Apex Legends likely to come out for mobile devices

Publisher Electronic Arts said during the presentation of its quarterly results that “advanced negotiations” are underway to release Apex Legends both on mobile devices and in China.

Blake Jorgensen, the chief operating officer at Electronic Arts, did not provide further details, such as a release date, in a statement to the quarterly figures. He also did not say anything about the platforms on which the mobile version should be released. The game will probably be released for both Android and iOS, but it may be that one of the operating systems is up first. Once negotiations for a mobile version of Apex Legends are finalized, EA will notify you, Jorgensen said. Incidentally, the publisher has also made the game available in South Korea via Origin.

The commentary highlighted the success of Apex Legends, citing milestones such as the rapidly reached 50 million player count. The popularity of the battle royale game now seems to be less high than in the first few months after its release in February; EA isn’t saying anything about that, but the company did say it’s now strongly focused on providing a “long-term service” for Apex Legends, including new seasons of “more robust” Battle Pass content, new legends, and “exciting evolutions.” ‘ of the in-game environment. Among other things, the content that was introduced with the first Battle Pass was criticized.

EA CEO Andrew Wilson also commented on the poorly received Anthem. He says the game fell short of expectations in the fourth quarter. “But we believe in the BioWare team and we also believe in what they’ve set out to achieve with the game, which is to build a new IP and mix genres to reach new audiences.” He also talks about “the splendor of the world” in Anthem and that “flying around in the Javelin suits makes for great gameplay.” However, Wilson also acknowledges that there is a lot of negative feedback from players and that they want more depth and variety in missions, among other things. Wilson reports that the team behind the game is now focusing on improvements with more content updates and events to follow.

The company posted a net profit of $209 million in the fourth fiscal quarter, up from $607 million a year earlier. Revenue came in at $1.24 billion, compared to $1.58 billion in the same quarter a year earlier. EA says Apex Legends brought in ten times more revenue than expected. Also in the field of digital sales of products and services, which includes the still well-performing FIFA ultimate team, there was again an upward trend. The live services segment in particular grew, but digital sales for PC and other platforms also rose.
