A free-to-play Titanfall battle royale game called Apex Legends is reportedly coming Monday

EA and Respawn are set to announce a free-to-play battle royale game based on Titanfall Monday, February 4, according to multiple sources within and close to the games industry. Dubbed Apex Legends, the game has been described as a mix of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4’s Blackout and Rainbow Six Siege. Apex Legends is said to be a hero battle royale, allowing players to choose a class or hero with distinctive abilities and operate as part of a team of up to three, with servers supporting up to 60 players, according to esports consultant Rod Breslau, who goes by @Slasher on Twitter. Breslau says his sources describe the game’s free-to-play model as a “similar approach to that in Overwatch,” with microtransactions and loot boxes for in-game cosmetic items. Twitter games blogger Nibel has sources saying Apex Legends is “set in the Titanfall universe” and described it as a mix of Blackout and Siege. Nibel also reports that EA filed for trademarks for the name Apex Legends (and Project Apex) last October, right around the time that EA announced that Respawn would have “multiple games” launching in 2019.
