Apex Legends Shockwave season adds unlimited revivals, dual-wielding, and a versus bots mode August 6
The next season for Apex Legends – you know, the battle royale shooter that wanted to double-charge players for battle passes until fans furiously pushed back – is hoping that the gameplay features of its upcoming Shockwave season will be enough of a distraction from that kerfuffle, particularly as the FPS is bringing several updates […]

Apex Legends: Shockwave Arrives August 6 – With New Map E-District, Automatic Respawns, Loot Refreshes and More
Summary
- New map: E-District brings vibrant cyberpunk flair and densely populated points of interest to encourage movement and close-range fights
- Akimbo is coming! Legends can dual-wield the P2020 and Mozambique weapons
- Gameplay changes include new Revival system, new gold and mythic bins, tweaks to ammo and magazine stack sizes and more
Season 22 of Apex Legends is almost here, and promises a ‘shocking’ shake-up to the high-octane battle royale. Numerous tweaks to gameplay are coming across all modes, and updates to playable Legends and more await on the horizon. But first, let’s get a look at the sixth map coming to Apex Legends in Shockwave: E-District.
During a recent Shockwave preview event, Apex Legends World Director Ed Agostini described E-District as an “urban playground that’s a culmination of five years of learning,” and shared that it’s the most densely populated map to date. The design of E-District places emphasis on freedom of movement, packed with multi-layered architecture, and the introduction of new Gravity Cannons, which can launch Legends high up into the air or across large distances.
Lots of points of interest are designed with close quarters combat in mind, including the tight, winding alleys of Street Market, the ultra-vibrant Neon Square, inspired by Shibuya Center in Tokyo, and the Neon Oval Raceway, an old racetrack converted into makeshift residential spots perfect for chaotic indoor shootouts. The entire map is coated in gorgeous post-Cyberpunk inspiration, and it’ll be in heavy rotation for the first split of the season so players can explore it fully.
New Revival Feature and Battle Sense Rollout
Josh Mohan, Associate Design Director on Apex Legends, shares Respawn has also been assessing changes that will benefit newcomers and more casual players to foster an environment where everyone can learn and have fun regardless of their skill level. One major change promising to change-up the meta is the Revival feature, which provides another way for defeated players to get back into the match with ease.
When a player is eliminated, a respawn timer will kick in, and when the timer hits zero, that teammate will automatically respawn near their surviving teammates without the need for a Respawn Beacon. Surviving squad mates can even speed up the return of their fallen Legends by getting knocks and kills for an even faster return to the fray.
Mohan shares that the addition of Revival is to “shake-up the core combat loop of Apex,” and create more opportunities for players to get into and stay in the action. It also encourages more players to take risks which results in more fun, dynamic situations during matches.
One other change will see the Battle Sense feature, initially created to help players navigate the battlefield in solo mode, roll into the team-based battle royale mode in Shockwave. The benefits of this mode include visibility of enemy health bars, as well as highlighted attackers at close range.
Bin Day
Shockwave will also introduce new ways for Legends to gather up loot during a match. Mid-way through a game, all open loot bins on the map will close back up and reroll fresh loot for passing players. This not only provides new opportunities to stock up or change items, but also takes away environmental clues that a team has looted the area before you, which is interesting.
Two brand new bins will also offer opportunities for Legends to grab those high-end loadouts and attachments. A few gold bins, containing better loot and items (including gold attachments) will randomly appear in the place of regular bins, while one mythic bin somewhere on the map is guaranteed to contain Evo for your shield, a gold weapon, or a mythic weapon found in care package drops. Be mindful though, every team can see the location of the mythic bin, which is sure to cause some squabbles over the coveted items inside.
Guns Akimbo
If like me you’re into dual-wielding, you’re going to feel right at home with Shockwave’s new Akimbo update, which allows Legends to carry and fire two P2020 pistols or Mozambique shotguns in combat.
However, wielding two guns won’t mean endless looting to kit them out – the second gun is essentially a mirror of the one in your equipment, including all of its attachments. While in Akimbo, both guns are also fully automatic with improved hip fire for ease in those scrappy close-up fights.
Light Machine Guns are also receiving a little love this season with the Gun Shield Generator hop-up, which gives you a small shield in your sights. It won’t save you from those aggressive flanks, but will absorb precious damage if you’re being attacked head-on.
Battle Pass and New Cosmetics
Of course, every season comes equipped with a new Battle Pass full of treats – new Legendary skins for Legends and weapons, as well as Exotic Shards, but Shockwave is making it a little more attainable for players. Battle Passes are now shorter, and you’ll get two throughout Shockwave’s duration – one at the start of the season on August 6 and another at the seasonal split. You’ll also be able to unlock the premium Battle Pass for free, just by completing in-game challenges – so save up those Apex Coins!
All of this and more is heading to Apex Legends: Shockwave, launching on August 6. Hop in for free on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One. For more updates on Shockwave’s new content, head to the official Apex Legends website.

