Is Apex Legends the New Hit in the Gaming Industry?
Is this happening? Is Apex Legends the chosen one?
The Fortnite killer?
This is a complicated question That everyone has tried to dissect,
but the fact we’re even asking it about a game that was announced
and released literally a month ago is significant in its own right.
Fortnite, arguably bigger than any games, has felt secure in its Battle Royale throne for the past year, not just as a popular game, but practically as a lifestyle for many kids especially, the game acting as essentially a new form of social network for the youths. But then here comes Apex Legends to upset the apple cart and suddenly every kid’s favorite Fortnite streamers are going all-Apex, all the time.
But I think it is way, way too soon to rush to judgment about what’s happening here, and far too early to count Epic and Fortnite out the way some are doing, jokingly declaring Fortnite a “dead game” when just a week ago it was throwing a live Marshmello concert for 10 million players at a time.
