Appreciate you guys stickin’ by us today. But we’re pleased to announce that Apex Legends: Legacy is now officially live. “Well legends, today did not go as planned to say the least. In the meantime, they thanked players for sticking with them through the challenge. Respawn Entertainment has since been keeping fans updated on server statuses on their Twitter account. We’re on top of it and will get players into games as quickly as we can!” tweeted Respawn Entertainment on May 4. “We’re working through some service issues in at the moment due to high demand. The release of Apex Legends Season 9 saw a huge uptick in interest in the game, and servers have been struggling to bear the load. Meanwhile, those players who may want to display their ‘Stop Asian Hate’ badge in Apex Legends may be struggling to even load into a game. Appreciate you guys stickin' by us today.

Other tweets have pointed out Crypto’s “ Nomad Overseer” skin, which some feel is a hodgepodge of Mongolian influence. “It’s pretty crazy to release at a time when Apex fans in Korea are upset about the kung fu emotes in the crypto,” wrote another player. Asia is not a country,” read a translated tweet by another Korean player, screencapped here. It is also Asian discrimination to have Koreans kung fu. “Before doing this, please erase the Cypto Kung Fu first. China and Korea are different!!” tweeted a frustrated Korean player. “Don’t make Koreans do kung fu! Not all Asia is the same country. While it might seem inoffensive, due to the history of Korea with China it is not very tasteful,” noted one Twitter user and Apex Legends fan. “Btw please support Korean fans of #ApexLegends tired of mixing other Asian stuff into Crypto’s character. Players have especially pointed to Crypto - a character with a Korean name who speaks Korean, and is therefore, ostensibly Korean - and his kung fu emotes. Fans are frustrated with Respawn Entertainment over Crypto’s kung fu emote (L-R) Caustic, Revenant, Loba, Mirage, Horizon, Octane, Rampart, Wattson, and Crypto from Respawn Entertainment’s Apex Legends | Courtesy of EA GamesĪlthough some players feel happy to see Respawn Entertainment and Apex Legends utilizing the ‘Stop Asian Hate’ badge, other players have pointed out that the game doesn’t have a great track record when it comes to Asian identities. Violence aimed at AAPI members, especially those without the ability to defend themselves, is abhorrent and unacceptable,” reads a message from Respawn Entertainment in Apex Legends. “Respawn, our AAPI Community, and our allies are united against Asian hate. Respawn Entertainment introduced a new badge - something players can display on their character banners as they load into games - that reads ‘Stop Asian Hate.’ This shameful uptick in racially-motivated violence needs to be curbed, and Apex Legends seems to be making a token effort in that direction.
