Well, it turns out that Octavio Silva's parents were CEOs at Silva Pharmaceuticals. This means that he was born into wealth, and could have easily taken the path his parents had and lived a life of wealth and leisure. It seems near-death experiences were more his sp

There are also rumors that a new Splinter Cell game is in development, as well as hints for Watch Dogs 3 . Ubisoft has confirmed that there are no new Assassin's Creed games due to be released in 2019, but they could still promote a 2020 title at

It’s a worthy endeavor, and introducing Solos as a limited time mode is ideal. In order to combat the potential for an all-Pathfinder or all-Wraith meta, Respawn could introduce some character adjustments beyond slight damage- and speed-related nerfs and Weapon Buffslike the ones it introduced at the beginning of Season 2 . Even with adjustments that increase incoming damage by 5% for Wraith, Pathfinder and Lifeline, this minor reduction didn’t appear to affect players’ choices at the competitive le

But it's not just about improving what already works from the battle royale genre since Apex Legends adds many all-new features too. Matches are fast and usually completed in less than 20 minutes. At the beginning of a given match there's a dropship players jump from, like any other battle royale, but in this one players jump together as a squad and one player is designated the "Jumpmaster" to keep them together. Players can manually separate from the pack of course, but it's a smart change to enforce the idea that Apex Legends is a truly a squad-based game. There currently are no solo or duo mo

To be clear, Solos Mode is an excellent solution to the problem of matching with sub-par random teammates when the only option is team play. Often, players find themselves matched with others who are lousy players, poor sports, or just generally to

While players at the non-competitive team level play a variety of characters for different reasons, players vying for a Solos crown while playing as one of the game’s less-popular characters may not stand much of a cha

The voice of Bloodhound was a mystery for a long time and went hand in hand with the Apex Legends community trying to figure out their gender. This was all before Respawn Entertainment officially announced that Bloodhound was non-binary, which only added to the mystery box that was their charac

"On 8/13 we'll be trying out a Solos Mode in Apex for a limited time," Jayfresh_Respawn, whose real name is Jay Frechette, posted on Reddit. "We'll talk more about Solos when it's live and you've had a chance to play it. For now we're going to put it out there and see what happens and what kind of feedback we g

But since the beginning, many fans have been clamoring for a Solos Mode, with arguments ranging from the prevalence of loot-hogging teammates to mere preference . An Apex Legends code snippet showing that Solos and Duos Modes already existed in the game’s architecture added fuel to the debate around the inclusion of a Solo M

It seems easy to imagine, then, that a random lobby would quickly become full of individual players who have all chosen the same one or two characters, knowing that these characters provide unmatched tactical advantages. And, going up against a lobby full of Wraiths and Pathfinders doesn’t seem like a fun prospect for someone playing a character like a Caustic, given that both Wraith’s phase and Pathfinder’s grapple make it easy for them to get away from Caustic's Nox

Little is known about his homeworld outside of a little information about his parents and his upbringing there. As the game continues to grow and evolve, it may be in Respawn Entertainment's best interest to flesh out even more of the wo

Bloodhound, the game’s mysterious gender non-binary tracker being, is arguably one of the most interesting characters in the entire _ Apex _ arena. However, their Tactical Ability is questionable for Solos, and their Ultimate Ability is simply not useful in this m

The game does not however, support cross-play or cross-save in anyway which is one of the lacking features for a game that uses EA servers/accounts across all platforms. Should players unlock cosmetics on one platform, they cannot use them on the other. It's a wasted opportunity that partially holds the game back from truly taking the genre to the next level like Fortnite has in this resp

EA will also be showing off some of their upcoming sports games on its streams, with FIFA 20 and Madden NFL 20 both being part of EA Play. Not every game shown during EA Play will be an upcoming title, as Battlefield V (released in 2018) and The Sims 4 (released in 2014) will both feature streams that will discuss new DLC content for the ga

The second livestream will focus on Apex Legends and the content associated with its Season 2 Battle Pass. Apex Legends has seen a huge drop in its player base , which means that the developers will need to win the audience back with an impressive range of new content for the g
