Respawn Entertainment's free-to-play battle royale Apex Legends doesn't always get as much credit in certain corners of the internet, but it's actually generated more than $2 billion in earnings since its arrival in 2019.
With this in mind, Respawn appears to be developing a new solo first-person shooter adventure set in the Apex Legends universe. It's again kind of big news considering the popularity of the battle royale game.
As spotted by Dexerto, a job listing on the Respawn web page for a senior engine/systems designer describes the new game as an "Apex Universe FPS Incubation title". Other roles seemingly list it as a "brand new Respawn single-player adventure". It's worth noting this series is set in the same universe as Titanfall.
Respawn previously mentioned how it was working on a new single-player game, but didn't reveal what it was - so it's unclear at this stage if this is the same project or not. Apex Legends launched earlier this year on mobile platforms and was released on the Nintendo Switch last year in March.

It's a bit strange that what used to be called the Titanfall universe is now called the Apex universe.
Hell yes.. I could definitely get behind this. Loved TitanFall 2 so I'm hoping for something similar.
I mean....that'd be Titanfall 3 then.
@Abeedo I know right? The whole idea of "Apex Legends" comes from the mercenary group, the Apex Predators from the Titanfall universe. Such a shame that franchise always seemed to come out at the worst possible times.
Titanfall 3??? Please!
Just make Titanfall 3 already!
Soooo… Titanfall 3?
It seems that I had the same reaction as everyone else. A single player game in the apex universe would just be titanfall 3.
Wish they’d port the two Titanfall games to the Switch. Part 2 has one of the best single player campaigns in any game.
Yet another FPS? wonderful 🙄
You know if things keep going like this I can genuinely see myself taking up another hobby.
Please be Titanfall 3. Please be Titanfall 3. Please be Titanfall 3. Please be Titanfall 3. Please be Titanfall 3. Please be Titanfall 3. Please be Titanfall 3…
Port the two Titanfall games on the Switch.
Coming shortly after EAs single player tweet fiasco 😂
@JustMonika
It will be similar just missing 40 ft tall mechs and instead add in heaps of teenage angst and humor
@Captain_Toad
Why would anyone waste their time with porting Titanfall 1 to anything? TItanfall 2 I'm on board for but there isn't enough content in 1 for anyone to care
@RubyCarbuncle
So the recent Nintendo Direct chalked full of RPGs didn't help?
If it is Titanfall 3, no multiplayer would be disappointing. But then it could be one heck of a single player campaign, if all focus is put on it.
@RubyCarbuncle
Seems like a lame reason to leave a hobby. Why not just ignore it?
@EightyTwoStu
It won't be, after the financial disaster Titanfall 2 was you are lucky to have Apex Legends
@StarPoint
You and your friends would have to go buy millions of copies at $60 a piece right now to get Titanfall back on EA's list of things to care about
There are individual levels in Titanfall 2 that are all-timers. I don't think it all comes together in the way the best single-player FPS campaigns do, but it's the sort of big-budget, high-concept FPS adventure that we don't get much of these days at all.
@steventonysmith It did but we seem to get more games like this than we do of them. I mean I get people are into this stuff but as a 45 year old who's been gaming since the Atari I'm just reaching burn out from all of this.
@RubyCarbuncle
Please tell me which FPS games we have coming up on the Switch?
I love apex, and people love titianfall, for fans of both, this is an absolute win!
As long as we can play as characters from Apex like Loba, then I'm all for this.
I've been really craving for a futuristic FPS game that's not as ultra-violent as say a Doom game.
Titanfall was great; the sequel was one of the best games of the last generation; if not all time. Amazing campaign and engaging MP.
Apex, however, it’s just a cartoony cash grab pale imitation. Tried so many times but it’s just poor.
Oh cool, Titanfall 3?
You mean like….Titanfall?
I don't think they'd make a single player game unless they have some way of monetising the s*** out of it lol
This won't be Titanfall 3... and this makes me hate Apex in a whole new light.
@RubyCarbuncle You'll give up gaming because one gaming being made doesn't appeal to your specific tastes?? Wow. Just... wow.
That's a weird way to spell "Titan Fall"...
@steventonysmith That sounds like 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim, lol
Half life 3 confirmed!
Did you guys hear? Nintendo is making a new single player game set in the Mario Golf universe!
i need to see how this will play out...it's an interesting idea, never touched the cash grab "free to play" game at all, but i was interested in the characters a bit to the shoot aspect of it..so if they pull this off i will most definitely play it <3
Overreaction here from people. I guess they haven't heard of "figure of speech"
Oh well.
@steventonysmith Overwatch 2 is coming, I believe there's a Robocop game too but I wasn't specifically talking about the Switch. Shooters just aren't for me anymore, I've played them since they became a thing and I've just reached a point of severe burn out, that's all I'm saying. If you like them well go for it.
@RubyCarbuncle
It's not that I love fps, and I can understand burnout but you made it seem like you are giving up gaming all together because only fps games are announced, which isn't true
I can’t wait to get my hands on a singleplayer version of Apex!
Didn't they sneer at the Switch handling Titanfall early on? I'll not hold my breath.
Is it me or did Battle Royale games fall off hard recently? It seems that there is a big shift towards large scale, open-world single player experiences this year. Doesn't help that my appetite for games like this is at an all time high right now and I'd love to check out BOTW 2 as soon as possible!
Tried multiple times and I just couldn’t get into apex.
let's hope it's Titanfall 3 and people don't sleep on it this time like they did the excellent Titanfall 2
Yeah, come back when it's actually confirmed to be Nintendo related news.
@locky-mavo yeah, it’s not even gonna come to Switch or any Nintendo console because of EA.
as long as EA doesn’t find SOME way to muck it up, I’ll be fine, taking into consideration respawn is known to make good single player games
Make it physical with no online requirement and I am willing to try this.
@steventonysmith Haha nah it was just a figure of speech.
