Apex Legends shares a tribute video to celebrate the 2nd anniversary

The developers of Respawn Entertainment took up this game as a passion project. Learning from the previous ‘Titanfall franchise’, they were now aiming to create a Battle Royale game set in the same universe. This project turned out to be one of their biggest offering, as its premier season saw the title earn a massive fan following.

The game indeed went through ups and downs in coming seasons as the competition in the genre grew stiff. Respawn had to fight against major titles like Fortnite, Warzone and others to keep their title relevant. This led to the game going through days of slump, where it’s popularity dropped considerably. However, loyal fans of Apex Legends continued to support the title, and they never left its side despite rough days.
