Respawn Entertainment's battle royale megahit
Apex Legends (that has well over 50 million players in less than two months since its unexpected release) is one of the biggest
PUBG-like games available on the market today, so it comes as no surprise that Respawn Entertainment will support their global phenomenon with additional content for years to come to keep the growing fanbase engaged.
Considering that the Los Angeles-based developer is also working on
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, it's understandable that we won't be getting any new
Titanfall games for quite some time – and it has recently been confirmed by
Apex Legends' Executive Producer Drew McCoy on the game's website.
"
Additionally, in order to fully support Apex Legends, we are pushing out plans for future Titanfall games," McCoy explained. "
No resources from the Apex Legends team are being shifted to other titles in development here at the studio, nor are we pulling resources from the team working on Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. We know we have a lot of work ahead of us, but we’re up to the challenge and are looking forward to building Apex Legends to its full potential together with our players."
As a reminder, a full-blown sequel to 2016's
Titanfall 2 had been in the works even before EA officially announced that they purchased Respawn Entertainment for nearly $450 million in October 2017.
Apex Legends delivers a squad-based battle royale experience with a uniquely Respawn flavor. Players will select from one of eight Legends - each with their own unique abilities and playstyles - and the last team standing wins. Combatants can choose from unique characters like Bloodhound, the tracker who can see recent enemy activity on the map, or Lifeline, a battlefield medic who can shield teammates and bring them back from the brink of death. Balanced squads and teamwork are critical, as each Legend is easy to pick up and learn, but challenging to master.
Apex Legends is available on Origin for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One NOW!
