While we find ourselves experiencing a wave of announcements that online games are closing down, perhaps the most surprising was EA's decision to scrap Apex Mobile, the smartphone spin-off of its battle royale Apex Legends.
Despite being named Game of the Year by both Apple and Google – and was a mobile launched that other studios could learn a lot from – the portable shooter will go offline on May 1 – not even a full year after launch.
