The available play area on the island shrinks over time, forcing players to keep moving or else find themselves outside the play area which can be fatal. The game is set in the same science fiction universe as Respawn Entertainments Titanfall and Titanfall 2. The games release in 2019 came as a surprise, as until that point it had been assumed that Respawn Entertainment was working on a third installment to the Titanfall franchise, the studios previous major title. Some considered it a worthy competitor to Fortnite Battle Royale, a similar game that had gained massive popularity in the previous year. Apex Legends surpassed over 25 million players by the end of its first week, and 50 million within its first month. According to EA, as of July 2019, the game had approximately 8 to 10 million players a week and by October 2019 it had approximately 70 million players worldwide. Players can join friends in a squad or can be matched randomly with other players. Before the match, each player on the squad selects one of the 13 playable characters (as of Season 5), with the exception that no character may be selected more than once by a squad. Each character in the squad has a unique design, personality, and abilities that provide different playstyles to the team. All teams are then placed on an aircraft that passes over the game map. One player in each squad is the jumpmaster, selecting when the squad should skydive out of the aircraft and where to land with the concurrence of the other squad members. Apex Legends includes a nonverbal communication ping system which allows players to use their game controller to communicate to their squad certain directions, weapon locations, enemies, and suggested strategies. ![]() Should a player be killed completely, they can still be resurrected if their team member(s) collect their respawn banner, which appears at the place where they died, and bring it to one of several beacons on the island. The banner, however, must be collected within a time limit, before expiring and fully eliminating the player. This also confines squads to smaller spaces to force encounters. The last squad with any members left alive is crowned the Apex Champions of that match. Players are awarded in-game currency based on their squads placement as well as experience points. Each new season is intended to bring with it the release of a new playable character, new weapons and purchasable cosmetic items. Associated with seasons are time-limited battle passes which reward players with new cosmetic items, should they complete in-game challenges during the season. Alongside new cosmetic items, seasons can also bring changes to the map and additional gameplay elements. Season 1 also brought with it the games first battle pass and a large number of new cosmetic items. Following an explosion (shown in the seasons trailer ), roaming alien wildlife, known as leviathans and flyers, have been attracted to the island and destroyed large areas, rendering parts of the map unrecognizable from the previous season. Season 2 also released a new weapon and introduced a new ranked mode of play, allowing players of a similar skill to play against each other, and adjusting a players ranking based on their game performance. A new weapon known as the Charge Rifle is added and changes to Ranked will be made.
