The studio behind Titanfall will reveal its new game today. It's called Apex Legends, and has been widely reported online to be a free-to-play battle royale game set within the Titanfall universe for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Respawn will stream a teaser for the project at 8am Pacific - 4pm UK time - before its full reveal at noon Pacific - 8pm UK time.

Studio boss Vince Zampella officially named the game via Twitter this morning, after numerous leaks over the weekend spilled the beans early.

Apex Legends will feature classes/heroes with unique abilities, maximum of 60 players per server, maximum of 3 players per team (trios) to compliment each other. No titans. Just as Titanfall and Titanfall 2, Apex Legends will run on a modified version of Valve's Source engine.

This is a separate project to Jedi: Fallen Order, the Star Wars game Respawn mentioned it was working on last year. It's also, reportedly, completely distinct to a fully-fledged Titanfall 3.
