エーペックスレジェンズ
Eipekkusu Rejenzu
エーペックスレジェンズ (Eipekkusu Rejenzu) is the Japanese way to say the name of the multiplayer battle royale video game Apex Legends.
This phrase is used to refer to the specific video game title. While the Katakana version is used for official text, the English acronym APEX is commonly used in written communication among gamers.
Which one should you use?
The full name is エーペックスレジェンズ. You may also see the shortened informal versions エーペックス or アペックス, both of which omit the word 'Legends'.
How do you pronounce it?
Eipekkusu Rejenzu
Did you know?
- In Japanese gaming communities, you will often see the abbreviation エペ (Epe) used in social media and chat, which is much more common than using the full title or even the English acronym 'APEX'.
- Because the Japanese language lacks a native 'x' sound, the single letter 'x' in 'Apex' is transformed into the three-character Katakana sequence ックス (kkusu).
- If you search for the game on Japanese video platforms, you might find the title written as エイペックス (Eipekkusu) instead of エーペックス (Eepekkusu), as the spelling of foreign loanwords can sometimes vary slightly in popular usage.