22. sezóna hry Apex Legends obnoví možnost nákupu Battle Passů za Apex mince
Společnosti Respawn Entertainment a Electronic Arts ustupují od některých kontroverzních změn, které oznámily v souvislosti s tím, jak budou v budoucnu fungovat battle passy ve free-to-play battle royale střílečce Apex Legend. Již dříve bylo oznámeno, že počínaje nadcházející 22. sezónou začne Apex Legends nabízet dva battle passy na sezónu, přičemž každý z nich bude nabízet 60 úrovní odměn, namísto jednoho se 110 úrovněmi.

22. sezóna hry Apex Legends obnoví možnost nákupu Battle Passů za Apex mince
Společnosti Respawn Entertainment a Electronic Arts ustupují od některých kontroverzních změn, které oznámily v souvislosti s tím, jak budou v budoucnu fungovat battle passy ve free-to-play battle royale střílečce Apex Legend.
Již dříve bylo oznámeno, že počínaje nadcházející 22. sezónou začne Apex Legends nabízet dva battle passy na sezónu, přičemž každý z nich bude nabízet 60 úrovní odměn, namísto jednoho se 110 úrovněmi. Kromě toho však bylo také oznámeno, že hráči si již nebudou moci zakoupit battle passy pomocí herní měny známé jako mince Apex, což v podstatě znamená, že jediným způsobem, jak získat přístup k prémiovému battle passu, bude jeho zakoupení.
To se setkalo s rozsáhlým odporem, na který vydavatel EA a vývojářské studio Respawn reagovali tím, že od plánované změny ustoupili.
„Mluvili jste a my jsme vám naslouchali,“ stojí v prohlášení zveřejněném na Twitteru. „S vydáním 22. sezóny obnovíme možnost získat Premium Battle Pass za 950 Apex mincí. Uznáváme, že jsme se se změnami Battle Passu mohli vypořádat lépe – je to naše vina.“
Až 6. srpna odstartuje 22. sezóna, budou mít hráči možnost získat první battle pass pro tuto sezónu „splněním řady jednoduchých herních úkolů“. Mezitím, až bude 17. září spuštěn druhý battle pass, budou si jej hráči moci rovněž zakoupit za 950 mincí Apex a budou si jeho prostřednictvím moci vydělat dostatek Apex mincí, aby si mohli dovolit další battle passy.
Společnost Respawn také ujišťuje hráče, že do budoucna bude klást větší důraz na jasnější a důslednější komunikaci, přičemž zdraví a stabilita hry jsou jejími hlavními prioritami.
„Uvědomujeme si, že do budoucna musíme být v komunikaci s vámi časově přímočařejší, transparentnější a důslednější,“ uvádí vývojář. „Vaše priority jsou i našimi prioritami: cheateři, stabilita hry a aktualizace kvality života jsou na prvním místě. Musíme se zlepšit, a proto je zde uznáváme.“
Podrobnosti o několika opravách souvisejících s výše uvedenými problémy se objeví, až bude 6. srpna spuštěna 22. sezóna, přičemž poznámky k záplatám s podrobnostmi o tomtéž se objeví den předtím.
Hra Apex Legends je k dispozici pro PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch a PC.

Apex Legends má za sebou těžký týden
Společnost Respawn mění battle pass a vyžaduje, aby byl zakoupen pouze za skutečné peníze. Zdá se, že Apex Legends si nemůže vydechnout. Hru v posledních týdnech trápí několik závažných problémů. Nejprve začátkem minulého týdne vývojář střílečky, společnost Respawn Entertainment, oznámil, že přepracovává battle pass. Pro 22. sezónu a další sezóny bude nyní battle pass rozdělen na dvě poloviny, přičemž každá z nich bude mít 60 úrovní. Hráči si navíc již nebudou moci zakoupit battle pass za herní

