic and Mirage are locked but can be purchased using in-game currency. Each Legend has their own set of unique Passive, Tactical and Ultimate abilities.

Development

Prior to launch, Drew McCoy, lead producer at Respawn Entertainment, confirmed to journalist Emma Kent at Eurogamer that they have plans to implement cross-platform play into Apex Legends in the future. While this is planned, cross-progress and cross-purchases are not possible due to hardware limitations. McCoy also stated that they would also eventually like Apex Legends to come to iOS, Android and Nintendo Switch, though it is not currently planned.
