We knew it would be risky to take the franchise in this direction, to go free to play, and do a surprise launch. EA recently held their Q3 2019 investors call, and one investor raised the question of potential competition. "Respawn also plans to launch a premium game this year that is a new twist on the Titanfall universe", Andrew Wilson, CEO of EA said during an earnings call yesterday. More to come on that in the months ahead.
Apex Legends didn't lack for word-of-mouth buzz on its opening day, with EA Games' entry into the battle royale fray scoring a huge early success as gamers logged on by the literal millions.
This would really be a feather in the cap for Apex Legends, introducing the kind of competitive play that multiplayer gamers lust for with leaderboards.
Mike Ng: It seems that in fiscal 2020 Respawn will now be operating or launching three titles between that one, Apex, and Star Wars, could you just talk about Respawn capacity for that? The company was most disappointed in the low Battlefield V sales, as well as its mobile-gaming revenue. Could it be a Titanfall MOBA game? "We absolutely are looking at that in the context of Apex", Wilson said in regards to cross-platform play, noting that other games in EA's lineup, particularly Federation Internationale de Football Association, could benefit from cross-play as well. And so you can see very clearly as you watch and you play the game, that there are going to be opportunities to take the game in different directions over time. esports will nearly certainly be part of that additional game modes, the impact of additional legends over time, great view content will have an impact.
Note that if you do get an invite from within Steam, you'll still need to download the Origin client to download and play Apex Legends.
