Apex Legends fans are getting a novel of tasty new lore

In the battle royale genre, Apex Legends is unique in the fact that it leans so heavily on the in-game lore. An element of this is likely due to the Apex Games taking place in the wider Titanfall universe, offering extra lore snippets to the legion of cult fans of the first-person shooter dilogy.

In the past, lore has been drip-fed to fans through trailers, Season Quests, and short Tales from the Outlands animations that explore the characters' backstories. However, it's clear that the writers have plenty more material and no vessel to carry it. Nobody likes jumping into a game of Apex Legends ranked only to be faced with a bunch of text explaining all the lore, so they put it in a book.

We're not joking, the first Apex Legends novel, Pathfinder's Quest, has been penned by three lead writers for the game, and is available to preorder now from Amazon and Amazon UK. Tom Casiello, Manny Hagopian, and Ashley Reed have worked on the hardback tome, which sees Pathfinder attempt to discover who, or perhaps what, created him.
