EA Confirms Delay To Mobile Version Of Apex Legends

Just because something hasn't been seen, doesn't mean it wasn't there. Right about this time last year, Nintendo is said to have applied for a claim on the Legend of Zelda Spirit Tracks title, with the wording " program for a smartphone " included. Spirit Tracks was a Zelda title originally released in 2009 for the DS. It's not very likely that Nintendo would port a game like this to mobile platforms. In fact, Nintendo has said they won't be porting any existing titles to mobile per


It’s no secret that Electronic Arts is eager to muscle in on territory previously claimed by games like Fortnite and PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds , and, since those games have long since received mobile translations , it makes sense that the publisher would want to combat the competition on every possible fr


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


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


Plus, though the circumstances aren’t quite analogous, EA may risk upsetting consumers worn out over underwhelming mobile products. Blizzard recently learned that the hard way, as their Blizzcon reveal of the mobile-only Diablo Immortal went over about as well as PUBG ’s legal battle against Epic Games. Apex Legends' mobile launch may line EA’s pockets, but the publisher doesn’t exactly have much credibility to sacrifice at this po


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


There may be some skeptics out there who claim these rumors are just that and a Zelda mobile title was never in the works. It seems odd that Nintendo would go through the hassle of claiming rights to an old title if they didn't have something brewing though. A more likely scenario might be Nintendo decided to take whatever they had been working on in a different direct

Though the title is already available on PC, Xbox One, and PS4, EA has already hinted at a possible mobile port coming in the near future. In EA’s Q3 2019 earnings call, which took place on the 5th of February, CEO Andrew Wilson emphasized the virtues of their new experie


For those unfamiliar, The Elder Scrolls: Legends is a game that has staked its reputation on being a hybrid of sorts - the same flash and nostalgia that fuels some of Hearthstone 's biggest moments with gameplay that is more closely aligned with Magic: the Gathering 's complicated, chess-like matches. That's been Legends ' selling point since day one, and it has definitely lived up to the billing, as its gameplay offers refreshing depth while still delivering an epic feel


As a once-wealthy and opulent floating city, Olympus has retained much of its shine even after being abandoned. The entire map has a sculptured, geometric beauty to it, a far cry from the functional, rough-edged architecture of World's Edge. All the streets and parks in Olympus are neatly laid out in overlapping geometric patterns, bordered by triangles of verdant grass and overgrown gard


Still, lapsed Legends players and hardcore fans will view this as a can't miss that freshens up the online meta and allows for more deckbuilding variation. The Elder Scrolls: Legends Heroes of Skyrim is an enjoyable expansion that will sate fans of the game until the next set releases and provide some memorable, lore-infused moments along the way, but it does little to attract a new player who wasn't already interested to check the game


Dropping almost out of the blue on Electronic Art’s Origin platform last Monday, Respawn Entertainment’s Apex Legends has picked up an incredible amount of steam in the few days it’s been available for download. In a space seemingly cluttered with dime-a-dozen Fortnite wannabes, EA’s new title, which is set in the Titanfall universe, is proving to be a legitimate contender in the extremely competitive battle royale Arena of Valor jungle guide. Time will tell if it manages to maintain a sizable player-base, but, for the moment, it certainly has everyone’s attent
