Ubisoft's Next Move in Battle Royale: Heavily Inspired by Apex Legends
Ubisoft's New Battle Royale Game Inspired by Apex Legends
Ubisoft is currently developing a battle royale game that is heavily inspired by Respawn Entertainment’s Apex Legends. Over the past few years, the battle royale genre has taken off, with titles like Fortnite and PUBG leading the charge. While many games share common themes, Apex Legends sets itself apart with its roster of legends, each featuring unique abilities that add depth to the gameplay.
New Features and Gameplay
According to a report from Tom Henderson, Ubisoft's new title, currently code-named ‘Scout’, aims to provide gameplay elements similar to Pathfinder, Wraith, and Lifeline. Henderson suggests that Ubisoft is looking to capitalize on the recent drop in Apex's player count over the last 12 months.
Respawn's Challenges and Ubisoft's Strategy
Respawn’s game has faced criticism for a lack of new content and an increased focus on microtransactions, leading to a decline in player engagement. In light of this, Ubisoft hopes to attract players looking for a fresh experience in the battle royale genre.
As we await further details, the gaming community is keen to see how Ubisoft will innovate in a space dominated by the likes of Apex Legends.
