Players airdrop onto a remote island with no supplies (apart from 50 shield and two shield cells and syringes) on their person they must scavenge equipment from the environment and fight against others in an ever-shrinking free-for-all battlefield, with the winner being the last man standing. The game is a "hero shooter," where players play as discrete, individualized characters with their own designs, personalities, stories and special abilities. Unlike the previous games, however, Apex Legends is an ongoing live service game with no single-player campaign or traditional multiplayer matchmaking. GameplayĪpex Legends is a first-person shooter, as the previous mainline games in the Titanfall series. The island of King's Canyon was a region formerly rich in resources, but it is now a dedicated bloodsport island home to the finest hunters and gladiators on the Frontier, the primary site of the Apex Games. The Apex Games are presumed to be founded and organized by Kuben Blisk, founder of the original Apex Predators mercenary unit and veteran of the Frontier War. With neither the IMC nor the Militia to exert order upon the war-ravaged Frontier, the intervening time allowed the birth of a new competitive bloodsport known as the Apex Games. The Frontier War is over, with the presumed defeat of the IMC a decade earlier.

Apex Legends takes place eighteen years after the events of Titanfall 2, in a region on the fringes of the Frontier known as the Outlands.
