Interesting time to release this article: EA just released their own battle royale game (Apex Legends), and 10 millions people already played the game in its first 72 hours[1]. Plus, the reviews seem to be unanimous about the quality of the game. It got 300,000 concurrent viewers on Twitch right now, vs. 140,000 for Fortnite[2]. Curious to see what's the future of Fortnite now. [1] https://www.ea.com/games/apex-legends/news/apex-legends-10-million-players https://www.ea.com/games/apex-legends/news/apex-legends-10-m...

Apex Legends is really good but it strikes me as more of a pubg-type game not fortnite. The Penetration fortnite has had across ages 10-20 is almost surreal. Anecdote: I was playing Apex (and Siege, for balance...) and I can hear my friends younger brother playing fortnite with his friends - across the room -through the chat.

  An anecdote. My 14 year old cousin visited this week and has already shifted to Apex Legends... After months of being invested in fortnite. Loyalty in non-rpg fps games is fickle. No game may shine the way fortnite is in its peak for a while, but I do not see it having the longevity that the industry believe it will have.

  Ist't Apex Legends classified as 18yo content ? At least in Germany is. This also helps explains why you're younger brother was still playing Fortnite and why it's not gonna die to Apex.
