For a long while now, the much loved but not massively successful first person shooter Titanfall 2 has been essentially impossible to play online. But, as shared in the Titanfall subreddit, the game has had an update that appears to have fixed the game's multiplayer servers. Up until recently, matchmaking was basically impossible, and server stability was often shaky at best. This recent update has fixed those issues though, alongside adding in new and old game modes, which have been rotated in and out since the update went live. A number of other issues have been changed too, like glitches, out-of-bounds exploits, as well as some changes to the map's geometry. Most notably, though, a number of Nessie plushies, Apex Legend's mascot, that are holding hammers have been spotted across the various parts of the maps that have been tweaked, as spotted by another user on Reddit. Read more Respawn is seemingly teasing an Apex Legends x Titanfall crossoverSep 16, 2023 - The LoadoutOften hailed as one of the best FPS games ever made, Titanfall 2 remains a crowning achievement for Respawn Entertainment. While the beloved shooter retains a loyal fandom, the game itself has long been abandoned by the Apex Legends developer - until now. A surprise update is available to download, alongside some new teases in the latest Apex Legends patch notes. Read the rest of the story...

He spent almost 300 years under the Syndicate’s thumb with the help of Hammond, and all he wanted was to escape it. Suddenly, Revenant experiences a change—he starts to glitch. Everything is out of his control. In the middle of a match, he loses his abilities only to discover they've been replaced with new ones. Someone, somewhere, has launched a new protocol. He finds that he’s able to see enemies low on health, unleash a powerful leap forward, and forge a shroud of shadows around him that blocks incoming damage. But he also knows how to hold a grudge. Revenant’s angry, confused, and now he'll find and get revenge on whoever is messing with him. PASSIVE: Assassin’s Instinct Highlight nearby visible enemies who are low on health. You crouch walk faster and have improved wall climbing. TACTICAL: Shadow Pounce Unleash a powerful pounce forwards. Hold to charge for farther distances.

Apex Legends almost blessed new Revenant with Titanfall 2 movementAug 14, 2023 - The LoadoutApex Legends is one of the best FPS games around for many players, and its movement has always remained a highlight.

Well, except for Revenant right now. Respawn is making Apex Legends' reworked Revenant a freebie to celebreate his resurrection - which is great news if you've wanted him for a while. If not, though, you might feel a little left out. We know that this is one of the best competitive FPS games out there, but not everyone likes Revenant, right? Well, don't worry about that, though; this might not be the only chance to get free characters in Apex Legends to fill out your roster. Read the rest of the story...

Sure, this might be one of the best competitive FPS games out there, but it's also just a bit of a rip-off at times.

Ahead of Apex Legends' Season 18 release date, Respawn Entertainment released some new patch notes that detail Apex Legends Revenant rework and the changes coming to this character. While largely fine, and interesting enough, Respawn Entertainment has opted to change Revenant's class - and it feels like a nerf. Read the rest of the story... RELATED LINKS: Apex Legends Season 18 release date, Revenant Reborn, gameplay Apex Legends' crossprogression update rumors reinforced by EA Help Respawn is making Apex Legends' reworked Revenant a freebie Apex Legends is the First Game to Top Fortnite 10 Days in a Row on TwitchFeb 13, 2019 - GitHypWith a growing list of failed battle royale games that at one point had thriving player bases and viewer numbers, Epic’s Fortnite looked to continue its dominance in 2019 with no real competition in sight… that is, until the creators of Titanfall dropped in last week out of nowhere with Apex Legends. Last year, many believed triple-A military shooters, Call of Duty and Battlefield, could take over the battle royale genre in 2019. But with the hype for both now at an all-time low, EA and Respawn's brilliant marketing strategy, improved BR mechanics, and free-to-play format have resulted in Apex Legends becoming the most successful new game since Fortnite. Activision’s Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 was actually the first game to take attention away from Fortnite for a whole week during the end of 2018; peaking with 508k concurrent viewers on Twitch and holding the #1 position for 8 days in a row. But unlike Black Ops 4, which saw its viewer base decline by 66% in its first week, Apex Legends has kept the interest of top streamers and its viewer base has grown over time -- keeping it in the #1 position on Twitch for a record-breaking 10 days in a row. Yesterday’s first-ever tournament for the game was Apex Legends' biggest day yet with a peak of 670k concurrent viewers during Twitch Rivals where team Kings Canyon’s Ninja, King Richard, and Dizzy took home the W. Compared to the game’s peak viewer count of 486k viewers on its launch day, Apex Legends has since seen viewership rise by 38%; which is a great sign that Apex could have some serious staying power at the top, especially when considering the hype for most new games usually fades away by their second week on Twitch. Player counts for Apex Legends also seem to be aligning once again with viewers' interest on Twitch. Respawn’s CEO, Vince Zampella, announced that the game broke 10 million unique players and 1 million concurrent players just 72 hours after launching. And just 4 days after his first announcement, Zampella also revealed that Apex Legends has already more than doubled that number with 25 million unique players and well over 2 million concurrent players at its peak. Seeing Apex Legends grow so quickly is reminiscent of Fornite’s meteoric rise after Epic shifted their focus to the battle royale genre. Unfortunately, at the moment all we have are official announcements from Respawn regarding the game’s continued growth... So for now, viewership on Twitch is currently our best indicator of the current state of the game, and as long as it keeps increasing at the top of Twitch, it's safe to say that the player counts are too.
