Apex Legends teased for mobiles in 2020: All we know so far

Respawn Entertainment's foray into the battle royale genre came in the form of Apex Legends, released last year with little to no marketing and promotion from them or EA.

The game was a surprise to many, and a pleasant one at that. Apex Legends is a fast-paced BR game that emphasises on and encourages team play. Each squad of three members each gets to pick from 13 current Legends, each with unique skills and abilities.

Similar to games like Overwatch, and more recently Valorant, the different characters picked by a squad change the dynamics of a match completely. Therefore, finding a good combination for your squad is of the highest importance in Apex Legends.

Other games in the same genre, such as PUBG and Fortnite, are a huge presence in the mobile market, and bringing Apex Legends to smartphones has also been a subject of debate. EA had also remained tight-lipped about the same, until recently.

Here it is. EA CEO talks about bringing Apex Legends to iOS & Android globally by the end of this year. Follow @ApexLatest for more exclusives.#apexlegendsmobile @EA @EAMobile @Respawn @apex_intel @TitanfallBlog @TencentGames @ZhugeEX pic.twitter.com/zIMhDEIwaH

EA CEO Andrew Wilson yesterday finally talked about bringing Apex Legends to mobile platforms via a soft launch in 2020. This is great news for fans who may already be playing the game on consoles as well as PCs.

This is also great news for mobile gaming enthusiasts in general. Games like PUBG Mobile have dominated the mobile gaming market since its release, and Fortnite has a major presence as well, so another option could be a good thing.
