EA Games is all set to launch the mobile version of their popular battle royale title, Apex Legends. It was two years back when EA announced the mobile version of the game. Since, then, there was no clear information about the launch of the game.
Surprisingly, last month, EA announced the first beta version of the game. India is the first country that got the initial beta release, a few weeks back. Although the exact release date of the stable version hasn’t been revealed yet. However, we can expect to get the full game in a few months from now.
In this article, we will be discussing everything about the upcoming Apex Legends Mobile, and also how you can play it right now on your Android smartphone.
What is Apex Legends Mobile Version?
Apex Legends Mobile is the mobile version of Apex Legends PC game which was launched in 2019. The PC version became quite popular over time with millions of active users. With its immense success, the developers have planned to launch the mobile version of the game.
Apex Legends is a hero battle royale game that is currently only available for PC. The game features 20 squads of three people that use premade characters, also known as “legends”.
The game is very similar to other battle royale games like PUBG, COD, Fortnite, etc. You can create your own squad, or its server will match you randomly with other players. Before you start playing, you have to choose a character. As of the latest season, there are 17 characters available, although the mobile version doesn’t feature that much at this time.
A squad can’t play using similar characters, so every player has to choose a different character. Each character has its own abilities, design, and a unique personality that gives the squad different powers.
The gameplay is pretty much same as other games, where you have to pick weapons and kill the opponent squad. The last squad which survives becomes the “Apex Champions” of the match.
So, if we talk about the upcoming mobile version, then it will be the same as their PC version. The beta releases have shown us the exact same gameplay that we have in the Apex Legend PC.
