Way back in October, we announced that Apex Legends, the super-popular battle royale game, had delayed its Switch release. A few weeks ago, there was an accidental "reveal" of the release date - and that date is today, February 2nd.
There have been other hints that the game is almost ready, too: an Apex poster for Switch appeared in Japan, the Apex Legends director, Chad Grenier, said there would be news about the game today, and, most recently, a new PowerA controller appeared on Amazon with Apex Legends branding.
Apex's Season 8 launched today, so it would make sense for the game to come out on Switch simultaneously, but there's still not been any news. Not even a tease! Of course, the day isn't over yet (and we'll probably be forced to eat our hats when we have to write an "Apex is out now!" post in ten minutes), but we can't be the only ones wondering what's happening over at Respawn.
Will you be grabbing Apex when it's finally announced? Have you been waiting for the Switch release, or have you been playing on other platforms as well? Let us know in the comments.

Well....there's our big news for the week @hobbitgamer @bimmy-lee
Only the right way to do it for Nintendo gamers. This is an EA franchise right?
As one of the few BR games I like, I'm definitely going to grab Apex as soon as it's announced. Been playing this occasionally on PC, really like the teamwork aspect, and won a few games because of it.
Controller is cool, but I think I'll stick to my pro controller for this one.
It's not Feb 3rd yet. Give them chance. Switch will get it's own information (it's not competing with the other 2 guys remember!)
I have been playing this game for three days I can't stop playing I'm on level 30,
Can't wait!
Where's Steep btw? And metroid prime 4?
it's gonna be released on March 9th y'all.
Apex Legends will launch on Nintendo Switch on March 9.
Nintendo Switch players will receive 30 free levels on the Season 8 Battle Pass, to help catch up on the new Season.
So is this really the news they teased yesterday?
@JokerCK nice.

This means its a good port.

@atomicjuicer Steep was cancelled ages ago. They couldn't get their always online and mtx store stuff working properly so they scrapped it.
Prime 4 will be another few years yet. It just started completely from scratch not too long ago.
@NintendoByNature - Yep, just in time too, this one barely made the cutoff time when nothing else can happen this week. Think we’ll get some site maintenance or a Direct?
@bimmy-lee what a loaded question. Does a cow moo? I've got my money on multiple skus going up on Amazon next week for an early to late 2021 direct. This controller just sums it up for me. It's. Happening.
