Apex Legends is one of the biggest battle royale games out there, and as the third season launched just last week, JoBlo's own Bobby Shortle will be streaming the game live on Twitch tonight as he checks out the new season content. There's a new map, World's Edge, where molten heat and chemical ice collide, as well as Crypto, a brilliant hacker and encryption expert who uses aerial drones to spy on his opponents in the Apex Area without being seen. Here's a rundown via the official Apex Legends site:
Crypto specializes in secrets; he knows how to uncover them, and how to keep them. A brilliant hacker and encryption expert, he uses aerial drones to spy on his opponents in the Apex Arena without being seen. It’s been noted that his drones have a similar design to those created by wanted murderer Tae Joon Park.
Orphans raised on the streets of Suotamo, Tae Joon and his foster sister Mila Alexander escaped a life of squalor by becoming computer engineers, designing drones that transmit the Apex Games throughout the Outlands. But one day, Tae Joon disappeared with an important company secret, and his sister vanished under mysterious and violent circumstances. However, Crypto claims to have had no contact with Tae Joon, and the case remains unsolved.
Crypto’s motives for joining the Apex Games are almost as mysterious as the man himself. In recent interviews, he claims he is seeking justice – but for what, exactly, remains unknown.
Bobby Shortle will be streaming Apex Legends on our JoBlo Games Twitch channel at 9:30 EST this evening, so check it out!

The official synopsis for Apex Legends:
The Frontier War is over. After decades of conflict between the IMC and the militia founded to fight them, the region of space known as the Frontier can finally see peace. But liberation can come at a cost: the Frontier worlds were left barren by the war, and promised aid dwindled to nothing. With no way to support themselves, those who remained had no choice but to leave their homes. The brave relocated to the Outlands. A remote cluster of planets on the fringes of the Frontier, the Outlands are untouched by war and teeming with resources and opportunity. But life is cheap here, and danger lurks around every corner. Its pioneers, explorers, and outlaws used to spend their lives locked in an endless power struggle – now, they settle their differences in the Apex Games, a bloodsport where Legends from all corners of the Frontier compete for money, fame, and glory.
Remember, it all takes place tonight at 9:30 EST on our JoBlo Games Twitch channel! Be sure to tune in and give us a follow, as we have plenty of games lined up for future streams, and hope to build the channel with your help.
