Which studio developed Apex Legends?

Respawn Entertainment developed Apex Legends.

The Los Angeles-based studio began work on the game after creating Titanfall and Titanfall 2. Development started from experiments with battle-royale gameplay, but Respawn adapted the concept around squad-based teamwork, distinctive character abilities, and a streamlined communication system rather than simply adding Titans to a traditional Titanfall match.

Apex Legends was released on February 4, 2019, with no conventional pre-release marketing campaign. Its surprise launch helped distinguish it from the heavily advertised releases surrounding it, and the game quickly became one of the most prominent free-to-play battle-royale shooters.

Players sometimes confuse the developer with Electronic Arts, which published the game and acquired Respawn in 2017. Infinity Ward is associated with Call of Duty, Epic Games developed Fortnite, and Bungie created series including Halo and Destiny. Those studios are not the developer credited for Apex Legends.
