I must confess i didn´t have believed in this rumor but Jason Schreier and Shinobi602 confirm that Apex Legends is real. What is Apex Legends you may ask? Well is a Free to Play Battle Royale Game in the Titanfall Universe and its release is the 4 February. Only in 2 Days.
I don´t think that Apex will harm Anthem significantly but why release EA this game before Anthem? It makes no sense. Why not focus on Anthem alone?

We need to know how Anthem does before we can assess.

We need to know how Anthem does before we can assess. True but i would guess/argue that both Anthem and (Titanfall) Apex Legends have a similar playerbase. So why should EA sabotage itself and the games (more Apex Legends) with these decision?

If it's a free to play battle royal it's not a competitor to Anthem. It's a competitor to other battle royals.

Ok its Battle Royale but why should the costumer pay fullprice for Anthem if he/she has the option to play this game for free?

Well, yes and no. Any game coming out this month or the next is a potential competitor for Anthem. Meaning some people may have another title on a list of games they may want and can't afford both anthem and that other game. So they'll pick the other instead of anthem. But also because these games are from 2 different genres people who are interested in anthem probably won't be interested in a battle royal game.

Battle Royale? No interest or competition in my book, If it means a few hotheads play that instead of Anthem, that will improve Anthem as well.

Why should people play halo when they can play Warframe? Or why should people play destiny when they can play fortnight? Lol

Yeah every game even Crackdown 3 would be an Anthem competitor but the big difference is that for Anthem and Apex EA is the Publisher. Also Anthem a new EA/Bioware IP needs every attention that it can gets. So why sabotage this with a game in a similar setting?
By the way Jason Schreier makes it official.

Yeah I knew this game was coming out about 2 or 3 days ago. The quarting did a video about it. Also do you mean a competitor in resourses or in general? Because both is true. Also who knows why they are releasing both so close to one another. They did the same with titan fall 2 and released it close to BF1.

Never even heard of this until this thread. I did enjoy Titanfall2 but this being a battle royale type game then I'm not sure.

Yeah, Titanfall 2 was soooo good. At EA set it up to fail. As they are doing with this game. No marketing whatsoever in a genre that is dominated by crazy successful competitors? EA just being EA again, setting up their smaller studios for failure.

Why? One is a Battle Royale PvP game and the other is a Co-Op PvE looter shooter, they have close to zero overlap.

Besides, they're saying it won't even have Titans. Which means you'll be on foot, so how exactly does it compare to Anthem again? It doesn't.

Honestly I don't think that even EA knows where Apex Legends fits in. A Battle Royale mode for Battlefield V is supposed to come this spring. Now before that we have an unannounced free-to-play Titan-less Titanfall Battle Royale game. And that is all coming when Battle Royale as a gaming genre is dying (slowly, but dying).

It is a bit strange to all of a sudden release a (free) surprise online shooter just before Anthem comes out. They're different games, but there will be enough gamers that are interested in both titles and will now first try out the free new 'Fortnite meets Overwatch' (you play a hero in a three person squad).
Let's see which one will get a Super Bowl commercial tonight.
