In its Q3 earnings call (the same call during which EA talked about the power of next-gen consoles ), EA revealed that the mobile game isn't being developed in-house; instead, EA partnered up with a Chinese company to both develop Apex Legends mobile for a global release and distribute it in China. According to EA CFO Blake Jorgensen, "Rolling mobile out in China, you need to have a partner, and we’re—as we’ve said in the prepared remarks today—we’re working with a partner there, and we’re very excited about the opportunity. That partner is also helping us develop a mobile Apex for the globe—more to come on that in terms of timing." EA's Chinese partner wasn't actually named in the call and considering it's fairly early in the partnership, that's likely the reason that EA doesn't have a release date for the game yet--although there is a release wind


However, EA has partnered up with Chinese developers on multiple other occasions to roll out mobile versions of its flagship titles, including FIFA Online 4 and Need for Speed Online . Both of those were made in a partnership with the Chinese conglomerate Tencent, which itself owns Riot Games, and Tencent is also responsible for the massively successful mobile title arena of valor tips of Valor .

EA announced its decision to bring its popular battle royale game Apex Legends to mobile devices last year, but fell more or less silent on the subject until its recent third-quarter earnings call. During the call, EA finally confirmed that the release of Apex Legends for mobile is moving forward as planned, as EA spent those months of radio silence locking in a publishing partner in Ch


Today, Bethesda announced that its free-to-play collectible card game, The Elder Scrolls: Legends, which has been in beta on PC since last year, is finally officially launching today on the same platf


At the very least, Apex Legends fans do have something in the very near future to look forward to, as the game's season 4--titled "Assimilation" --goes live on February 4. Beyond that, fans can at least be assured that the mobile title they so enthusiastically wanted remains a definite reality; it's coming, but there'll be a bit of a w


Wilson then went on to reveal that the game will arrive in "FY22," which is a lengthy period from October 2021 to September 2022.

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.

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 .

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

While there's still no release date, EA at least offered a few more details as to how the mobile Apex Legends' development is currently far


The original launch date of Apex Legends on mobile was set for late 2020 , however it has become increasingly clear as the months pass that the game will not meet that date. As such, EA has decided to be a bit less tight-lipped regarding the project, as the company’s CEO Andrew Wilson has mentioned a delay for Apex Legends ’ mobile version.
