Apex Legends set the gold standard for “Movement Shooters” by making the environment a playground. In 2026, the thirst for high-speed, character-driven Battle Royales has never been higher. Whether you’re looking for the ancestral “Pilot” movement of Titanfall, the vertical chaos of vampire-powers in Bloodhunt, or the next-gen 3D-maneuvering of Strinova, there is a game ready to test your momentum and your aim. Here are the 20 best games like Apex Legends for the 2026 season.
The Top 5: Apex’s Direct Competitors
1. Farlight 84: The Apex of Mobile & PC
Farlight 84 is the closest experience to Apex Legends you can find today. It features a cast of “Heroes” with jetpacks built into their suits, allowing for dashes and vertical leaps that feel like Octane or Valkyrie on demand. In 2026, its “V2.5” update has refined the gunplay to feel as punchy as Apex’s R-301. With shorter match times and a “Buddy” system for companions, it’s the perfect alternative for players who want the Hero-BR loop with a slightly more “arcade” and colorful flair.
2. Battlefield REDSEC: Large-Scale Tactical BR
Released alongside the newest Battlefield in 2026, REDSEC is a squad-based Battle Royale that leans into the “Class” system (Medic, Engineer, Recon, Assault). While more grounded than Apex, it features a “Gauntlet” mode that condenses the map and forces squads into high-speed, 3v3-style eliminations. If you love the strategic squad-play and “Resetting” fights in Apex, REDSEC’s destructive environments and specialized class gadgets offer a massive, cinematic alternative.
3. SUPERVIVE: The MOBA-Shooter Hybrid
SUPERVIVE is the 2026 sensation that describes itself as a “10,000-hour hero-based battle royale.” It blends the top-down perspective of a MOBA with the high-skill movement of a shooter. You can glide across the map, jump over terrain, and execute “wombo-combos” with your team. For Apex players, the draw is the Hero Kits—characters have distinct roles (Initiator, Frontliner, Support) that mirror the Legend classes. It’s the best choice for players who want a fresh perspective on the “drop, loot, survive” formula.
4. Titanfall 2: The Ancestral Home
If you play Apex for the movement, you owe it to yourself to play Titanfall 2. Created by the same developers, it features the exact same weapons (Wingman, R-99, Flatline) but with even faster movement, including wall-running and double-jumping. While it isn’t a Battle Royale, its multiplayer modes in 2026 are still active via community “Northstar” servers. It’s essentially “Apex without the brakes,” and mastering the movement here will make you a god when you return to the Outlands.
5. The Finals: Destruction as Movement
The Finals isn’t a traditional Battle Royale, but its “Cashout” mode captures the same 3-man squad intensity. The movement is incredible—you can use grappling hooks, jump pads, and zip-lines (just like Pathfinder or Octane). The 2026 season has introduced “Static-Grav” arenas where gravity shifts mid-match, forcing you to fight in 3D space. If you love Apex for the “verticality” and the ability to out-maneuver teams using the environment, The Finals is unmatched.
Hero-Driven & Movement Focused
6. Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodhunt
This is a “Vampire BR” that is obsessed with movement. You can scale any building in seconds and leap across rooftops. Each vampire “archetype” has powers like teleportation, invisibility, or massive shockwaves. For Apex fans who love Wraith or Revenant, the “Stalking” gameplay here will feel like a dream.
7. Strinova
A 2026 breakout hit that lets you turn into a 2D paper-thin form to dodge bullets and glide through the air. It’s a hero-tactical hybrid that rewards creative movement. If you like the “high-IQ” repositioning of legends like Horizon or Alter, Strinova’s 2D/3D switching is a revolutionary mechanic you need to try.
8. Naraka: Bladepoint
Imagine Apex Legends but with swords and martial arts. Every character has a grappling hook (like Pathfinder) and unique ultimate abilities. The combat is based on “Parrying” and “Combos.” It is the premier melee Battle Royale of 2026, perfect for players who love the “Close Quarters” intensity of Apex.
9. High Energy Heroes
Developed by Tencent, this is essentially “Apex Legends Mobile” evolved into its own game. It features characters that are very similar to the Apex cast (an “Octane-like,” a “Lifeline-like,” etc.) with a focus on fast-paced mobile play. It’s the best “Apex clone” for your phone in 2026.
10. Call of Duty: Warzone (2026 Update)
Warzone remains the “Military King.” While it’s less about hero abilities and more about “Loadouts,” the 2026 “Omnimovement” update allows for diving, sliding, and sprinting in any direction. For players who love the “Gunplay” of Apex but want a more realistic, gritty setting, Warzone is the most polished choice.
11. Overwatch 2
While not a BR, Overwatch 2 is the king of hero-synergy. If you love the “Team-Fight” aspect of Apex—where a Gibby bubble and a Bang ult can win a game—Overwatch is 100% focused on those interactions. Its 5v5 matches are faster and more ability-heavy than Apex.
12. My Hero Ultra Rumble
A 24-player Battle Royale based on the My Hero Academia anime. Characters have “Quirks” that function exactly like Legend abilities. It’s a great “niche” BR for fans who want a stylized, ability-first combat system.
13. Highguard
A 2026 “Raid-Shooter” made by former Apex developers. It features “Gravity Boots” that let you walk on walls and ceilings. It captures that “slick, punchy” action Respawn is known for, set in a colorful sci-fi universe.
14. Blood Strike
A fast-paced “looter-shooter” BR that feels like a mix of Warzone and Apex. It features “Strikers” (Heroes) with tactical skills and emphasizes high-speed sliding and aggressive pushing.
15. Destiny 2: The Final Shape (Crucible)
For Apex fans who enjoy the “Space Magic” and “Looter” feel, Destiny 2’s PvP is highly polished. The movement (Blinking, Triple-Jumping) and the use of Supers feel very similar to the “Legend Ultimate” experience.
The Movement Frontier
16. Splitgate 2
Halo-style gunplay with portals. It’s the ultimate “outplay” game for high-mobility fans.
17. Realm Royale Reforged
A fantasy BR with classes (Mage, Warrior, Assassin) and the hilarious mechanic of turning into a “Chicken” when downed.
18. Super Animal Royale
A top-down 2D BR. It sounds cute, but the “spacing” and “aiming” are surprisingly deep, perfect for a mental break.
19. Ghostrunner 2
A single-player “Cyberpunk Ninja” game. It’s on this list because it is the ultimate training ground for “Apex movement” like sliding and air-strafing.
20. Fortnite (No Build)
In 2026, Fortnite’s “Movement Meta” (with tactical sprinting, mantling, and sliding) has made it a legitimate alternative for Apex fans who don’t want to build houses mid-fight.
FAQ: Transitioning from Apex
Q: Which game has the most similar movement to Apex? A: Titanfall 2 is the DNA of Apex. For a Battle Royale, Farlight 84 captures the “Dash/Slide” feel most accurately.
Q: Is there a game with a “Ping System” as good as Apex? A: Most modern BRs like Warzone and The Finals have adopted the ping system, but Apex’s remains the industry leader for communication without a mic.
Q: Which game should I play if I main Pathfinder? A: Try The Finals (Light build with Grappling Hook) or Farlight 84 (watch for the “Stellar” hero).
Final Thoughts
Apex Legends is about the “Dance”—the sliding, the repositioning, and the clutch ability usage. In 2026, whether you’re flying in Farlight 84 or destroying buildings in The Finals, that “Apex flow” is alive and well in dozens of new titles.
