One of the most projected third-party releases coming to Nintendo Switch this year is Respawn Entertainment’s first-person shooter, free to play, Apex Legends (another EA title).
Last week, a Japanese launch trailer for the game that mentioned this version would be released on the same date as season 8 on February 2nd. Now, a list of Amazon Japan for the “Champion Edition” appears on the same date and pre-orders are posted.
Amazon JapanApex Legends was originally scheduled to hit Switch last year until Respawn delayed the game in October. Director Chad Grenier said the team wanted to “do justice” to Nintendo’s version and would therefore require more development time.
“For those who play Nintendo Switch, we continue to work hard on the port, but to do justice to the game and make it the great experience Switch players deserve, our team needs more time. This year has led to unexpected new challenges, to put it in moderation, and we don’t want to rush into anything.“
If Apex Legends actually arrives on February 2, we hope to hear something official soon. Will you download this free playback title when it finally arrives on Switch? Leave a comment below.
