Apex Legends could become a billion dollar franchise by March 2021
Apex Legends continues to make EA a lot of money. The battle royale game is set to become another of the publisher's major earning properties by the end of the fiscal year.
Commenting on the growth of the multiplayer game, EA COO and CFO Blake Jorgensen says it should be worth a billion dollars by March 2021 (ta, Gamasutra). "Apex Legends is on track to become our latest billion-dollar franchise by the end of the fiscal year," Jorgensen said. "All of our studios continue to execute amazingly well and have enabled us to launch an industry-leading eight games since the beginning of the fiscal year, while continuing to deliver live services content and expand onto new platforms."
In terms of raw earnings, the FPS game from developer Respawn Entertainment is expected to rake in around $500 million for the fiscal year, with net bookings up 24% year-on-year. According to EA, live-service games and other sources brought in $846 million last quarter, and a graph supplied shows that Apex Legends is on par with The Sims 4 for revenue, outgrossing Madden Ultimate Team, but still in the shadow of Fifa Ultimate Team.
