Coming off the success of the ever-growing online battle royale genre, Apex Legends has been a smash hit for EA Games.

With the success of the game on PC and console, the creators have announced plans to bring the game to mobile devices. Although we don’t know a release date or what the mobile version will include, we are excited to join the fight on new devices.

EA is also looking to finally bring the game to China. Last year, China banned Fortnite, another online battle royale game.

China banned the game due to “blood, gore, and vulgar content.”

Fortnite’s “Save the World” mode has some gore in it. If you’re listening to other players online, you’re likely to hear some vulgar content. Basically, China isn’t wrong about the content. Whether or not the game should be banned altogether is another debate.

PUBG was also recently banned in China, but there are plans to release a new game that is China-friendly. This new PUBG game, called “Game for Peace,” will also glorify the Chinese military.

Apex Legends has similar features, so it will be interesting to see what EA does in order to get the game released in China. Until then, we will enjoy getting on the battlefield here in the States.
