Once the development of Apex Legends is at a manageable rate, the main focus will be right back onto their virtual reality game. But given the extra time that they have essentially granted themselves by releasing such a hit game, it could only mean good things for the company. Respawn still has to produce the game for Oculus, and they are more than counting on it. No that does not mean the game will not get done. All of this happened faster than the company thought it would, and that has more than likely taken a toll on their VR plans. This includes updates, support, marketing, and even the new Battle Pass releasing. They most likely have had to call all hands on deck to get this game to up to par with the competitors for a longer time. There could be multiple reasons on why this game has taken longer than usual to get out onto the virtual shelves, but we will pinpoint just a few.Įven Respawn themselves did not expect Apex to be this successful this early on. We will most likely not see the title appear on the Go unless the game is simplified to be able to render at the speeds the Go needs. Oculus has yet to say which headsets will be able to run this ultra top level incredibly secret yet exciting virtual reality game, but most likely we will see it on the Rift, Rift S,and hopefully the Quest as well. Respawn must know their influence and what they have the potential to do inside of the headsets of many. They have the potential to not only bring people to buy their VR game, but if they can have the same type of game inside of a headset, we could see a spike in sales with Apex enthusiasts going out to buy headsets for the simple idea of playing while being fully immersed. And if they don’t have some similarities, the company could be missing out on a very large audience. Apex Legends and the feel of the game will have a major impact on what they will want to have in this upcoming VR game. As much as predictions are often missed across the internet, I’m going to go out on a limb and say this. That is essentially what they did with Apex Legends, although it was much more secretive because no one was expecting anything anyway.īecause the producing company is releasing so little, it has been hard to connect what the rise of their new game has to do with the super ultra top level secret VR game that Respawn has been working on. Something that comes along pretty early in the production, although it would not surprise us if Respawn is simply player everything as close to the chest as possible until the game is already officially on the market. The game has yet to be given a name as well. The game will be published as an Oculus Studios exclusive, and has been described as a “AAA VR shooter game” which does not give us too much. What we do know however, is still worth noting. In fact, the company still refers to the project as the “super secret VR game.” They have had a VR game in the works for over 18 months now, and we have not heard much about it. Their plate has been full for quite some time, and the clock is still ticking on them. With the gaming industry at its finger tips, Respawn now more than ever has a lot to do. When comparing the numbers, it outdid Fornite from release date, and it was not very close. To say Legends was a hit would be an understatement. Respawn knew that if they wanted to have a virtual reality game that was as big as their Apex Legends game, they would need the same type of buyers, on scale of course. Releasing a virtual reality game is hard enough, and with a small audience, it is even harder. Respawn’s audience before their hit game was slim. But what does this mean for Respawn’s upcoming VR game? In this online battle royal, it has strikingly similarities to Fortnite, but players of Apex are passionate about the superiority of this game compares to Epic’s. This game had no advertisement while it was stealthy being developed, and right out of the gates, over 50 million users played this title in the month of February. According to Twitch, it was has been top 5 games watched over the past 60 days. It is no secret that Apex Legends is one of the best video games on the market right now.
