"The Borderlands universe is no longer just a console experience. With intuitive, touch-based commands and slick UI, Borderlands Legends combines the inventory and skill tree management that gamers already love about the franchise with a layer of strategy that is popular on mobile devic


Grenier would go on to state that Respawn's goal was to keep players engaged throughout the new season and not wrong them. When Respawn received the immediate feedback, the developer went straight to work on rectifying the past alterations to the Battle Pass. The changes are supposed to be 50% easier to complete, and there will be more changes to come with the recent feedback kept well in m


There are likely still plenty of bugs and balancing fixes on the way as the game's closed beta continues, but so far Bethesda is working with a very solid foundation. The game felt a little too much like Hearthstone at first, but once the runes, Prophecies, and lanes were introduced a few levels in, Legends really started to stand on its own. It's hard to make room for another card game in the rotation, but this one will be worth the ene


When the latest expansion for Apex Legends arrived, the Season 7 Battle Pass received a lot of backlash over the new experience points requirements.

In the post, Grenier responded to user Ender112 who asked why Respawn made the changes to Apex Legends' latest Battle Pass and if it was a disingenuous move by the developer.

Apex Legends is one of the most popular battle royale games on the market, and with EA seeing the success of battle royales on mobile devices, it makes sense that the publisher would want to see the game on the platform. However, EA’s CEO has confirmed that Apex Legends on mobile has been pushed back, with a new release date window provi


Afterwards, Grenier stated the two key changes the team made to the Apex Legends Battle Pass and why they were made. First, Respawn streamlined the star system to reward more stars to players, in order to simplify how the battle pass system operates. Second, the difficulty was adjusted in order to lessen the amount of time players would have to spend engaged in the Apex Legends challenges . This change was made because Respawn received data showing that players were actually completing challenges much earlier than expected, leaving little post-content for t


With Apex Legends recently arriving on Steam , EA seems to be doing all they can to get the Respawn battle royale played by as many gamers as possible. With Apex Legends constantly being updated with balancing changes and new content like with other free-to-play titles, it is likely that the game will retain much of its player count and popularity for some time to come. The eventual mobile release will only see the Apex Legends ecosystem extend further, and it is a smart move to help give the game new l


As you probably noticed, the recently-released and extremely successful Dragon Quest XI does not appear in the ranking, and that's easily explained. It released in Japan on July 29th, over a week after the end of the survey. Due to that unfortunate timing, we won't be able to know how it would fare against Persona 5 for a wh


Both PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds and Fortnite have proven how successful mobile versions of console and PC battle royales can be, and it is easy to see why EA would like to replicate that success with Apex Legends . Call of Duty is another major AAA title that successfully transitioned to mobile devices, with the game’s many achievements making Activision Blizzard want more mobile games for all its major franchises. While EA may not be looking to go quite that far just yet, the release of Apex Legends on iOS and Android devices makes plenty of sense from a business standpo
