A New Battle Royale Game With Diverse Characters

Apex Legends is a free to-play battle royale game from Respawn Entertainment, published by Electronic Arts in 2019. One day after it was released the game already counted 2.5 million unique players and in just one month earned US$92 million: a record for a free-to-play game. Critics have called it one of the best takes on the battle-royale genre to date and praised its character diversity. This is a moderately violent game with an R13 rating, which distinguishes It from no-gore Fortnite. Ninja and Tim the Tatman are some of the well-known game streamers. In New Zealand you can play Apex Legends on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC.

Like other battle royale games, the aim is to be the last player or team standing. Matches usually have twenty teams in three-player squads, although new modes allow single and two-player squads. Players skydive out of an aeroplane onto a map, which has a safe zone that is gradually shrinking to force encounters. Players outside the safe zone receive damage. Games are typically short, 10-20 minutes, and the last team standing is crowned “Apex Champions” of that match. Apex Legends is generally considered to be the only worthy competitor to Fortnite Battle Royale. Respawn and EA have created an Apex Legends Global Series with several events during the year and a prize pool in the millions. You can wager on them all with Spin Sports Esportsbook.
