Apex Legends is making its long-awaited Switch debut next Tuesday, 9th March, and, in the run up to release, developer Respawn Entertainment has shared a brand-new trailer offering a closer look at the free-to-play shooter running on Nintendo’s console.<\/p>\n

The port is finally poised for its public debut, however, and Switch owners will be able to enjoy cross-platform play, all seasonal content, and full feature parity with other versions when it launches next week.<\/p>\n

And if you’re wondering how the Switch edition is shaping up, the answer appears to be (and, granted, I’m no Douglas Foundry) ‘very nicely indeed’, with the port – developed in conjunction with Panic Button, which also brought the likes of Doom Eternal, Warframe, and Wolfenstein: The New Colossus to Nintendo’s console – getting a fresh airing in the trailer below.<\/p>\n
