Launched in 2019, Apex Legends is a popular online multiplayer game that soon rose to glory collecting largely positive reviews from the critics who gave a round of applause for the combating sequences and the arresting visual appeal as a battle royale game.
Along with winning hearts, awards and accolades, Apex Legends also threatens the popularity of Fortnite because the growing fandom of Apex Legends may cause Fortnite to lose its dominance over the Battle Royale genre of gaming.
The game involves the players choosing a character or ‘Legend.’ Then, once the game begins, the players are dropped in a field where they are supposed to collect weapons and be teamed with their squads.
In the game, the players can use both real-time cash and in-game currency to purchase items. There can be 23 teams with three players in every squad. The players are also awarded the feature of getting shooters as well as respawning and resurrecting aspects.
The Season 9 change of introducing arena battles have again changed the entire outlook of the game as now there are no longer skydives from aircraft but deathmatches in the arena. The Apex Legends game also allows the players to check their own stats on the leaderboard and further such scores.
