Apex Legends delivers a squad-based battle royale experience with a uniquely Respawn flavor. Players will select from one of eight Legends - each with their own unique abilities and playstyles - and the last team standing wins. Combatants can choose from unique characters like Bloodhound, the tracker who can see recent enemy activity on the map, or Lifeline, a battlefield medic who can shield teammates and bring them back from the brink of death. Balanced squads and teamwork are critical, as each Legend is easy to pick up and learn, but challenging to master.

Apex Legends showcases several new genre-leading innovations, starting before players even start the match. Once players are ready to begin, they’ll choose their drop point with the Jumpmaster system, giving each squad full control over exactly where they drop in. Is it smarter to head straight for the most valuable loot and risk early conflict with other teams, or make for one of the outlying areas to plot an attack and let other squads pick each other off?

EA and Respawn Entertainment released a new Lore trailer featuring the next Legend to enter the Apex Games, Seer.

Created in collaboration with award-winning illustrator, animator and director Robert Valley, known for his work on Tron: Uprising, Love, Death & Robots and Pear Cider and Cigarettes, the new trailer showcases Robert’s renowned style, delving deeper into the life of this cursed Legend whose glance can turn a mountain to dust, a king to a beggar and an ocean to a desert.
