Glass Cannon Unplugged, the makers of Frostpunk: The Board Game, are making an Apex Legends board game. Though Frostpunk is a successfully fun game, many Apex Legends fans are confused about the process and excited about the result.
Instead of EA publishing an Apex Legends board game, the third-party makers at Glass Cannon Unplugged are creating and publishing the game. EA and Respawn have no involvement with the board game other than giving the go-ahead to Glass Cannon Unplugged to make the board game.
On top of that, the board game is coming to Kickstarter. All of this combined is making many Apex Legends fans confused and disappointed in EA and Respawn for not helping with the advertising and/or publication. Regardless, many Apex Legends fans are excited about the Apex Legends board game.
