Three things Respawn can do to turn Apex Legends into a serious Fortnite rival

There is no denying how successful Apex Legends has been in its very early stages, but it still has a long way to go to even be mentioned with Fortnite Battle Royale.

Released on February 4, Apex Legends has been the talk of the town in the online gaming community, and it’s managed to reach 10 million users in a record breaking amount of time. 

There are several reasons as to why Apex Legends has been so successful in its early stages, such as the fact that it’s free to play on three major platforms, it was announced, revealed, and released all on the same day, and publishers EA have recruited a lot of prominent streamers to play and promote it.

At this point, it’s virtually impossible to gauge for how long this kind of success can be sustained, and whether or not the game will ever become a true rival of Fortnite.

While no method is guaranteed, there are three steps that Respawn Entertainment can take to lengthen this spell of success and try and turn Apex into a serious threat to Fortnite’s monopoly over the battle royale community. 

Respawn can emulate this strategy by constantly updating both content and gameplay, meaning they should always be looking to add, remove, and/or change items, weapons, and mechanics to always keep the player-base on the edge of their seat.
