The devs are future-proofing the game, already locking in legends up to Season 12 in 2022 to keep the battle royale flowing. Game development takes time, but there\u2019s comfort in knowing that your favorite game has big plans for the future. Respawn are reassuring Apex Legends with just that with their grandiose intentions for their battle royale. The devs are already thinking months, if not years in advance, and they\u2019ve teasing little tidbits of what\u2019s to come. Rest assured: Apex will be hitting double-digit seasons soon, and there\u2019s not stopping the momentum after the game\u2019s launch on Steam. Respawn confirmed as much in an April 2 podcast. Game director Chad Grenier has said the developer has already mapped out new Legends as far as Season 12, penned in for some time in 2022. \u201cAt this point we know our Season 9, 10, 11, and 12 Legends I believe,\u201d he said. While he didn\u2019t leak any potential designs, he did say Respawn are constantly thinking years in advance about what to add in Apex Legends. There\u2019s a number of concepts outside of the four \u201clocked in\u201d Legends that are in various stages of development. \u201cWe always have a handful that are in various phases. There\u2019s a bunch in prototype; they don\u2019t have models, they don\u2019t have personalities, they just have their ability set,\u201d he added. While Respawn had admitted to locking in the Season 12 Legend, Grenier says it\u2019s still in very early development. The long process between now and its release in 2022 could see things drastically change, but they\u2019ll have a reasonably clear path in the coming months. \u201cWe need to make sure we give [the writers] enough time to write [narratives] and the artists enough time to build the character model and enough time to do a proper tease and season theme around that Legend,\u201d he said. \u201cWe usually know from about a year out.\u201d Pro players invited to test new Legends Grenier also gave some insight into how they test a new Legend before releasing it into the wild.
