Apex Legends developer Respawn Entertainment commented on the topic of crossplay functionality in the latest GameInformer magazine (issue 324), as reported by ComicBook.

　　General Manager Dusty Welch said:

　　I think on crossplay we see it's something that is kind of expected in the industry and is important to a game like ours. Chad Grenier and I are obviously big fans of playing our game at work and in our free time -- and we go home on a Friday or weekend and want to play with each other and we're on different systems. On a personal level, yes, we'd love to do that and party up on the weekends. I think it's an important thing to get to.

　　Indeed, when you consider that Call of Duty Warzone, Fortnite and PUBG (on consoles) already have crossplay, Apex Legends would probably do well to catch up with the competition.

　　Meanwhile, news just came in that Duos will be added to Apex Legends starting tomorrow, allowing players to choose between Duos and Trios modes as well as the Kings Canyon and World's Edge maps. Lastly, a lore event titled 'The Old Ways' also begins tomorrow and lasts until April 21st - check all the details below.

New Town Takeover - Bloodhound’s Trials

　　Dive into Bloodhound’s Trials, where you and your squad battle against a hoard of prowlers and claim high-tier loot as your reward. But beware the most dangerous game: fellow Legends who want to scavenge those goods for themselves. In moments of quiet, don’t forget to explore the enclosure, especially with a certain hunter at your side.

The Old Ways Exclusive Event Prize Track

　　As with the System Override Event, you’ll be able to earn up to 1000 points per challenge set and the challenge set will refresh at a daily rate. Plus, you’ll still be able to complete your battle pass challenges at the same time too.
