Apex Legends
Apex Legends from Respawn Entertainment arrived on PC, PS4, and Xbox One on February 4, 2019. It came as a complete surprise from the developers behind the acclaimed Titanfall series, and it quickly became immensely popular following its release. A free-to-play game that falls into the battle royale genre and blends aspects of Fortnite and hero shooters like Overwatch, Apex Legends has players group up in teams of three and choose from a selection of characters with different abilities called “legends.” The game then drops the team on to a giant map filled with weapons, armor, and other items to fight it out with other squads in a mission to be the last players standing. And Season 7 is finally here.