Společnost Respawn mění battle pass a vyžaduje, aby byl zakoupen pouze za skutečné peníze.
Zdá se, že Apex Legends si nemůže vydechnout. Hru v posledních týdnech trápí několik závažných problémů.
Nejprve začátkem minulého týdne vývojář střílečky, společnost Respawn Entertainment, oznámil, že přepracovává battle pass. Pro 22. sezónu a další sezóny bude nyní battle pass rozdělen na dvě poloviny, přičemž každá z nich bude mít 60 úrovní. Hráči si navíc již nebudou moci zakoupit battle pass za herní měnu AC nebo Apex. „Rozhodnutí přejít z AC na měnu reálného světa jsme neudělali lehce, ale umožňuje nám to snížit cenu Premium+ pro naši komunitu,“ stojí v oznámení.
https://twitter.com/PlayApex/status/1810330029265420515?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1810330029265420515%7Ctwgr%5Eb9688674d38e2ae468f6a87cb0d89bf26c1925b0%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theverge.com%2F2024%2F7%2F12%2F24197221%2Fapex-legends-battle-pass-incorrect-esports-payments
Hráči na změny reagovali negativně a obvinili společnost Respawn a vydavatele EA, že své zákazníky okrádají o peníze. Společnost Respawn tvrdí, že nový systém je způsob, jak „zvýšit hodnotu“ pro hráče. Zrušení možnosti platit za battle pass měnou získanou ve hře (dříve mohli hráči dokončením postupu v battle passu získat dostatek mincí na zakoupení dalšího, aniž by museli utrácet další skutečné peníze) však mnozí považují za způsob, jakým studio vyždímalo více peněz z klesající hráčské základny. Odpor se rozvinul do té míry, že hráči začali hru na Steamu recenzovat, čímž se její dřívější, převážně pozitivní hodnocení snížilo na převážně negativní.
Na straně esportů utrpěla hra Apex Legends další trapas, protože hráči účastnící se turnaje Apex Legends Global Series nahlásili nesprávné platby na své účty. Jeden z hráčů obdržel na svůj účet 100 000 dolarů již po několika dnech hraní. Další hráči hlásili podobné chybné plateb a to jako buď příliš mnoho, nebo příliš málo. Organizátor turnaje, společnost ESL Faceit, převzal odpovědnost a označil ji za „systémovou chybu“, která vedla k nesprávným platbám. V prohlášení pro server Polygon mluvčí turnaje napsal: „Jako partner zodpovědný za plnění výher pracujeme na rychlém vyřešení tohoto problému a zajištění toho, aby všichni hráči obdrželi správné výplaty cen.„

Titanfall and Apex Legends studio seeks new senior director with "multiplayer FPS experience"
Apex Legends developer Respawn is recruiting a design director with "multiplayer FPS experience" to join its incubation game team.While there are no clues about whether the position will contribute to a new franchise or an existing one, the fact Respawn is applying its first-person shooter chops to an unannounced game is welcomed news for many shooter fans, particularly as the studio's Star Wars project - reported to be a Mandalorian game - was cancelled amidst EA's recent cull of 670 employees

While there are no clues about whether the position will contribute to a new franchise or an existing one, the fact Respawn is applying its first-person shooter chops to an unannounced game is welcomed news for many shooter fans, particularly as the studio's Star Wars project - reported to be a Mandalorian game - was cancelled amidst EA's recent cull of 670 employees.
Whatever the project is, don't expect a gameplay trailer any time soon, though. The position is described as "a rare leadership opportunity to drive the game design on a new incubation project in the early stages" – pre-production, in other words – which suggests we're a long way off getting concrete details yet.

Apex Legends brings back Solos for Season 21
Apex Legends: Upheaval releases on Tuesday 7th May, 2024 and is the 21st season of the ever-evolving battle royale. Alongside the arrival of the first villainous Legend to hit the games since Revenant in 2020, there are plenty of new and returning additions that promise to turn this season on its head including a revamped Broken Moon and Solos mode returning for a limited run.
First things first, let's talk about the big addition - a Legend called Alter joining the Apex games at the launch of Upheaval. Alter is a dimensional traveller of the Skirmisher class and the first villain we've seen in a long time. Alter is from another dimension, though which one she's from is a mystery for now (she's not a reliable narrator). If she tells you something, chances are it's been altered to suit her needs at that very moment - though there are a few shreds of truth in some things that come out of her mouth if you pay close attention.
Alter's Passive ability 'Gift from the Rift' lets you see deathboxes through walls and take a single item from them. Her Tactical is 'Void Passage' which allows you to make bridging portals through surfaces that your squad can also use. Finally, her Ultimate is 'Void Nexus' where Alter puts a device down that allows you and your team to phase back to that point while the device is still active. Be wary of this one, enemies can also make use of it too.

