At this point, it seems pretty clear that Respawn has moved on from Titanfall, with the studio's main priority now being Apex Legends. We may see some of that Titanfall formula return though, as Respawn has begun hiring for a new single-player shooter. 

While initially Apex Legends was set in the Titanfall universe, it seems Apex is now its own standalone IP. In new job listings (via Dexerto), Respawn reveals it is working on an “Apex Universe FPS incubation project”, which will be a new single-player shooter from the studio.

As this is an incubation project, the team will be small and there will be plenty of prototyping. With that in mind, there isn't a guarantee that this game makes it all the way to release. It is also worth noting that if the project does get pushed through, then it will take a few years to actually make.

Previous reports about a single-player Respawn FPS have hinted at a game with similar mobility and overall style to Titanfall, but not a direct sequel. With these job listings pointing towards an Apex game, it seems like a safe bet that we won't see any titans.

KitGuru Says: Apex Legends is by far the bigger IP at this point, so investing further in that makes sense. Still, it is a huge shame to see Titanfall dropped after the excellent Titanfall 2 campaign.

Apex Legends has brought in $2 Billion for EA so far https://www.kitguru.net/gaming/mustafa-mahmoud/apex-legends-has-brought-in-2-billion-for-ea-so-far/ https://www.kitguru.net/gaming/mustafa-mahmoud/apex-legends-has-brought-in-2-billion-for-ea-so-far/#respond Tue, 17 May 2022 12:00:18 +0000 https://www.kitguru.net/?p=560508 Apex Legends launched in a surprise manner back in early 2019 as a fresh take on the battle royale genre, offering a third prong in the Fortnite / PUBG duopoly present at the time.

Apex Legends launched in a surprise manner back in early 2019 as a fresh take on the battle royale genre, offering a third prong in the Fortnite / PUBG duopoly present at the time. This helped the game carve a significant chunk of the market for itself, now having made a total of $2 Billion.

During EA’s most recent fiscal earnings call, the publisher’s CFO, Chris Suh, revealed that the battle royale shooter has made $2 Billion in revenue since its surprise launch on the 4th of february 2019.

As reported by dotesports, Apex Legends has seen significant growth in recent months, with Suh stating that the game has seen its revenue increase by 40% when compared to the previous year. Additionally, the game’s recent 12th in-game season was reportedly Apex’s “most successful ever” – presumably in terms of the number of passes they sold.

While it may be true that other free-to-play games have made more money in much less time, Apex Legends’ success should not be understated – especially as the studio responsible for the game (Respawn Entertainment) have been unlucky in the past when it comes to finding an audience for their high quality titles.

With Respawn Entertainment currently testing a mobile port of Apex Legends, and the console release continuing to see consistent support, EA executives expect Apex Legends to eventually be making more than a Billion Dollars every single year. We will have to wait and see whether this will indeed happen.

Project Cars might not have ticked everyone's boxes when it was finally release early last month, but it has given a lot of people a very pretty set of cars and tracks to race around in and on. If you've found your PC isn't quite up to the task of handling its impressive visuals though, perhaps you'll be interested in OCUK's new lineup of Project Cars themed systems.

Part of the retailers Forcebox range, the new rigs are Chicane, Slipstream and Apex, for obvious reasons and they pack a lot of powerful hardware capable of delivering high-end performance which should handle Project Cars without stumbling.

The Chicane offers an i5 CPU, a GTX 970 and 8GB of DDR3, though there are many options for those interested, to configure.  The Slipstream is a little more powerful with an i7 CPU and a GTX 980, whilst the Apex is a monster with a high-end i7 chip running alongside a GTX Titan X and 16GB of DDR4.

Each system can have a few additions made, such as upgrading the bundled SSD to something bigger or faster, as well as additional hard drives, OS of choice and whether you want the stock case or something a bit more flashy. Prices range from £900 for the Chicane, up to a base cost just shy of £2,0000 for the Apex – though it can get a lot more expensive depending on the options you choose.

All come with OCUK's standard warranty and build quality guarantee, and are available with up to 48 months of financing for those that don't have the spare cash lying around to buy one of these outright.

KitGuru Says: Although Windows 10 is just around the corner, at least you get yourself a free upgrade with a system like this thanks to the official license.
