Warzone nabs another Apex Legends feature ahead of Las Vegas WSOW Finals

As a long-time battle royale gamer with countless hours spent on Apex Legends and Call of Duty: Warzone, I can’t help but feel a mix of excitement and apprehension as these two titans continue to merge. The once distinct genres are now blending into each other, leaving me wondering where the innovation will come from next.


Initially, the battle royale genre encompassed diverse game titles, each specializing in various aspects such as realism, arcade, and looter-shooters. However, as development progressed, designers began blending elements from other successful competitors into their own projects.

As an avid gamer, I’ve noticed that there are a few games in the market today that seem overly similar to one another. Call of Duty, in particular, seems particularly interested in merging with Apex Legends’ lineage as it continues to adopt some of its popular features.

1. It’s widely considered that Apex Legends boasts the top battle royale game status in esports, particularly in the Western world, with PUBG Mobile earning recognition in the Eastern region. This recognition is due in part to the unique format it offers, which is a key factor behind its success.

As a dedicated gamer, I’ve noticed that the secret behind Respawn and EA’s triumph lies in their innovative “match point” system. In essence, once a team surpasses a certain score threshold, not just through placements but also kills, they must then battle it out to the very end and win the final match to claim the coveted champion title.

In this format, anywhere from one to twenty teams could reach the final point of competition. The pressure is significantly heightened, particularly during the decisive stages. Initially, this capability was exclusive to Apex due to a patent. However, it seems that Warzone is now incorporating it into the World Series Grand Finals.

As a long-time fan of Activision games, especially Call of Duty: Warzone, I’ve grown accustomed to the thrill and excitement that comes with each new update or event in the game. However, lately, there’s been a lingering uncertainty regarding Activision’s ability to navigate the complexities of intellectual property law, specifically with regards to Electronic Arts’ patent.