Apex Legends brings back Solos for Season 21
Apex Legends: Upheaval releases on Tuesday 7th May, 2024 and is the 21st season of the ever-evolving battle royale. Alongside the arrival of the first villainous Legend to hit the games since Revenant in 2020, there are plenty of new and returning additions that promise to turn this season on its head including a revamped Broken Moon and Solos mode returning for a limited run.
First things first, let's talk about the big addition - a Legend called Alter joining the Apex games at the launch of Upheaval. Alter is a dimensional traveller of the Skirmisher class and the first villain we've seen in a long time. Alter is from another dimension, though which one she's from is a mystery for now (she's not a reliable narrator). If she tells you something, chances are it's been altered to suit her needs at that very moment - though there are a few shreds of truth in some things that come out of her mouth if you pay close attention.
Alter's Passive ability 'Gift from the Rift' lets you see deathboxes through walls and take a single item from them. Her Tactical is 'Void Passage' which allows you to make bridging portals through surfaces that your squad can also use. Finally, her Ultimate is 'Void Nexus' where Alter puts a device down that allows you and your team to phase back to that point while the device is still active. Be wary of this one, enemies can also make use of it too.

Alter enters Apex Legends with new season launching May 7
Things are about to get seriously chaotic in the newest season of Apex Legends.

Things are about to get seriously chaotic in the newest season of Apex Legends. Starting May 7 Upheaval lives up to its name with plenty of new content and changes that’ll keep even the most seasoned Legends on their toes. Ready to find out what’s coming soon to the Apex Games? Just keep reading.
Embrace chaos
“Life’s just a game and lucky you, you’re playing it with me.”
Things are really heating up this season, and new Legend Alter is striking the match. There’s very little known about this new Void tech user except that calamity seems to follow in her wake. Is she the cause or simply in the wrong place at the wrong time? No one can say. But she does seem to take real joy in watching catastrophes unfold, and reveling in what chaos brings out in those around her. While her morality may be in question, her abilities definitely aren’t:
Gift from the Rift – Can remotely interact with a deathbox to claim one item. Cannot be armor.
Void Passage – Creates a portal passageway through a surface.
Void Nexus – Create a regroup point that all allies can remotely interact with to open a phase tunnel back to that location.
What brings the mysterious Alter to the Apex Games? No one can really say. But one thing’s for sure, when she’s around life is never boring.
Stand alone in Solos
Duos is out as Solos Takeover makes its much-anticipated return at the beginning of the season. This fan-favorite is back with enough new mechanics to keep things very interesting. It’s every Legend for themselves, which means no one will be watching your back – so you’ll need to rely on your Battle Sense to detect nearby enemies. Pre-kitted weapons and attachments will help you stay one step ahead of the competition, while Second Chance auto-heal will keep you in fighting shape long enough to come out on top. Drop into Solos Takeover starting May 7.
Broken Moon shatters
A lunar nightmare becomes reality as Olympus appears to crash into Cleo’s Stasis Array Node, reshaping the battlefield with new POIs and a streamlined map (including new rotations and revamped zip rails ripe for spreading havoc). Debris from the crash as well as meteor strikes and what some are calling unknown biological material have led to a lockdown and quarantine in what was the Promenade. Welcome instead to the Quarantine Zone.
If you’re looking for intense close-quarters action and fast-paced looting, this is where you’ll find it.
Breaker Wharf has shifted to where the Backup Atmostation was originally, and that’s not the only change you’ll have to look forward to. Raining debris has changed up the topography as well as playstyle options – upping the pandemonium potential. Space Port’s move should provide some choice loot opportunities, while Cliff Side offers up an interesting layout primed for intense tug-of-war battles between the high and low grounds. The new Lunar buildings of Solar Pods should keep things moving as well as offer up new combat experiences.
Need a moment to catch your breath? Underpass should give your team the breathing space you need to get back in the game. And Experimental Labs is a great spot for anyone looking for a little high-risk, high-reward action. Finally, new rotations round out the fun offering you a variety of opportunities to make life a little more difficult for opposing squads.
Chaos is coming
There’s even more on the way during Apex Legends: Upheaval, including the opportunity to slice in style with customizable Apex Artifacts, leaving your unique signature of destruction. Then corrupt your style with the Upheaval Battle Pass, unlocking 100+ rewards including Exotic Shards.
It’s a new world, Legend – get ready to disturb the peace.

