Glass Cannon Unplugged and Genuine Entertainment have announced the full Legend roster and a Kickstarter exclusive for Apex Legends™: The Board Game. The game will allow players to experience the ultimate Apex Legends™ experience, involving opposing teams of Legends battling it out on a 3D arena in multiple game modes, covering a diverse abundance of playstyles.

The full character roster will include a total of 13 Legends, including the initial four already announced—Wraith, Bloodhound, Bangalore, and Gibraltar—as well as fan favorites: Lifeline, Pathfinder, Caustic, Mirage, Octane, Crypto, Revenant, and Wattson. These will be introduced into the game through dedicated Legend packs and expansion modules allowing it to be played by up to 6 players.

For the 13th Legend, the designers have prepared something special—the Loba Expansion, which is a free, limited Legend Pack for Kickstarter campaign backers at the Core Pledge level and above, introducing the notorious loot scout—Loba! Apart from making her available as a fully playable character, the expansion provides all the necessary components to bring her to life on the board.

The game’s Core Box already contains three distinct gameplay modes: Training, Deathmatch, and Battle Royale, and expansions for the game will introduce play modes dedicated to solo play, co-op and organized (tournament) play—all being developed with world-class experts.
