Apex Legends dev responds to possibility of team deathmatch mode RespawnApex Legends is just a battle royale for now, but Respawn wants to make it so much more. As leaks have sprung up about a potential Team Deathmatch (TDM) mode, the devs have kept their lips sealed, but are indicating a big expansion soon. While Respawn has worked on keeping Apex Legends fresh with a number of limited-time game modes, all of them center around one thing \u2014 the battle royale genre. The loot pools or the size of squads may change, but the core gameplay remains the same. However, with Apex entering its third year on the market, Respawn are looking at making it so much more. Rumblings of expansion into other FPS genres within Apex Legends have been going for a while now, and in Season 8, there\u2019s more validity now than ever before. Respawn: “”Later this year, we\u2019ll launch new ways to play #ApexLegends that take us beyond battle royale.”” pic.twitter.com\/LTbmY0CHKV \u2014 Apex Legends News (@alphaINTEL) February 2, 2021 Respawn have said they wan to expand beyond battle royale, and leaks have been everywhere. A TDM-style mode has been the first one on players\u2019 lips after data miners discovered smaller \u201carenas\u201d that look perfect for the mode. Now, Respawn is coming out with big hints about Apex\u2019s future. While they haven\u2019t confirmed the exact modes coming out soon \u2014 with developers avoiding saying \u201cTDM\u201d when asked by players \u2014 they are looking to make Apex Legends more than just a battle royale. \u201cWe are always looking at ways to expand the play spaces of our Legends beyond Battle Royale,\u201d developer Brian Vidovic told players on Reddit. \u201cAll I\u2019ll say is that we have a lot of really cool prototypes in the works.\u201d It comes after a number of different game modes, including that TDM-style Arenas one, were leaked ahead of the Season 8 update. That leak contained references to Locked and Loaded, which is coming to Apex Legends as an LTM during the anniversary event. With the pieces coming together, it\u2019s possible that a TDM-style mode could be planned for Season 9. Either way, Apex Legends is about to become a lot more than a battle royale in 2021.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
