by Apex Legends developer Respawn Entertainment recently announced that the highly anticipated mobile version of the hero shooter would launch sometime in May, but didn’t specify exactly when. But today the release date was officially announced: Apex Legends Mobile will launch on May 17.
reappear tweeted the announcement along with a trailer for the mobile version of the game. Although the trailer doesn’t show any actual gameplay, it does add some interesting story and hints at a new legend joining the roster of playable characters in Apex Mobile. This isn’t much of a surprise, as Respawn has previously stated that there will be mobile-exclusive content including maps, modes, events, and even legends. If this new character debuts next week alongside Apex Legends Mobile: Season 1, it would be the first time Respawn has introduced two Legends in such a short amount of time.
