Then again, Battlefield 2042 was so bad that maybe this is a good thing.Īll is not lost, however. Wilson said this "didn't translate quite as well to mobile devices as we had hoped." Wilson also revealed Apex struggled to "retain the more casual user at the rate that we needed it to," stating that the liquidity of the player base was really important to the experience.Īs a result, EA is also sadly pulling the plug on the development of its mobile Battlefield title, which I would have been much more interested in. I'd personally argue that twitch shooters are not enjoyable on the touch screen, but EA seems focused on the former: "There is a level of immersion and complexity to Apex gameplay in particular which is very much what Apex is about - verticality of gameplay and team-based play," CEO Andrew Wilson told listeners on EA's earnings call this week. The problem is that console games don't often translate well to mobile, especially given that Apex relies on high-octane teamwork and coordination perhaps not suited to the far more casual mobile space. Yet EA seems to believe it has learned a very important lesson about gaming on mobile, notably that it is quite different from a console. I think it's really sad that a studio-dev combo the size of Respawn and EA can't sustain a mobile game for more than one year on a platform as big as iOS.
