Just to note @TheQuartering was first to report details of the game and I should have stated that. Additionally @ZhugeEX says from what he has heard, the announcement of Apex Legends will come tonight in a Super Bowl ad.

Running a promotion during the Super Bowl would be massive exposure for the game, although at great expense – presumably no issue with backing from EA.
EA also have BioWare’s Anthem releasing later in February, so perhaps there will be promotion for both titles, if they have in fact paid for an ad slot during the Super Bowl.
We will keep this story updated as more details about the rumored Apex Legends announcement and release become available. It is believed to be coming to PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
