Respawn is hiring for a single-player FPS set in the Apex Legends universe

Some new job listings suggest that Respawn Entertainment is hiring for a single-player Apex Legends game.

If anything is signalling the death knell of Titanfall, it's a series of new job listings on Respawn's website pointing towards the developer's next single-player title. As spotted by Dexerto, the Apex Legends and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order developer is currently looking to fill a number of roles for an "Apex Universe Incubation Project."

It's the specific naming of "Apex Universe" that seems to suggest what Respawn is intending to do with a series that has its foundations in the mecha game Titanfall. One of the roles, which mentions the "Apex Universe," is a senior engine/ systems engineer role.

The competition starts with a Group Stage spread over the first two days.

Teams will be split into four groups of ten teams. Each group will play a six-match series against every other group in the Group Stage.

On Friday, July 8th, after the Group Stage concludes, every team will be assigned a starting position in the Bracket Stage’s double-elimination bracket based on their Group Stage performance.
After playing through the double-elimination bracket on Friday and Saturday, the top 20 teams will advance to the Finals.
The Finals will take place on Sunday, July 10th, and consist of a single Match Point series to determine the winner ALGS Year 2 Championship.

An Apex Legends strike seems likely as No Apex August gathers steam

The start of a new season should be an exciting time for anyone, but for Apex Legends fans the start of Season 13 left many with mixed feelings. The Ranked Reloaded changes prompted more questions than answers with many booting into Apex Legends matches only to find themselves going up against players much better than themselves. Gameplay bugs seem more prevalent than before, especially on console, and it's resulted in players becoming disillusioned with what is arguably one of the best battle royale games on the market.

While things have been simmering for a little while now, the seeds of discontent are now starting to spill out online. In the last few days alone, the Apex Legends subreddit has been full of players claiming they're uninstalling the game, or groups trying to rally support for what they're calling No Apex August.

"The amount of bugs is frustrating," 'reza_SL', a Reddit user who's advocating for the strike tells The Loadout, before rattling off a list of bugs they've personally experienced. "These issues might seem insignificant for casual players but when players like me who are trying to grind ranks and lose because of these bugs, that's when we start to make moves like this."
