During EA's investor call today, EA's CEO, Andrew Wilson, was talking about how mobile fits into EA's plans. Wilson then dropped that Apex Legends will soft launch by the end of the year. Bringing Apex Legends to mꦜobile doesn't come as a 🎉huge surprise, as EA has been expanding their games on to every platform possible. Wilson also mentioned that other games are in various stages of development for mobile platforms. It will be interesting to see what other EA titles are heading to mobile platforms in the future.
Apex Legends has had a big week of news. During EA Play Live, the new season, Lost Treasures Collection, was announced. Apex Legends is also coming to Steam and Nintendo Switch this Fall. Crossplay between all major platforms would also come to the game this Fall. Apex Legends coming to mobile is the next step for the hit battle royale. Considering EA's openness to crossplay, Apex Legends mobile will pro♛bably feature crossplay with other platforms.
Battle Royale games such as PUBG and Fortnite have made smooth transitions to phones, so it makes sense that Apex Legends would want to make the jump. Having phones as a massive platform to crossover with PC and console players will create an even bigger player base for Apex Legends. Apex Legends on mobile will also create a🌃 significant revenue stream for EA to cash iꦕn.
Apex Legends have had a fantastic run in the crowded Battle Royale genre. Respawn shadow dropped the game at the beginning of 2019, and the game continues to stay relevant with the release of so many new games. Adding new characters, a new map, and events have kept the game fresh and created a strong fanbase. Time will tell if Apex Legends ꦍwill flourish on mobile devices, or if players will only continue to play the game on cꦚonsoles and PCs.
