EA has soft launched its Apex Legends Mobile free-to-play battle royale game in 10 countries including Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, Indonesia, Mexico, Peru, Argentina, and Colombia before its official worldwide release in 2022.
The purpose of limited regional launch is to refine gaming experience and improve the quality of in-game systems and features. More information concerning the global launch will be announced after the limited regional launch, so stay tuned!
Apex Legends Mobile is a competitive battle royale where players will take on the role of specific characters with their own unique abilities. The mobile version will have its own unique Battle Pass and cosmetic items that are separate from those found in the PC and console versions. It is hence noted that Apex Legends Mobile will not feature cross-play with the console or PC versions of Apex Legends.
▍Apex Legends Mobile Soft Launch Content
In this limited regional launch, players will be able to play Battle Royale on the classic World’s Edge map. You can also test your mettle in new and returning exciting game modes, Team DeathMatch, Mini Battle Royale, 3v3 Arenas, and compete in Ranked Battle Royale matches.
While player progression will reset after the soft launch concludes, players will be able to complete limited-time challenges and earn limited, unique rewards like badges, weapon charms, and a beta banner frame which can be taken into the worldwide launch.
While 3vs 3 Arenas is a round-based combat game mode which players form as teams to fight and compete to be the first squad to win three rounds. Your load-out can be customized and improved by using Crafting Materials earned to purchase equipment.
However, your equipment can only be used for one round in which you cannot carry them to the next round. Arena permanent bespoke maps Party Crasher, Phase Runner and weekly rotating maps are available.
Apex Legends Mobile also has an in-game store and offer purchasable content. In the Store, you’ll find a variety of options including themed, time-limited Store Vaults, Lite Crates, and Apex Packs. The store also includes options for crafting and the ability to purchase personally-curated cosmetic items in the “For You” tab. You can also purchase a premium Battle Pass through the Battle Pass page or a PremiumPLUS Battle Pass with extra bonus levels, XP, and rewards.
Players who are participating in the limited regional launch can access the store until May 3. Account progress and unlocked items earned during the limited regional launch period will be reset prior to game launch. Any items purchased during this time using in-game currency will be converted to in-game currency of an equivalent value and available in the account when the game launches later this year.
▍Apex Legends Mobile Pre-registration
Players can now pre-register for the game via App Store or Google Play. You will receive an extra 25% bonus in-game currency. Legend Skins earned from the Battle Pass can be used in global launch.
