Fortnite-competitor Apex Legends is coming to mobile

<p>It seems EA is going through a period of introspection at the moment. Not only are their games now returning to Steam (starting with the new <em>Star Wars</em> game), they’re also not even doing a <em>Battlefield</em> game next year.&nbsp;Lots of news regarding their recent earnings call have been surfacing around the web, and normally it wouldn’t apply to us as EA’s track record on mobile hasn’t been amazing…</p>
<p>… except they’ve now decided to bring <em>Apex Legends</em> to mobile.</p>

<p>What is <em>Apex Legends</em>? It’s basically <em>Fortnite</em>, except it’s made by someone else (the dev team who made <em>Titanfall</em>, if that matters). It’s actually done really well for itself in terms of carving out its own slice of the&nbsp; Battle Royale Pie that’s basically defined 2019, and it now seems to be one of EA’s most lucrative properties.</p>
<p>Andrew Wilson, EA’s CEO, confirmed during the earnings call that they’re going to focus more on live-service games, and that <em>Apex Legends</em> specifically is going to become a long-term franchise for them, and that includes taking the game to <em>“mobile, new platforms and new geographies.”</em></p>
<p>Blake Jorgensen, the CFO and COO for EA, was a little more specific. They’re looking at doing this new roll-out in the 2021 ‘fiscal’ year, which actually starts on October 1st, 2020. That means we should hopefully see <em>Apex Legends</em> on Mobile towards the end of next year.</p>
<p>Whether that means just iOS, or iOS and Android is anybody’s guess, but <em>Fortnite</em>’s done very well for itself on mobile platforms so there’s no reason why <em>Apex</em> shouldn’t do the same.. As far as free-to-play games go, Battle Royales are actually incredibly tame – the action and core mechanics are all free, and it’s mainly just about buying avatar skins to express yourself.</p>
<p><em>I don’t expect we’ll hear more on this for a while, but if there is any new information we’ll keep you informed.</em></p>
