Electronic Arts and Respawn Entertainment just made a splash — or maybe a small ripple, who knows — by tossing their free-to-play hero shooter, Apex Legends, onto the Nintendo Switch 2. Wild, right?
If you’re one of those folks who logs in on, let’s say, your humble Nintendo Switch or the all-new Nintendo Switch 2 before Tuesday 16th September 2025 — yeah, you get a treat. An exclusive Legendary Pathfinder skin dubbed “P.A.T.H.” Talk about dressing to impress.
Now, Apex Legends isn’t just your run-of-the-mill shooty-shoot—oh no. It’s pitched as a “character-driven, squad-based Battle Royale shooter,” where teamwork supposedly makes the dream work. Or maybe it’s just chaos. Before you jump into the arena of outlaws, soldiers, and oddballs, you gotta pick a character. Decisions, decisions.
Master your Legend’s skills! Work with your team! (Or argue — let’s be real.) Those competitive 60-player matches? Yeah, you’ll need those Respawn Beacons for resurrecting your clueless teammates and Smart Comms to chat sans voice. Who knew communication could be so high-tech?
Here’s what the big guys say you’ll find:
A Roster of Legendary Characters: Get ready to dive into a growing gang of powerful Legends. Each character’s got their own quirky personality, strengths, and tricks up their sleeves. Picking ‘em up is easy, becoming a master? Not so much.
Build Your Crew: Pick that Legend, mix those skills with your pals’, and boom, you’ve got the ultimate squa—oh wait, did someone pick the wrong character again?
Strategic Battle Royale: Abilities and wits are your best friends here. Adapt, improvise, and hope your strategy doesn’t go belly-up when things get hairy.
Genre-Evolving Innovation: Spoilers! You’ll get a taste of innovative features upping the Battle Royale game. Think Respawn Beacons, Smart Comms, Intelligent Inventory (what is that even?), and Jumpmaster deployment. Yes, you read that right.
Sweet, Sweet Loot: Drop in, hoard weapons, snag diverse attachments, armor up, and try not to get eliminated too quick. Post-battle? Flaunt those cosmetic upgrades and show off.
Oh, and while I’m yammering on—Apex Legends is ready for download on the Nintendo eShop for the Nintendo Switch 2, worldwide. Isn’t that nice?
Anyway, somewhere on the internet, there’s a trailer. Plus, some screenshots. Happy playing! Or… not.
