Battlefield\u00a0<\/em>franchise.<\/p> “We remain highly committed to unlocking Battlefield<\/em>‘s enormous potential,” reads today’s statement. “We’re hard at work at evolving Battlefield 2042<\/em>, are are in pre-production on our future\u00a0Battlefield\u00a0<\/em>experiences at our studios across the globe.”<\/p> As part of\u00a0Battlefield Mobile\u00a0<\/em>ending development, Industrial Toys\u2014the studio working on it\u2014is also closing down.<\/p> Legends carry on<\/h2>
Respawn and EA have outlined an FAQ on how the sunsetting of\u00a0Apex Legends Mobile\u00a0<\/em>will go down. Starting today, there will be a 90-day window before\u00a0Apex Mobile\u00a0<\/em>shuts down. As of January 31, or today, all real money in-app purchases are being disabled, and\u00a0Apex\u00a0<\/em>will leave mobile webstores.<\/p> During this time, players can spend any lingering Syndicate Gold and continue playing the game. Then on May 1, 2023, all operations will cease and the game will no longer be playable. No refunds will be offered for real money purchases. EA also notes this does not affect\u00a0Apex Legends\u00a0<\/em>proper, which is independent of the mobile offering.<\/p> On today’s financial call, EA CEO Andrew Wilson did leave the door open for future attempts. “We have learned a great deal [from\u00a0Apex Legends Mobile<\/em>] and have plans to reimagine a connected\u00a0Apex Mobile\u00a0<\/em>experience in the future,” said Wilson (via IGN<\/a>). For now, though, it seems like EA’s mobile FPS ambitions are put on pause.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":808,"featured_media":312925,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"article_type":"","gamurs_wordpress_blocks_hide_tags":false,"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"apple_news_api_created_at":"","apple_news_api_id":"","apple_news_api_modified_at":"","apple_news_api_revision":"","apple_news_api_share_url":"","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_is_hidden":false,"apple_news_is_paid":false,"apple_news_is_preview":false,"apple_news_is_sponsored":false,"apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":"\"\"","apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"footnotes":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[19539,246,19882,19580,19194],"internal-label":[],"invoiceable_action":[],"article_type":[],"coauthors":[{"id":808,"display_name":"Eric
