Later on this fall season, Respawn's hit battle royale game Apex Legends will be released on Steam, giving PC players a new way to download and play the game.

Electronic Arts is showing off all three charms ahead of their release in the coming months.
The arrival of Apex Legends Season 5 will also bring a new game expansion called Quests, the first of which has been detailed. Called 'The Broken Ghost,' this Quest will revolve around the new character Loba, a thief who was properly introduced earlier this month.

We're at the point in gaming history when iconic titles are being celebrated with both nostalgia and remastered versions. The newest to join that ranks is Command & Conquer from EA, back when it was still actually called Electronic Arts. Now that the genre-defining franchise is a quarter of a century old, the publisher is giving gamers a chance to relive those good old days, this time with support for modern hardware, including 4K displays.
Bridging the physical and digital worlds has always been a dream for many tech companies, especially when it can create new experiences that, in turn, generate sales or customer engagement. That dream is even bigger for games that want to extend their reach beyond computers and phones. adidas, Google, and EA Sports may have just made that dream come true in an odd yet ingenious way that involves putting a small tracker inside your adidas shoes.
On Friday, Electronic Arts announced that it has postponed some Apex Legends events and cancelled some FIFA 20 events.

After a lot of twists and turns, Respawn has officially announced Apex Legends season 4. Along with that announcement comes to reveal of the game's new character, the vicious robot assassin known as Revenant.

For a number of years - nearly a decade at this point - the only official way to play Tetris on mobile devices has been through one of EA's apps, namely Tetris (otherwise known as Tetris 2011) and Tetris Blitz.

It's already gone as far as removing Tetris and Tetris Blitz from the Google Play Store entirely.

Battle royale game Apex Legends launched in February as a free-to-play alternative to hit Fortnite. The game was a huge success, though its spike in popularity dwindled to a more stable simmer in the following months. In May, EA revealed as part of its quarterly earnings that it would be releasing the game on mobile, though very little information was given at the time. Now the company is back with a time frame.
There are a few things in life that are as consistent as the waxing and waning of the moon and one of them is a yearly dose of an NBA game for EA Sports. Sure, there have been years when the publisher bowed out of a release but that's all in the past, right? Not quite because, apparently, NBA Live 20 isn't coming this season, which is to say it won't be coming at all. Instead, EA is practically promising the heavens and beyond for the still unannounced next-gen consoles.
