While Electronic Arts’ surprise announcement of Apex Legends may have been a shock to most of us, it turns out a Reddit user leaked the game 11 months ago… and no-one believed them.
In a thread called “Alleged Minimap for Rumored Titanfall Battle Royal game” (thanks, Polygon), Redditor hiticonic was unceremoniously downvoted when they speculated that a Titanfall battle royale game was in the works, complete with map, last April. The fact they didn’t add any further context might not have helped the case – posting a map, a headline and nothing more was unlikely to convince many.
“I really hope this doesn’t happen,” one commenter said (they later apologised and added: “I have put too much time into this game so far, my prejudice was very wrong”), whilst another insisted: “IT’S NOT REAL”.
