Another Popular Shooter Game Joins Call of Duty in the Board Games Genre

Looking for a new board game to play? – Well, now, you have not just a Call Of Duty one but also from another renowned name.

Respawn Entertainment’s Apex Legends is one of the biggest battle royales in the world. While its counterpart in the shooter genre, Call of Duty, has gifted the fans with Warzone Ranked, it seems they did announce a jolly board game for die-hard fans. Surprisingly, it seems they are not alone anymore in this newly discovered board game genre.

Since Apex Legends’ 2019 release, the game became an instant favorite, as fans loved to spend time in the fictional world. Plus, they finally got a transition from Fortnite that reigned during the time, so overall, the player base had a good impact. But as time passed, the game outgrew from its roots, branching out to different projects to allure the community.

And now, it looks like, after Call Of Duty, Respawn is venturing into the board game industry with its own exclusive title.

After Call Of Duty, Apex Legends is now venturing into the board game industry

For the past couple of weeks, Apex Legends seem to sail through a storm, due to its bad rank system. The pros have set out multiple complaints to fix it, but it looks like they made no difference. Apparently, the game awarded more points to a player finishing higher in the lobby despite having fewer kills, compared to someone dying earlier with more kills. And with the pros going all out for content, this posed a challenge.

However, the devs did not push out any patch regarding it, sliding the matter into the dark. Instead, they made a massive announcement that left the entire community baffled. Just like Call Of Duty, Apex Legends players will be getting a board game soon, inspired by the original title.

It will feature the majority of the legends and have similar mechanics as the game. But then, these are the only details revealed so far, with the franchise staying mum about the crucial ones. Nevertheless, a few other ones reveal the partner name, a website link, and more.

For the Apex Legends: Board Game, Respawn partnered with an exclusive board game-making studio, Glass Cannon Unplugged. And the latter has hosted a campaign on Kickstarter to support the project. 

As of now, 1753 users have backed the project with an overall pot of $317,706 at the time of writing. So, if you’re someone looking to play Apex Legends in a different style and not donated, you have 21 days.

With that being said, two ‘billion-dollar’ franchises have ventured into the board game industry with their exclusives. So, does it mean that more companies will try their luck at competing against them?
