Apex Legends duos mode begins next week – Polygon, Polygon

Apex Legends‘long-requested Duos game mode will launch next week on Nov. 5, Respawn Entertainment announced today.

The mode breaks with the game’s tight focus on three-player fireteams, althoughlimited-time events in the pasthave allowed players to operateel lobo solo. Duos will likewise be a limited-time playlist; Respawn didn’t say for how long.

Although players have asked for a duos mode for a few months now, and two-player teams are popular in battle royale competitorFortnite, implementing it is something of a risk given how much ofApex Legendsis organized around teams of three working together. That said, finding two partners who are as cooperative and committed as you are can sometimes be difficult – which is probably whyApex Legendsexperimented with solos back in August.

Earlier this month,Apex Legendsgot a new map, World’s Edge,as part of the new game’s third season, “Meltdown,” which runs until February 2020.
