EA are making more of their accessibility tech free for other devs to use, including a personal game coach

After offering up some of their accessibility inventions for free a couple of years ago - including the context-aware ping system seen in Apex Legends and code for a colourblindness tool - Electronic Arts are opening up even more of their accessibility features for anyone to use.

Despite continued complaints from players regarding the inconsistent audio quality in Apex Legends, developer Respawn Entertainment is reiterating its position that it does not plan to transfer the battle royale onto an improved game engine anytime soon. This is frustrating news for quite a few fans, but Respawn Entertainment's response suggests that the developer just doesn't have the resources available for such a huge endeavor.

Apex Legends' new Uprising event rewards are useless after each week

Following on from the thrilling finale of Apex Legends' series of Kill Code cinematics, Respawn Entertainment is detailing the upcoming Apex Legends Uprising Collection Event - an in-game event that unleashes an army of Revenant robots on players in a new LTM and finally makes Loba's new Prestige Skin available. At a glance, it's another decent event for Apex players to get stuck into ahead of the New Year; however, the Apex Legends Uprising event rewards are some of the most disappointing we've seen so far - half of them are temporary, too.
