A massive new leak seemingly hints at the direction of the popular battle royale title "Apex Legends," spoiling what Respawn Entertainment and EA intend to do with it in the not so far future.
The new leak is courtesy of the job listing posted by the gaming studio Respawn Entertainment on its official website and first reported by Gamerant. The listing mentions that the company is searching for a senior game designer to work on unannounced mobile titles. Interestingly, the listing is under the site's "Apex Legends" section, which could mean that it is somewhat related to the battle royale title.
The gaming site speculated that the listing hints that a mobile version of "Apex Legends" could be in development. Additionally, it pointed out that the job listing seemingly backs what EA CEO Andrew Wilson said in June during the EA Fireside Chat. The executive mentioned that the company planned for a soft launch for the "Apex Legends" mobile by the end of 2020.
The job listing was recently posted and Respawn Entertainment is currently focused on providing better gaming experience for the "Apex Legends," including the much-awaited cross-play update. Essentially, Wilson's timeline seems not feasible. Apart from the possible mobile version of the game hinted from the listing, the website reveals a lot about the future of "Apex Legends."
In its career section, Respawn Entertainment also posted the need for a Technical Designer or Scripter to handle microtransactions. Included in the future employee's responsibility is the improvement of the "Apex Legends" store, battler passes, event structures and more. Relatively, this is good news for players considering that the game's microtransactions were heavily criticized in the past for its pricing.

A few days ago, another "Apex Legends" leak surfaced on Reddit. The information was shared by Reddit user Biast12 and revealed the next seven Legends Respawn Entertainment has already prepared for players. This leak is massive, considering that it unveils several years of game content.
However, some "Apec Legends" fans are not convinced about this leak, saying that there is no way Respawn Entertainment could have already prepared this massive content ahead. Allegedly, the information was an in-game screenshot of the Legends tab from the game's development build.
If this leak is accurate, it means Blisk (recon), Husaria (offensive), Ash (offensive), Horizon (offensive), Valk (offensive), Fuse (offensive) and Firebug (recon) makes up the seven Legends that will soon arrive in "Apex Legends." These leaks, while unconfirmed, indicate that Respawn Entertainment has lots of plans for "Apex Legends." It also underscores that the game is going to stay for a long time.
