    One source said on the project, “I think the goal is to capitalize on the player count of Apex dropping and them [Ubisoft higher-ups] thinking there’s room in the market for another hero Battle Royale.”

    Ah yes, if I’m getting bored of Apex Legends, that means what I want is to instead join another game that is exactly like it.

      I have a friend who played a TON of Apex on console, and spent nearly $1000 on it. He moved to PC gaming, and Apex promised cross platform skins soon™. They finally do it, years later, and fuck it up. He lost all his skins, his account was basically wiped of all things he spent $ on. They refuse to help him.

      He’d play an Apex clone for sure, but probably not one from Ubisoft.

      Anidotal, I know.

      But wait, you’ll be able to climb towers to unlock Ubipoints. If you grind for a year, you’ll be able to redeem them for a different colored costume.

    They learned nothing from their last few blunders, huh. They already had a battle royale called Hyperscape that flopped.

    I loved XDefiant, and I used to play a lot of Apex. Hope they can succeed with it, because I’d absolutely play an Apex without any ties to EA.
