Apex Legends is making its leap to mobile devices and will soon be released on iOS and Android. Now there is also a launch date – and it is very close.
When does Apex Legends Mobile come out? Apex Legends Mobile officially launches on May 17, 2022. This means the release is just a few days away. This was announced by the official channel on Twitter.
Currently, you can still pre-register on the official game website to be able to jump in directly at launch. There are various rewards for pre-registration – depending on how many players sign up in the end.
The game can then be downloaded for free on the release day.
The official trailer already gives you a little insight into what you can expect from Apex Legends Mobile:
What’s in Apex Legends Mobile?
This is what the game offers: Basically, Apex Legends Mobile aims to provide a similar gaming experience to its big counterpart on consoles and PC – and it is one of the best battle royale games of 2022. You will jump into battle with a legend and try to survive until the end in the battle royale.
You can expect fast-paced gameplay where quick movements across the map and the skillful use of the various legends will be crucial.
In a limited release that started in early March in some countries, classic battle royale matches were possible on the “Edge of the World” map. Additionally, there were modes like Team Deathmatch, Mini Battle Royale, and 3v3 Arena.
How Mobile differs from the “big” Apex Legends: Apex Legends Mobile has been built from the ground up for mobile, according to the developers. This comes with some optimizations to the controls so that the fast-paced shooter can be played well on a smartphone or tablet.
Furthermore, there will be differences in the legends. In the pre-release, some well-known legends were already playable, such as Lifeline, Octane, Revenant, and more. Additionally, the mobile version of the game is expected to introduce new heroes who will bring entirely new stories.
The mobile game will also include:
- New maps
- Modes
- Live events
that will make their first appearance there. However, there is no more specific information about this yet.
What about Crossplay? Apex Legends Mobile will not offer crossplay that allows you to play against PlayStation, Xbox, or PC players. It completely separates itself from the “main game” and also offers its own cosmetics and battle passes.
Recently, an Apex Legends cheater managed to break crossplay boundaries between PC and console. Such a thing will likely not be possible either.
