That's right, Apex Legends is finally getting a TDM mode - and it's bringing some familiar fun to this battle royale shooter.

Detailing just what fans can expect when they jump into a game of Team Deathmatch on Apex Legends during a press event ahead of the Apex Legends Season 16 release date, game mode designer Marty Wong has explained that this iteration of the popular game mode "should be pretty familiar for most people" - but, that doesn't mean it won't be a lot of fun.

Specifically, Apex Legends' Team Deathmatch is going to be a 6v6, fast-respawn mode with loadouts - quite a lot like Control - that is built around a best-of-three round format.
