Players airdrop onto a remote island with no supplies (apart from 50 shield and two shield cells and syringes) on their person they must scavenge equipment from the environment and fight against others in an ever-shrinking free-for-all battlefield, with the winner being the last man standing. The game is a "hero shooter," where players play as discrete, individualized characters with their own designs, personalities, stories and special abilities. Unlike the previous games, however, Apex Legends is an ongoing live service game with no single-player campaign or traditional multiplayer matchmaking. Gameplay Īpex Legends is a first-person shooter, as the previous mainline games in the Titanfall series.

The island of King's Canyon was a region formerly rich in resources, but it is now a dedicated bloodsport island home to the finest hunters and gladiators on the Frontier, the primary site of the Apex Games. The Apex Games are presumed to be founded and organized by Kuben Blisk, founder of the original Apex Predators mercenary unit and veteran of the Frontier War. With neither the IMC nor the Militia to exert order upon the war-ravaged Frontier, the intervening time allowed the birth of a new competitive bloodsport known as the Apex Games. The Frontier War is over, with the presumed unknown fate of the IMC a decade earlier. Until we learn more, fans will just have to keep theorycrafting.Apex Legends takes place eighteen years after the events of Titanfall 2, in a region on the fringes of the Frontier known as the Outlands. A recent leak suggested a Pathfinder rework could be on its way, but the information failed to detail which abilities from his kit could be on the chopping block. But hopeful fans should keep their eyes on 2023. They’ve suggested everything from a passive that allows Pathfinder to reel in downed teammates with his grapple, to the ability to heal and restore shields on ziplines. Long have fans pleaded for a new kit or passive for the recon character. And with every passing season without an update, Pathfinder fans grew even more frustrated. But with every following patch, it appeared as though that promise had been shelved in favor of other development choices, character releases and updates, and new maps.

In the same patch notes, the Apex development team claimed it would “take another look” at the grappling MRVN in the future to restore a unique sense of identity to the character. Additionally, in season six, all recon characters received the ability to scan survey beacons, which used to be exclusive to Pathfinder. In season five, Respawn nerfed his grapple’s cooldown to 35 seconds from 15, drastically reducing his ability to maneuver in gunfights. Pathfinder has been overdue for a rework for years. Blisk has his hands all over the Apex Games, but he’s been notably absent in surrounding media since the mobile game’s teaser in May 2022. He’s also been featured in in-game teasers, a fan-made short created in collaboration with Respawn and EA, and the final chapter of Apex’s lore book Pathfinder’s Quest. And many of those fans are adamant he take a more active role in Apex, in one fashion or another.īlisk has appeared in several trailers for Apex, including an early trailer, both Rampart and Valkyrie’s Stories from the Outlands episodes, and an advert for Apex Mobile. He’s the glue holding much of the franchise’s fragmented lore together and a familiar face for longtime fans. On the other hand, Blisk has remained an imposing force in the Titanfall universe, having appeared in all three games: Titanfall, Titanfall 2, and Apex Legends. On one hand, it doesn’t make a ton of sense for the Apex Games commissioner to be competing in the bloodsport he helped design. The Apex community seems split on whether they want Blisk added to the Games.
