LAB132 (@laboratory132) revealed that Astral Tracks, a competitive speedrunning 3D platformer that puts a host of dynamic movement possibilities at your disposal, is coming to console and PC. From Spider-Man-like swinging, to Titanfall-esque wallrunning, you must use these abilities to complete Astral Tracks’ procedurally generated platforming levels as quickly as possible and defeat your friends both locally and online.
In Astral Tracks, you run, jump, dash, swing, slide and wallrun your way through procedurally generated tracks constructed from hand-made chunks. The game’s variety of movement options encourages you to refine your runs and experiment with new approaches to compete for the best times as you deal with whatever surprising obstacles the game throws up. Astral Tracks features both online and local multiplayer support, as well as online leaderboards, providing all the motivation you need to jump back in and shave a few seconds off your time.
Daily, weekly and monthly challenges add an extra dimension of fun to your runs through Astral Tracks’ cyber-sci-fi settings and serve to ratchet up the level of competition by bringing players together to compete on the same tracks. Your progress through the game will be rewarded with unlockable costumes and accessories that can be purchased with in-game currency (there are no microtransactions), from peculiar tin-foil hats to elegant butterfly wings, adding an outlandish splash of eccentricity to the game’s Marvel-inspired interdimensional sci-fi aesthetics.
Astral Tracks is coming soon on console and PC! No release date was announced.

Respawn Entertainment's free-to-play battle royale experience Apex Legends is now available on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC.
Electronic Arts Inc. and Respawn Entertainment launched Apex Legends, a free-to-play battle royale shooter available right now on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Origin for PC. Set in the Titanfall universe, Apex Legends shakes up the battle royale genre with a cast of unique characters, squad-based gameplay, innovative mechanics and more.
Apex Legends delivers a squad-based battle royale experience with a uniquely Respawn flavour. Players will select from one of eight Legends - each with their own unique abilities and playstyles - and the last team standing wins. Combatants can choose from unique characters like Bloodhound, the tracker who can see recent enemy activity on the map, or Lifeline, a battlefield medic who can shield teammates and bring them back from the brink of death. Balanced squads and teamwork are critical, as each Legend is easy to pick up and learn but challenging to master.
"Our goal in every game you play is that you come in with a plan, but you leave with a story," said Drew McCoy, Lead Producer for Apex Legends. "We're building a game that is not only going to deliver a fun and memorable experience at launch, but something we can keep growing for a long time to come."
Apex Legendsshowcases several new genre-leading innovations, starting before players even start the match. Once players are ready to begin, they'll choose their drop point with the Jumpmaster system, giving each squad full control over exactly where they drop in. Is it smarter to head straight for the most valuable loot and risk early conflict with other teams, or make for one of the outlying areas to plot an attack and let other squads pick each other off?
The innovations don't stop there as Apex Legends also delivers Respawn Beacons, one-time use locations where defeated teammates can be revived, a contextual Ping communication system that allows players to call out enemies, weapons, locations and more with the push of a button, and an intelligent inventory system which automatically attaches gear and equipment to the appropriate weapons once players pick them up. All together it creates a battle royale experience unlike any other, complete with Respawn's commitment to top-notch quality and fun.
The first season of Apex Legends is scheduled to kick off in March and will give players the opportunity to purchase a Battle Pass to gain access to exclusive cosmetic items earned through gameplay. Apex Legends will follow a seasonal model with each themed season bringing new content to the game in the form of new weapons, new Legends, new skins and more.
