For several days now, rumors have been circulating about a new Battle Royale game that could give Fortnite, PUBG, Blackout, and the like a run for their money. It's called Apex Legends , and it's a free-to-play game where you can choose characters from different classes. The best part? It will be officially unveiled in just a few hours and could even be available for download immediately.
A new Battle Royale
Developed by Respawn, the game appears to have a similar aesthetic to Titanfall ; however, all indications are that this time we won't see any titans. Any resemblance you find will likely be due to the use of the same game engine as Titanfall and Titanfall 2. The company has encouraged fans to tune in to a live stream starting at 21:00 PM in Spain, although the stream is already offering glimpses of what we can expect in the final presentation.
Apex Legends is rumored to be a battle royale game that will bring together 60 simultaneous players in teams of up to 3, and will even have some MOBA elements. Thanks to a leaked image, we can see that among the 8 playable characters, there will be different classes (attack, defense, and healing). The characters revealed so far are Bloodhound, Gibraltar, Lifeline, Pathfinder, Wraith, Bangalore, Caustic, and Mirage.
60 people in groups of up to 3 players .. It seems that all the cards are on the table, right?
So, if the hype doesn't let you sleep, tune in with us. Our LIVE starts at 17pm (??).

Another thing that has been known in advance is the map on which the game will take place. Like other battle royales, the game will take place on an island where apparently there will be many areas with different heights. We'll see if the characters are equipped with some kind of jetpack or not, but the great high jumps that exist in the different areas of the map are striking.
live presentation
The official Apex Legends account is already live-streaming the presentation, so we've included the video below so you can watch it with us and not miss a thing. And don't forget that if it launches today, we'll be testing the game immediately on our Twitch stream, CoopTV.
