EA’s just reported its fourth quarter results – and amongst the dry business jargon are some interesting tidbits concerning Apex Legends. Namely, that the game’s coming to mobile devices and China.
“We are in advanced negotiations to bring Apex Legends to China and to mobile, and we will update you on timeframes when those negotiations are concluded”, said EA exec Blake Jorgensen during the earnings call (via Seeking Alpha).
Back in late January at the Apex Legends reveal event, McCoy told Eurogamer during an interview that Respawn would love to bring the game to mobile or Switch, but had nothing to announce for either at that stage. The reason given back then, McCoy explained, was the same as why Respawn had made the title free to play from day one: to allow as many people as possible to play.
“The more people who play it the happier we are,” McCoy stated. “That also extends to platforms, and everyone has an Xbox or PlayStation or PC or Switch – they definitely have a phone or tablet – so we’ve talked about it but we don’t have any info on it right now.”
