While many gamers might be focused on Season 12 of Apex Legends, it is far from the only news regarding the franchise. Recently, a mobile version of the popular battle royale has started rolling out to various regions around the globe. Currently, it is available in 10 countries, such as New Zealand and Argentina, with more expected to be added shortly. Despite sharing many similarities with the PC and console versions of the game, there are some significant differences with Apex Legends Mobile that many fans have noticed.
Among the differences seen in the mobile version of the battle royale, fans have learned of a number of unique cosmetics available exclusively through the Apex Legends Mobile Battle Pass. As part of this content, players can unlock 2 exclusive Lifeline skins and a new outfit for the Professional Soldier known as Bangalore. Perhaps even more exciting is a selection of Legend Select animations being offered exclusively to mobile users. Some characters receiving these Legendary intro animations include Bangalore, Pathfinder, Lifeline, and Wraith. While these are a nice change from the familiar intros seen for years in the base game, its exclusivity has frustrated many PC and consoles players.
Since revealing these Legendary cosmetics and animations, numerous members of the Apex Legends community have weighed in with their opinions. While this content is doubtlessly exciting to those planning to play on mobile devices, those still playing the base game appear less enthused. “Will we get this kind of quality content in the main game though?” Jently PLAYS asked on YouTube. Another commenter echoed this concern, wishing the new Lifeline skins would come to the PC and console versions of the game. Furthermore, some thought that Prestige skins in Apex Legends would be more valuable if they came with unique intro animations as well.
While it is unknown if players will ever get the chance to purchase these mobile-exclusive cosmetics in the base game, it does open the door for exciting additions in the future. For example, perhaps the developers will eventually decide to introduce Legend Select animations exclusive to the PC and console versions of Apex Legends. It seems like a logical next step as it provides fans with more content while giving Respawn Entertainment another item to sell in the in-game shop.
It will be interesting to see what the future holds for Apex Legends in the coming days. Time will tell how the mobile version eventually co-exists with the base game once it finally rolls out to the rest of the world. Hopefully, its release means even more opportunities for fans of the franchise to enjoy the gameplay the battle royale has to offer.
Apex Legends is available on PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One, while a Mobile version is available in some regions.
