Apex Legends Mobile to release on May 17th for Android and iOS

The much-awaited mobile version of the popular battle royale Apex Legends has finally got a release date. EA and Respawn have been working on Apex Legends Mobile for years and now, the game is all set to go live on May 17th.

The beta tests for the game began more than a year ago. Since then, Apex Legends Mobile has been released in several regions in its testing phase. On May 17th, the final version will be launched globally on both Android and iOS.

Apex Legends Mobile: What to expect?

Apex Legends recently kicked off season 13. However, the mobile counterpart will begin with its own season 1. Additionally, the mobile version will have some exclusive features, modes, and social tie-ins. And of course, ALM will have different controls that are tailored for mobile.

As EA mentioned earlier, Apex Legends Mobile will have exclusive passes and events. Along with this, the mobile game will feature mobile-only maps and modes in the future. The devs also made it clear that cross-play won’t be available.

So far, EA has not commented much about the in-game content. But since this is a mobile version, we can expect fewer legends and maps to begin with.

EA and Respawn are yet to announce details like characters, maps, modes, and more. With the launch only a few days away, the devs might reveal these in the coming days.

Apex Legends Mobile will be free to download and play. Pre-registration for the game has been available for a long time. Both Android and iOS users can head over to stores and hit the “pre-register” button. You will be notified when the game releases and get some rewards.
