According to EA’s quarterly earnings report, Apex Legends, Respawn Entertainment’s free-to-play battle royale, has grossed over $2 billion since its launch in February 2019. EA and Respawn have started hosting events more frequently in the game, while introducing new maps and game modes regularly.
The regular introduction of a new playable character every three months ensures that the gameplay stays fresh, and the engaging and evolving storyline keeps players intrigued enough to keep them coming back. Although the tradition of adding a new legend to each season will not continue in the future, the upcoming launch of Apex Legends Mobile will certainly enhance Apex’s earning potential even further – at the time of this writing. , more than 10 million players have pre-registered to try out the mobile version of the unique hero shooter, which will launch on May 17.
Apex Legends is an offshoot of two previous Respawn games: Titanfall and Titanfall 2. Both games are set in the same universe as Apex Legends, but despite many fans arguing for a third entry in the Titanfall series, the developer said that there were currently no plans for a Titanfall 3, suggesting that Apex will be its primary focus going forward. As early as 2019, EA announced a 10-year plan for Apex Legends. But that hasn’t completely halted development related to Titanfall, as two of its most iconic villains play a significant role in Apex’s narrative, with one even becoming a playable character.
While Apex Legends is known for keeping its players guessing and surprising them whenever possible, there’s one thing about the game’s future that’s incredibly easy to predict: it’s going to rack up so many Apex Coins this year that even Loba will be jealous.
