Titanfall developer Respawn Entertainment has lifted the veil on its latest project, a free-to-play battle royale game called Apex Legends. Chances are you won't be too surprised, as the game leaked more than a busted water main prior to its reveal.

Apex Legends puts an emphasis on tactical squad play, with players customising their own 'Legend,' which house a range of unique abilities and strengths to master in battle. 'Bold new innovations' are also touted, so hopefully it'll put a nice spin on the somewhat predictable battle royale genre.

The best bit is you won't have to wait around to get your hands on the game: Apex Legends is out now for PlayStation 4, PC, and Xbox One. It's a spin-off title set in the Titanfall universe, and Respawn is planning four battle passes for the game throughout the year, launching in March, June, September, and December.  

'These rewards are a mix of exclusive seasonal cosmetics and Apex Packs. Every player can unlock some of these items each season through normal play; those who choose to purchase the Battle Pass can earn everything available that season, around 100 different rewards,' reads the FAQ.

Apex Legends will feature microtransactions, naturally, and there's a Founder's Pack and Starter Pack available for £23.99 and £3.99, respectively. Check out the trailer below to get a feel for the action.
