Apex Legends Season 16 leaker shares Overwatch 2 style class rework

The anticipation for Apex Legends Season 16 is high, as developer Respawn Entertainment seeks to introduce a season like never before. Leaks have been more rampant than ever, and they largely suggest that the next major update could fix many of the game's biggest quality-of-life issues. However, it is the idea of a class rework that many players are excited about, and Apex Legends leaker 'Senos' has provided us with a glimpse into this could be executed.

Unannounced single-player Titanfall game has been cancelled by EA

Fans have been clamouring for a sequel to Titanfall 2 since its release in 2016, but it looks like we might need to put those hopes on hold for a little longer. According to a report from Bloomberg, EA have cancelled an unannounced project codenamed Titanfall Legends, a single-player mash-up between Titanfall and Apex Legends - Respawn’s battle royale, set in the same universe. Around 50 devs were working on the game before its cancellation earlier this week. EA are reportedly trying to find other positions for the devs, but those that aren't rehired are being laid off with severance.

Apex Legends Mobile will be bidding players goodbye later this year, but what will happen to its content? Fans of the portable iteration of the Respawn shooter have grown to love Rhapsody and Fade - legends that are exclusive to Apex Legends Mobile. Though Apex Legends Season 16 might be legend-less, there is room in the future for new characters. Will Rhapsody and Fade come to Apex Legends on consoles?

Apex Legends' Ash revealed character with quietest footsteps

We know stealth isn't the most impactful factor when it comes to success in Respawn Entertainment's battle royale shooter, but tactfully choosing when to keep quiet can make quite a bit of difference when you're trying to win in Apex Legends - especially if you're sitting in the final circle. But, outside of utilising abilities like Wraith's Into The Void or Mirage's Life Of The Party, how're you supposed to know which character is the best when it comes to stealth? Well, one dedicated Apex Legends fan has managed to work out which Apex Legends character has the quietest footstep audio - so, that's a start.

In an effort to work out which character has the quietest footstep audio at the moment, Apex Legends fan 'Pescodar189' has taken to Reddit with dBFS (decibels relative to full scale) recordings for every single character in this battle royale. They haven't just recorded a bunch of gameplay clips, though. This test, this somewhat scientific experiment, has been conducted with almost every influencing factor in mind.

Not only has Pescodar taken the average readings from a "timescale", rather than just noting a character's peak audio output, they have also conducted this experiment on three different in-game surfaces: dirt, stone, and metal. In an effort to reinforce any findings they might have stumbled onto, they also tested two of the characters in live games on World's Edge and two games on Broken Moon. As you can read in Pescodar's explanatory Reddit post here, they also tested "pieces of this" experiment on different computers using different settings.
