UPDATE: It appears that Respawn’s Vince Zampella has posted an update, indicating everything will be unveiled around noon PDT, with something “cool” coming in the AM. You can see his tweet below.
I want to clarify, 8am pst starts the @PlayApex teaser stream. It’s super cool, but it leads up to the full reveal of everything at noon. So you probably don’t have to call in sick, just fake food poisoning at lunch and go home early.//t.co/LsOnVwY35B

Even Dr. Disrespect, superstar streamer, got in on the act. Sort of.
So insanely excited for the new Battle Royale game by @Respawn. I can show you this Monday!

And now there’s an official Twitter channel for the game as well, which should fill up with information as soon as it becomes available.
While some folks are still a bit mixed wondering how Battle Royale will work without Titans in the world, there are still some excited to see what Respawn has planned:

looking forward to it. I’ve been wanting a BR game that’s bridges the gap between too serious (PUBG) and too kiddish (Fortnite). Fingers crossed yours does that. Hoping we can wall run too. That’s all I want, really.

We’ll be posting all the news from the official reveal when it drops tomorrow, so be sure to check back to see what’s happening with Apex Legends!
And, who knows, we might just get that third Titanfall game later this year as well. Fingers crossed.
Are you excited to see what Apex Legends is all about? Let me know on Twitter at @TheDCD!
