The battle royale game allows for 60 players, or "Legends", in total.
If you've spent any amount of time in battle royale games like Fortnite, then you've probably grown quite accustomed to the world of third person shooters. The latest entry to the battle royale genre comes from Respawn Entertainment and Electronic Arts (EA) and is free to download and play.
My feeds and social media are littered with Apex Legends news at the minute.
This isn't to say that the game won't eventually include a solo and duos mode, but now, it is not being offered. What did you think? There's also the Respawn Beacon, which are one-use locations where any fallen teammates can be revived and jump right back into the action. It will need further polishing but so does every game.
What characters can I play as?
Overall, for a free-to-play title that just came out, Apex Legends looks and runs well. Titanfall 3 is also likely in the works, although there's no word on when we'll see it. In addition to the battle passes, each season will bring new Legends, new weapons, and new loot drops to the game.

In addition, Gianluca de Ficchy added that uncertainty over Brexit has not helped the firm "plan for the future". Sunderland Central MP Julie Elliott said Nissan's decision was "devastating news for our city and the region".
According to the official FAQ, those seasons are scheduled to last for around three months.
As a free-to-play game, Apex Legends has a variety of in-game currencies that you can both earn as well as spend real money on. There's no pay-to-win scheme here, but cosmetics are unlocked in lootbox form via Apex Packs.
In terms of graphics, Apex Legends looks good, but it doesn't look fantastic, even on the highest possible settings.
While Respawn has posted job ads pertaining to what we assumed is for Titanfall 3, and Titanfall 2 fared very well critically (currently at 89 on Metacritic), it seems we won't be getting Titanfall 3 anytime soon.
But despite being set in the same universe, Apex Legends doesn't feature some of Titanfall's key mechanics - such as the giant mechs (Titans) and wall-running.
