Apex Legends' Switch Version Has Been Delayed

The good news is, EA actually cares about the quailty of their products.

The bad news is, only sometimes.

@HotGoomba Yeah, Respawn has been pretty good with putting out high quality stuff. Fallen Order was really great and I had fun with the little bit of apex I’ve played.

I never heard of Apex Legends coming to switch anyways until now. I know the game but didn't know about this.

Have they mentioned fps?

I’m not a huge fan of FPS or battle royale games Apex is one of the biggest games put so of course it is great to know Switch will have it.

so they are preparing for switch pro. Okay im fine with that.

I was thinking about this just the other day, as I recently started playing Titanfall 2 (they're set in the same universe) and I'm loving it to bits. Oh well, I'll play a lot of TF2 in the meantime.

Fair play. Always better to delay and try to improve, than to launch in a lesser state and attempt to patch later.

@HotGoomba
Respawn cares about the quality of their games.

EA...glances over at FIFA 21 Legacy...not so much.

EA?

Don’t care. Won’t care.

Most 3rd party switch games = delayed

I can't put my finger on why, but I'm not expecting much from this. If I'm wrong then fine. Maybe it highlights how much work on their image EA have to do (for me) towards Switch owners. FIFA doesn't help. Burnout was a great step forward and hope this carries on.

I don't care about this game, but I will always appreciate a developer delaying a game to get it right on Day 1 as opposed to having to download a Day 1 patch bigger than the game's file itself just to make it decently playable, or even worse, wait for that patch weeks later.

Calling it now, this will be scrapped completely. EA has an agenda against Nintendo, always has, always will....who cares anyway?

Was looking forward to this but not holding my breath anymore.

I'd love them to work on Titanfall 2 next, such an overlooked gem of a game that does FPS RIGHT.

though knowing EA they would charge £50 for it when it's £5-£15 on everything else and gamers would ignore it.

@XO-Frats nobody said it’s scrapped. But yea you should probably move along.

@JokerCK At this point that's the only possible reason
The game's been out for a year and a half I'm not sure how or why the Switch version's taken this long in the first place

so it will run at 25-29 fps

Nice! Anything rushed eventually s*u*c*k*s

Great, the only cross-play version i was actually waiting for now delayed without date...

I was hoping they do a TitanFall 2 port

Was looking forward to it this fall, but I have Apex on PC so I can play it there to scratch that Apex itch for the time being.

@HotGoomba To add to what @MasterJay said, Titanfall 2! Between Apex and Titanfall 2 (I played them on PC) Respawn made some excellent games.

@hadrian @Shiro28 You two aren't the only one hoping for a Titanfall 2 port. I want more people to experience its campaign.

@westman98 @MasterJay I'm glad that Respawn makes quailty games! It's just too bad that they have a contract with the devil. (EA)

@HotGoomba lol ea bad give me reddit gold

Totally forgot about this. I wouldn't be totally surprised if this project ended up being pulled entirely. The market for these type of games is so saturated and even with that it continues to be even more saturated with no clear end in sight. Makes me wonder if they're analyzing the statistics of the playerbase on the current platforms and trying to foresee if releasing on Switch would be worth the resources.

@PickledKong64 isn't reddit that one place for depressed virgins?

File this in the canned Switch games bin along with Bayonetta 3, Metroid 4 and Doom Eternal

@HotGoomba EA is so dame cheap I just hope that the game is really good for them to push it pack next year.

Not rushing anything out? Needs more time? Do justice to the game? Holy crap. That's a first, and it has only been almost 4 YEARS into the console's lifespan.

@Snatcher Well it's being developed by Respawn, an actually GOOD EA-Owned studio, so I do have high hopes.

@Rodan2000
Might as well put Breath of the Wild 2 and New Pokemon Snap in that list if you think "delayed or undated games" = "canned games"...

This games dead.. you might’ve wanted to add this idk.. a year ago?

For those who haven’t played Apex, it’s a really well done battle royal and a ton of fun. Far different vibe and experience than Fortnite.

With Nintendo's absolutely joke online services this game can stay delayed.

I can only imagine how horribly it will run yet alone lag and chug while using the awful Nintendo online service.

Love Nintendo but use some of that money for once to invest in something that is cutting edge.

The come out with all of these cool ideas like the Switch, Mario Kart Live, Labo, HD Rumble etc but can't do something Xbox and PS3 did like 20 years ago.

All i see is cod for switch but with a fortnite styled layout

@SpacedDuck right is so awful yet for some reason im online everyday playing it and it works fine..

It will be "dead" by the time it comes out.

Balls to this get final fantasy online on the switch stupid battle royal games just die.

Does anybody care?

@HotGoomba yes. And they constantly ***** on anything ea without regard that the studios like respawning can make good games

@Maulbert I do

I hope they release a physical. While I don't mind digital, especially free to play, I also like the idea of something like a bloodhound edition physical release.

@KnightsTemplar it's fine on a basic level. Zero party chat support, most games require a cell phone to even use chat, friend codes literally still being a thing.....no way to PM someone on the console lol. It's bad
