When considering popular mobile shooter games available presently, Fortnite, PUBG and Call of Duty are among the top three most popular ones. EA’s Apex Legends is as popular as the trio but the issue is that it is not available on mobile. That may change soon as EA’s CEO Andrew Wilson is reported to have disclosed during a conference call that the company has deliberated on having the popular battle royale game get a soft launch by the end of the year. 
The Apex Legends is a popular game which was meant to give EA an entry point into the lucrative battle royale gaming market. However, the popularity of the game has diminished for a while now, perhaps due to the unavailability of a mobile version. The fortunes of the game may experience some change when it becomes available to the billions of mobile gamers worldwide.
The game may not become available to gamers worldwide this year, though, as a soft launch means only some markets will get the new game on mobile. The company did not reveal the region that’s will become available by the year’s end but we expect the rollout to be expanded by the early part of 2021.
The mobile game scene has turned out to be a very lucrative one. The industry has also experienced some upsurge due to the COVID 19 lockdown and other restrictions. Data released by Sensor Tower showed that Tencent’s PUBG emerged as the top-grossing mobile game in May 2020 with an estimated revenue of $226 million USD. It is no surprise EA is planning to get on board with its own battle royale game which shares the same plot with the PUBG Mobile. That is, you jump from an aircraft, search for weapons and other loot and try to remain the last one standing.
