According to reports, Ubisoft is developing a battle royale game similar to Apex Legends from Respawn Entertainment.
As Battle Royale games rise in popularity, Ubisoft wants a piece of the pie. While the likes of PUBG and Fortnite have regional player bases across the globe, Apex has a cult following admired by players from all over the world.
According to an April 16 article by Tom Henderson, Ubisoft is developing a new battle royale game that is “heavily inspired” by Apex and is presently being developed under the code name “Scout.”
As the report states, this game will be a business endeavour to capitalise on the players leaving Apex Legends due to the plethora of issues surrounding the game. As Apex continues to lose players in other games, Ubisoft looks at it as an opportunity to bring them to their new game.
While nothing about the game has been revealed at the time of writing. Ubisoft will likely drop a teaser in the coming days, which will be the first official reveal from the developers. Only time can tell if it will be as popular as Apex Legends, but hopes are high.
