12s when Battle Royale started to blow up we
14s recognized that this was a opportunities
17s is a new genre and it's a chance to
19s define that space we play games just
21s like everybody else and so we were like
23s if we're gonna do battle royale like
24s we're really gonna do it right we tried
26s our version of it right off the bat it
28s was an Talisa magic there to be a part
30s of a team that has their own personal
32s story to tell is absolutely amazing
41s everybody's really excited about what is
44s being worked on when it comes to legends
45s the characters would call them legends
46s because we knew very strongly that we
49s didn't want generic soldier characters
51s so many people have ownership with these
53s cares so many people are passionate
55s about these characters that everyone
56s puts everything they have into them
58s everyone digs to make them not a cliche
60s not boring not the thing you've seen
62s before the design team comes up with the
64s gameplay of a character a cool idea and
66s once we get that inspiration we'll dive
68s out until like different ways of why an
70s outside personality could fit that
72s character taking a set of mechanics and
75s turning it into a fully fleshed
76s individual and that's a really amazing
79s process to see it was very important to
81s me that the female characters looked
83s like they belonged in this universe and
85s wraiths in particular embodies a lot of
87s that for me she's mysterious she can get
90s up close and personal she can scare the
92s crap out of you
94s I've got everything you need
97s Squad play with our legends gives you
100s this opportunity to define how you want
103s to play there's lots of meta choices
105s beginning to match about what characters
107s you're gonna choose you're dealing with
108s essentially random people on the
110s Internet in any given fight you may
112s never see those people again but you
113s will see the characters again I can't
115s know who's looking through the eyes of
117s that character but I can fight against
119s my knowledge of the character
120s what have this legend that I've been
121s playing a lot lately they have a very
123s interesting tracking system which allows
124s you to hunt down opponents by seeing
126s their recent actions for the previous 60
128s seconds and that lets you play a very
130s aggressive play style it's not just that
132s they have a tactical and ultimately
133s passive it's that those abilities and
136s those personnel combine into a fighting
138s unit that focus on the fighting unit is
140s really something we feel like makes this
142s be our guinea we have made something
146s that we think is incredibly fun and
147s special and really lose the genre
149s forward the big surprise is gonna be
151s respawning we couldn't make battle
153s royale that didn't respond it just
154s doesn't make sense we have a smart ping
156s system you get to ping a weapon devotion
159s here I can do that
161s these are things we spent an enormous
163s amount of time and iteration to get just
166s right you want to join the ends today
170s apex Legends takes place after the
173s events of titanfall 2 in a different
175s part of the frontier of space called the
177s Outlands we're really trying to expand
179s the titanfall universe because we've
181s spent now 8 years developing this world
184s and characters we feel like there's a
185s lot more story to tell here free-to-play
191s what I love about it is there's no
192s barrier to entry like you've got a ps4
195s if you've got an Xbox you got a PC
196s there's there's nothing stopping you to
197s go play the game and to go check it out
199s being free-to-play to us is also really
200s important that it doesn't mean pay to
202s win all of these spending in our game is
204s very fair it's for cosmetics or
206s characters only we built the game from
208s the ground up as a live service knowing
210s that it's gonna grow and evolve so the
211s structure at all the systems to support
213s that we're gonna come out with seasons
216s we're gonna be having new legends we're
217s gonna have new weapons we're gonna be
219s balancing the game based on data that
221s we're receiving on the fly from all of
223s your matches we plan on years and years
225s of support get ready for a live show
233s it was very important to us that when we
235s made a battle royale game that we loved
237s it that it was something that we
238s personally wanted to take home and play
240s ourselves every time you play there's a
242s different story that you're gonna have
244s after that match as content creators we
246s want to make positive experiences for
248s players we want to touch their lives in
249s positive ways you can just go down with
251s it play it check it out and it's really
252s exciting for us and I hope you guys
