Respawn & EA \u201cworking very closely\u201d to build Apex Legends Mobile esports Respawn EntertainmentWith the release of Apex Legends Mobile, EA and Respawn Entertainment are looking into the best ways of growing the esports side of the new port. Competitive Apex Legends has been growing globally. EA has been liking the viewership that the battle royale has been pulling in, despite the complications that the scene has been going through in the global health situation. As such, EA SVP and General Manager of Competitive Gaming, Todd Sitrin, told Esports Observer that there \u201cabsolutely\u201d are plans to continue growing the competitive side of Apex. But the gaming giant has plans for both the Apex Legends scene we already know and an emerging one that could revolve around Apex Mobile. While Apex has an enormous global playerbase, Sitrin wants to capitalize on mobile esports\u2019 potential as far as their battle royale is concerned. \u201cOur organization is a big believer in mobile esports,\u201d Sitrin said. \u201cWe\u2019ve been waiting for the right property and the right community that wants to embrace it. We think there are two big opportunities: one is around Apex Mobile and the other is around FIFA mobile.\u201d While the EA SVP admitted there\u2019s more potential for mobile gaming in the Asia market, he has \u201cRespawn and our team working very closely together. So obviously we\u2019ve been in discussions around that for quite some time.\u201d This comes on the heels of Respawn adding in the 3v3 Arenas mode that emphasizes a tightly packed competitive experience. \u201cWe\u2019re committed on Apex Legends to have much more consistent competitive programming and have been implementing player and fan feedback and adding new content such as Arenas mode,\u201d he said. Sitrin said that EA is \u201cvery bullish\u201d on growing the Apex Legends esports scene considering how much success they had before global closures. From the sound of it, fans of competitive Apex are going to be getting a lot more programming in the near future as the companies figure out new solutions for its esport as well as Apex Mobile.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
