A game called apex legends on May 17 2022 and battlefield mobile on November 8 2023 will both shut down.
This is what I found on the internet:
Earlier today, EA released an official statement saying that they were shutting down the development of Battlefield Mobile and canceling its release. If that news wasn't bad enough, EA announced that Apex Legends Mobile is also shutting down on May 1, 2023...Apex Legends Mobile is another game in the oversaturated battle royale genre. Even if players try something new (no matter how good it is), they always return to their favorite titles like PUBG Mobile, Call of Duty: Mobile, Fortnite, and Free Fire;Tencent and EA had unrealistic expectations. According to Deconstructor of Fun, Apex Legends Mobile was made by a team of 300-500 people, and given all the money spent on its development and further live ops, the two companies expected to return the investment and see the game become a CoD: Mobile rival in terms of revenue;The difficult nature of the relationship between American and Chinese developers due to cultural differences, working methods, and other factors. While Western devs usually put core gameplay and UX at the forefront, Chinese studios focus on metagame and monetization;Deconstructor of Fun also alleged that some dispute between company leaders could have taken place (remember the rupture between NetEase and Blizzard?). “Something must have led to Tencent seizing to work on the game” other than the game’s performance. In its statement on the Apex Legends Mobile shutdown, Respawn also cited “factors beyond our control” that prevented the studio from maintaining high-quality content support.
Its really sad because one game didnt even realese and the other one had so much potential.

Why is Apex Legends Mobile shutting down?
Earlier this week, EA announced its plans to shut down both Apex Legends Mobile and Battlefield Mobile. For most players, this comes as a shock, especially after Apex Legends Mobile launched less than a year ago on May 17, 2022. EA stated that it was forced to shut down Apex Legends Mobile due to “factors beyond [its] control” that have prevented the company from maintaining the high-quality experience and content its players deserve. Players can still play the game now, but it will officially go offline on May 1, 2023, at 4 PM PDT.

EA's surprise Apex Legends Mobile shutdown leads to a pivot
Electronic Arts' surprise announcement that it will soon shut down Apex Legends Mobile is an indicator that top console and PC publishers’ moves into mobile will not follow a straight line. Driving the news: EA said on Tuesday that Apex Legends Mobile, launched in May 2022, will go offline May 1, 2023, despite abundant signs of the multiplayer shooting game's apparent success -- and EA’s zeal to expand all of its top series onto phones.

EA Sunsets Apex Legends Mobile, Cancels Battlefield Mobile Game
EA says it will cease work on its Battlefield mobile game and begin winding down Apex Legends Mobile. The game publisher made the two announcements during its earnings call on Tuesday. Apex Legends Mobile, a battle royale game that launched last year, will cease operations on May 1 at 4 p.m. PT.  Players who purchased in-game items or have in-game currency in their Apex Legends Mobile account will lose their purchases after servers go down, and there will be no refunds, according to an FAQ posted on EA's site. Apex Legends Mobile's sunsetting won't affect the console/PC version of the game. Bloomberg reported Wednesday that EA also canceled an unannounced game based on the Apex Legends franchise.
