Krafton has introduced new Dune-themed rewards in the EvoGround mode. This is the second movie crossover for <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/apps/news/battlegrounds-mobile-india-ios-version-is-now-available-for-download/articleshow/85419990.cms">BGMI</a> after Godzilla vs Kong for which Krafton introduced a Titans: Last Stand mode.<br /><br />The Dune-themed experience is now live in BGMI and it will continue until November 11. To win Dune-themed rewards, BGMI players will have to complete in-game challenges. The rewards include 50 RP, Dune-themed pan and parachute. You can get 50 RP after playing EvoGround mode for five times. The Dune pan will be unlocked for three days after playing EvoGround 10 times. As for the Dune parachute, it will be unlocked permanently after you play EvoGround 20 times. <br /><br />This isn’t a major crossover like the Gozilla vs Kong crossover but Dune fans can experience a little bit of the movie in BGMI. Speaking of which, Dune has become Warner Brothers’ biggest box office opening this year with $40.1 million earnings in the first three days. A sequel of the movie based on the science fiction novel by Frank Herbert has also been confirmed for 2023.<br /><br />    <div type="javascript" title="Facebook" contenttype="Video"><cdata><![CDATA[]]></cdata></div><br />The BGMI x Dune crossover will be active until November 11.

<p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><p class="source"><span>"Apex Legends"/Electronic Arts</span></p></div><p></p></div></div></p><ul class="summary-list"><li><strong>Electronic Arts is a massive video game publisher, responsible for major franchises like "Madden," "FIFA," and the upcoming "<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/category/anthem">Anthem</a>."<br /></strong></li><li><strong>EA also publishes "<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/category/apex-legends">Apex Legends</a>," the latest blockbuster hit in the nascent Battle Royale genre popularized by games like "Fortnite."</strong></li><li>The sudden release and impact of "Apex Legends" is a major success for EA, but it may also overshadow the impending launch of "Anthem."</li></ul><p>"No one really knew how much it would take off," BioWare lead producer Mike Gamble <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/anthem-bioware-ea-mike-gamble-interview-2019-2">told Business Insider in a phone interview last week</a>.</p><p>"It's taken off in a big way, which is great! We're still all part of the EA Studios culture, so when one of our teams does really well on something we all applaud it."</p><p>Gamble was talking about "Apex Legends," the huge new game from EA's Respawn Entertainment. Since its surprise announcement and launch on February 4, more than 25 million players have competed to be champion. It's a bonafide hit across Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC - in fact, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/apex-legends-player-count-2019-2">"Apex Legends" is growing <em>even more quickly</em></a> than "Fortnite."</p><p>It's safe to say no one could've expected this kind of response, even in the wake of the "Fortnite" phenomenon.</p><p>But what does the massive, sudden success of "Apex Legends" mean for "Anthem," the other huge blockbuster from EA that's on the verge of launch? With "Apex" sucking up all the air in the room, how will "Anthem" compete?</p><p>With just days until launch, that's still unclear.</p><p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><p class="source"><span>EA/BioWare</span></p><p class="caption">From the outside, it looks like EA just accidentally overshadowed its own blockbuster game launch.</p></div><p></p></div></div></p><h2>They are different, but not <em>that</em> different</h2><p>"Anthem" doesn't officially launch until February 22. When it does launch, it will cost $60 for the least-expensive version. But it's already available to play ... kind of. </p><p>If you're a paying member of EA's PC-based service, EA Origin Access Premier, you can download and play the full game starting on February 15. If you're a paying member of EA's Xbox One-based service, EA Access, you can download and play the first 10 hours of the game starting on February 15. <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-to-play-anthem-chart-2019-1">There's a whole chart</a>.</p><p>"Apex Legends," on the other hand, does not require a chart to decipher when you're allowed to play it. You can download it right now, for free, on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and/or PC. And you probably should, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/apex-legends-review-2019-2">because it's <em>really</em> good</a>. </p><p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><p class="source"><span>EA/BioWare</span></p><p class="caption">Also, "Anthem" has jet packs. There are no jet packs in "Apex Legends." Not yet, anyway.</p></div><p></p></div></div></p><p>Admittedly, "Anthem" and "Apex Legends" are somewhat different games. </p><p>"Anthem" is a so-called "loot and shoot" game, along the lines of "Destiny" and "The Division." It's played entirely online, in a shared open world with other actual players.</p><p>"Apex Legends," however, is a Battle Royale-style game - a first-person shooter with squads and classes. The last squad alive in any given round wins.</p><p>That said: Both are shooters. Both are online-only. Both are available only on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC. They are different, but also not <em>that</em> different.</p><p>Gamble sees the distinction between the two games a little differently.</p><p>"With 'Apex Legends' being primarily a player-versus-player (PvP) game, obviously free-to-play and Battle Royale, that serves a certain niche," he said. </p><p>"The fact that we are a co-operative game (PvE) and we are a long-term service game, with a full story, characters, and that whole kit and caboodle ... you can start to see how the people who are going to want to invest a lot of time in 'Anthem' and the people who want to invest a lot of time in 'Apex' ... the overlap starts to get less and less when you look at the kind of games that they are." </p><p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><p class="source"><span>EA/Respawn Entertainment</span></p><p class="caption">"Apex Legends" players can buy in-game currency with real money, which can then be used in the game for various cosmetic items.</p></div><p></p></div></div></p><h2>It isn't just about money</h2><p>During our conversation, Gamble also pointed out that, since "Apex Legends" is free and "Anthem" is not, players don't have to make a binary purchasing decision.</p><p>"It's not like people have to make a decision between $60 'Anthem' and $60 'Apex.' They just have to get 'Anthem' and then they can download 'Apex,'" he said.</p><p>Though the distinction isn't wrong, it may be missing a crucial point: The choice isn't simply about money, but also time, personal preference, and a variety of other factors.</p><p>As Netflix CEO Reed Hastings has pointed out in the past, Netflix's biggest competition isn't Amazon or YouTube or Hulu or HBO - it's <em>other activities</em>, like <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/apr/18/netflix-competitor-sleep-uber-facebook">sleep</a>, or <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/netflix-fortnite-competition-q4-earnings-2019-1">playing video games</a>. </p><p>In the same way, players may simply opt to play "Apex Legends" instead of "Anthem." That potential lack of early enthusiasm could be a death sentence for a game like "Anthem" that depends on an active, large playerbase. </p><p>And, if the distinction between them <em>is</em> solely about price, it's pretty easy to choose the free game over the $60 one.</p><p>"Anthem" runs a serious risk of being overshadowed by the massive popularity of "Apex Legends," which would be quite a thing given that both games are published by the same company. With just a few days until the launch of "Anthem," we'll find out shortly.</p><p class="tagline">Get the latest Microsoft stock price<a href="http://markets.businessinsider.com/stock/MSFT-Quote"> here.</a></p>    <div class="margin-top">        <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/samsung-galaxy-s10-phone-launch-what-to-expect-2019-2">Everything we know about the Galaxy S10, which is shaping up to be Samsung's best phone yet</a></h3>        <div>                    </div>    </div>