21. sezóna Apex Legends: Upheaval začíná 6. května, nový trailer představuje Altera
Společnost Respawn Entertainment zveřejnila nový herní trailer na další sezónu hry Apex Legends, Upheaval, která začíná 6. května. Přidává na soupisku novou legendu Skirmisher s Alterem a provádí několik změn ve hře Broken Moon. Alterova taktická schopnost Void Passage spočívá ve vytvoření portálu, kterým pronikne skrz stropy, zdi a další povrchy, a může také skrz zdi prohlížet schránky zabitých nepřátel a vzít si z nich předmět.

Alterova taktická schopnost Void Passage spočívá ve vytvoření portálu, kterým pronikne skrz stropy, zdi a další povrchy, a může také skrz zdi prohlížet schránky zabitých nepřátel a vzít si z nich předmět. Její ultimátní schopnost Void Nexus nasadí translokátor, do kterého se její tým může kdykoli teleportovat (což platí i v případě, že byl sestřelen).
Nexus Relay, který jí zbyl z jejího ultimáta, může použít kdokoli, což platí i pro portál Void Passage, takže pozor. Mezi další nový obsah této sezóny patří návrat Solosu v podobě šestitýdenního převzetí, doplněného o respawn žetony a předem vylepšené zbraně.
Co se týče Broken Moonu, ten se výrazně změnil kvůli tomu, že do něj narazil Olympus, odstranil Promenádu a zároveň přidal nové zipové dráhy a Ferrofluid. Pro další podrobnosti zamiřte sem, protože Apex Legends: Upheaval bude brzy spuštěn pro všechny hráče.

Hello! Welcome back to our regular feature where we write a little bit about some of the games we've been playing over the past few days. This week we've gone with a bit of a theme: matchmaking. We've pulled on some of our most memorable matchmaking experiences from games we loved. Can you remember any of yours?
If you fancy catching up on some of the older editions of What We've Been Playing, here's our archive.
RuneScape is a game with a lot of grinding and, in many cases, this means a lot of standing around. Be it Woodcutting or Fishing, you'll find yourself fixed to one location where the only movement is between skill-spots or when it's time for a bank run to deposit your goods. (Unless you're a litterbug who just dumps everything on the ground.) Due to this I, and many other RuneScape players, have partaken in the long standing tradition of chatting away as your XP slowly climbs to the next level.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, the acclaimed lightsaber twiddling action-adventure sequel from Respawn Entertainment, has been quietly added to EA's EA Play subscription service - but seemingly only for PlayStation at present.
Sharp-eyed PlayStation Store users made the discovery earlier today, after Star Wars Jedi: Survivor's store listing was updated with a note reading, "Included with EA Play" - alongside an option to subscribe to the service rather than buy the game outright.
Since then, the same notice has been spotted on PlayStation Store listings across multiple territories, including the UK, with subscribers reporting success in downloading and playing. At present, however, there's no sign of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor on EA Play for PC or Xbox, and it's yet to be added to the catalogue page on EA's website. The publisher hasn't made any formal announcement regarding its inclusion either.

Apex Legends developer Respawn has told fans it will not change the game to block certain characters and cosmetics from being played during the Esports World Cup in Saudi Arabia this summer, despite concerns over how the country might censor the battle royale's diverse character roster.
Earlier this month, the Esports World Cup social media feed announced that Apex Legends had "[entered] the arena", stating only the "best will compete for fame, fortune, and glory" at the Riyadh-based tournament.
This revelation was immediately met with ire from the Apex Legends community. Fans pointed to the contradiction of a country notorious for its poor LGBTQ+ rights hosting a tournament featuring Respawn's inclusive battle royale, which includes many playable LGBTQ+ characters, as well as Pride cosmetics.

