Overview

• EA Entertainment president Laura Miele said the company is “pretty motivated” to develop a film or television adaptation of Apex Legends.
• Miele highlighted the game’s expansive lore and character backstories as ideal foundations for linear storytelling.
• The publisher has not green-lit any screen project and plans to assess the forthcoming Sims movie’s performance before moving forward.
• This interest aligns with EA’s ongoing effort to expand its top franchises into film and TV, following early work on a Mass Effect adaptation.
• Meanwhile, Respawn Entertainment has reduced its workforce and paused two early-stage projects as it refocuses on major game updates planned after Battlefield 6’s October release.
