A number of new job listings have revealed that Respawn Leisure is within the early phases of growth on a brand new singleplayer shooter primarily based on Apex Legends (opens in new tab).
The job listings (opens in new tab) are for positions in one thing known as the Apex Universe FPS Incubation Mission. Particulars are understandably scarce, however a few the listings for artists describe the sport as “a model new Respawn singleplayer journey.”
Respawn has loads happening today and so there’s potential for confusion, however this recreation seems to be unrelated to beforehand revealed initiatives: Together with the Apex Universe FPS Incubation Mission, Respawn can also be in search of folks to affix a separate New Sport Incubation Workforce (opens in new tab), in addition to a Star Wars FPS (opens in new tab) Workforce—which, for the report, is completely different from its Star Wars Jedi: Survivor (opens in new tab) crew.
There’s quite a lot of storytelling potential in Apex Legends, which encompasses a exceptional depth and breadth of characters—greater than you may anticipate from a battle royale with no story mode. However some followers are hoping that the Apex moniker is a little bit of a misdirect: Apex Legends is about within the Respawn’s Titanfall universe, and there is a glimmer of faint, reluctant hope that that is really Titanfall 3, and that Respawn is just making an attempt to keep away from stoking the hype fires too early. Apex can also be a extra instantly recognizable model than Titanfall, though I am undecided how a lot consideration that specific issue can be given to job listings.
After all, some followers observed the slight however vital change in verbiage:
I believe redittor No_Librarian_4016 (opens in new tab) has the very best bead on the scenario at this very early stage. “No you’d have been hyped for a number of months after which extraordinarily indignant when it wasn’t Titanfall 3,” they wrote in response to somebody complaining about the usage of Apex as an alternative of Titanfall. “Don’t fake folks gained’t be mad it doesn’t matter what.”
Phrases to stay by.
