Look for Apex Legends to begin to expand past just the traditional battle royale format in the coming year as part of an overall plan to grow the community and evolve the IP.
Star Wars Mandalorian Game Reportedly in the Works at Respawn Entertainment

Respawn Entertainment, the studio behind Apex Legends and the Star Wars Jedi series, are reportedly working on a Mandalorian project.
According to the report over at Insider Gaming, the project is still in early development but will be a first-person game in which players will take on the role of a Mandalorian bounty hunter during the Galactic Civil War (the setting of the original trilogy of Star Wars films).
The project will focus on “mobility” and style, according to VentureBeat’s Jeff Grubb. Expect the game to make heavy use of the Mandalorian’s jet pack to allow players to dash horizontally, leap vertically, and boost slide, which is being described as sliding down hills in Apex Legends. The game will emphasize style in its gameplay so much so that health regeneration will primarily reward players who are capable of making kills in quick succession.
Other tools-of-the-trade will be available to the Mandalorian as well, including a significant arsenal of weapons and toys such as the iconic wrist rocket, grappling hook, a visor capable of tagging enemies and more. The game will not be open world and will instead focus on linear levels spread across the Star Wars galaxy.
Are we finally getting the Prey sequel (in spirit, anyways) we were robbed of years ago?

Titanfall Game Reportedly in Development at Respawn, Though It Won’t Be a Sequel
Respawn Entertainment's debut IP was Titanfall. The success of that franchise led Electronic Arts to purchase Respawn in November 2017. However, the only new game released in that universe after the acquisition is the Battle Royale Apex Legends, which is obviously quite far from Titanfall's original target audience.
