Electronic Arts and Respawn Entertainment are celebrating the fifth anniversary of hero shooter / battle royale Apex Legends. But the game shows no signs of slowing down, having just received the latest update, Breakout, on consoles and PC. It introduces new innovative Legend Upgrades, as well as changes to the Ranked experience while providing deeper strategy and more streamlined matchplay.
Throughout the season, players will also earn Breakout Rewards when a new Legend becomes free-to-play for the rest of the season. The lineup of Legends include Fuse, Seer, Rampart, Mad Maggie, Loba and Valkyrie – each with a unique set of challenges that players must complete to permanently unlock that Legend.
To celebrate the anniversary, players will also be able to jump into a fast-paced limited-time mode Straight Shot. 10 squads drop into predetermined Points of Interest, next to fully-kitted guns and enemy squads ready for action.
“Over the last five years, with its passionate community at the forefront of every innovation, evolution, and seasonal launch, Respawn has continued to grow the Apex Legends experience. The roster of individually crafted and diverse Legends has grown to 24, players can compete across five massive and dynamic maps and countless weapons and new features have been added to transform the strategic experience. Players can engage in a variety of new rotating modes through Mix Tape and ongoing limited time events that experiment with unique gameplay concepts to keep players on their toes. Apex Legends’ deep storyline set in Respawn’s iconic Titanfall universe keeps players entertained inside the game as well as outside through the Stories from the Outlands video series and their recent four-part Kill Code mini-series.”