Společnost Electronic Arts se připojila ke stále rostoucímu seznamu společností, které jsou postiženy propouštěním, a oznámila snížení počtu zaměstnanců o 5 %, přičemž se také vyjasňuje, jaké důsledky to bude mít na jednotlivé projekty a studia v rámci společnosti.
Nedávné zprávy tvrdily, že studio vyvíjí hru Mandalorian, ale EA nyní potvrdilo, že vývoj projektu byl ukončen.
V prohlášení, které zveřejnila prezidentka společnosti EA pro zábavu a technologie Laura Miele, bylo oznámeno, že restrukturalizační plány EA se dotknou i studia Respawn Entertainment. Konkrétně se jedná o zrušení FPS hry Star Wars pro jednoho hráče, na které mělo studio podle potvrzení pracovat v roce 2022. Místo toho se podle EA studio znovu zaměří na sérii Star Wars Jedi a Apex Legends.
„Jedinečná schopnost studia Respawn navázat kontakt s hráči a vytvářet výjimečné herní zážitky nemá v oblasti zábavy konkurenci,“ napsala Mieleová ve svém prohlášení. „Když jsme se v posledních měsících podívali na portfolio společnosti Respawn, je jasné, že naši hráči jsou nejvíce nadšeni z her Jedi a bohaté knihovny vlastněných značek Respawn. S tímto vědomím jsme se rozhodli odklonit se od počátečního vývoje akční FPS hry Star Wars a zaměřit své úsilí na nové projekty založené na našich vlastněných značkách a zároveň poskytnout podporu stávajícím hrám. Vždy je těžké odejít od projektu a toto rozhodnutí není odrazem talentu týmu, jeho houževnatosti nebo vášně, kterou pro hru má. Poskytnout fanouškům další díly kultovních sérií, které chtějí, je definicí příběhového trháku a správným místem, kam se zaměřit.“
Z pracovních nabídek zveřejněných společností Respawn vyplynulo, že její FPS Star Wars pro jednoho hráče bude inspirována tituly Star Wars: Dark Forces. Novější zpráva tvrdila, že hráči budou hrát za mandalorianské lovce odměn.
Pokud jde o Star Wars Jedi, Cameron Monaghan – herec, který ztvárňuje hlavního hrdinu série Cala Kestise – loni v září potvrdil, že se pracuje na třetím dílu, ačkoli jej EA dosud oficiálně neoznámila. Star Wars Jedi: Stig Asmussen, režisér her Fallen Order a Survivor, loni opustil společnost Respawn.
Uprostřed propouštění v EA byla zcela uzavřena společnost Ridgeline Games, která byla založena v roce 2021 a pracovala na kampaních pro jednoho hráče v Battlefieldu.

Několik hodin poté, co Respawn oznámil, že pracuje na hře pro jednoho hráče z prostředí Hvězdných válek, kterou si spousta lidí už nějakou dobu přeje, Tom Henderson potvrdil, že se jedná o hru z pohledu první osoby Mandalorian, v níž se hráči ujmou role mandalorianského lovce odměn v době, kdy galaxii ještě vládlo Impérium.
Díky jetpacku budou moci hráči být ve velmi rychlém tempu, které je následně odmění. Například zdraví se bude obnovovat na základě postupných zabití. Mezi zbraně a bojové nástroje bude patřit zápěstní raketa, grapple hook, hledí pro označování lovených cílů a nepřátel a další. Nakonec bude hra obsahovat sbírku lineárních úrovní zasazených na různé planety ve vesmíru Star Wars.
Co se týče termínu vydání hry, Tom Henderson pouze zmínil, že hra vyjde minimálně za rok nebo dva, takže možná ještě nějakou dobu potrvá, než budeme moci zjistit, zda se Respawnu podaří ve své hře zachytit ducha mandalorianských lovců odměn.
Zatímco Respawn Entertainment pracuje na svém projektu Star Wars, který vyjde v příštích letech, fanoušci této série se stále mají na co těšit, protože ještě letos vyjde hra Star Wars Outlaws od Ubisoft Massive, hra s otevřeným světem zasazená do období mezi Impérium vrací úder a Návrat Jediho, kde budou hráči sledovat Kay Vess, která se stane nejhledanějším zločincem galaxie.

Apex Legends studio making Star Wars Mandalorian game - report
One of the three upcoming Star Wars games in development at Apex Legends and Titanfall studio Respawn is reportedly a bounty hunter game where you play as a Mandalorian. That's according to Insider Gaming, which said the project was still in the early stages of development, but was a first-person shooter starring a Mandalorian bounty hunter during the time of the Galactic Empire. The report stops short of confirming the Mandalorian bounty hunter as Din Djarin, star of Disney+ hit TV series

The report stops short of confirming the Mandalorian bounty hunter as Din Djarin, star of Disney+ hit TV series and upcoming Mandalorian movie. A time period set during the height of the Galactic Empire would also place the game prior to the TV series - making a Baby Yoda appearance unlikely.
