Greetings Legends,

What a day! Today we announced and released Apex Legends, a brand-new IP built by the team here at Respawn Entertainment. With Apex Legends we are expanding the Titanfall universe in new ways, with all new mechanics, gameplay, and stories to tell. If you haven't checked it out yet, Apex Legends is available to download, for free, right now on PC, Playstation 4, and Xbox One.

This is easily the most nerve-wracking, exciting, and humbling day of my career. Having worked alongside this team for almost fifteen years now, it was an honor to be chosen to lead the development of Apex Legends. Over the last two years, the road to making this game has often been bumpy, but everyone on the team has put everything they have into this game. Our goal was to make the most innovative, fun, and genre-evolving battle royale shooter to date, and I believe we achieved just that.

Hey All,

I’m Lee – Lead Product Manager on the Apex Legends Dev Team. I’m a Pathfinder main (high fives anyone?), a Skullpiercer Wingman fanatic, and a lover of boba. I wanted to take a few moments to outline our core values when it comes to player spending within Apex Legends.

There are many different business models for free-to-play games, so we wanted to share the principles that drive our decisions around player spending in Apex Legends over the long-term.

Principle #1: Making one of the most engaging battle royales ever is what fuels us. We want our players to stick around for years, because the game will be continually growing, offering new challenges and paths to mastery. We hope at 1,000 hours in, you and your squaddies are still discovering better ways to tackle familiar situations.

Principle #2: We’re dedicated to supporting this game for years to come. We hope one day we find ourselves working on our 2027 feature roadmap! Ou...
