Apex Legends dev confirms Seasons 5, 6, 7 and 8 already in development Respawn EntertainmentApex Legends players may still be enjoying the end of Season 4, but according to Respawn developers, there are already plans for Seasons 5, 6, 7, and 8. In fact, they might even include some Titanfall 2 content as well. Apex\u2019s fourth season has been a smash-hit so far. First, blood-soaked robot Revenant joined the battle royale\u2019s extended roster. Mid-split, ranked switched to King\u2019s Canyon. Now, World\u2019s Edge is hosting Bloodhound\u2019s Town Takeover. Already, however, eyes are turning to the title\u2019s fifth season. That\u2019s not all Respawn has in the pipe right now though \u2014 according to design director Jason McCord, Apex\u2019s devs are hard at work on the next three seasons beyond that too. \u201cWe are updating the game as fast as we can. We literally can\u2019t do anymore, and we have a lot of stuff planned that people want \u2013 but it takes a lot of time. There\u2019s nothing to be done about that,\u201d McCord said on Twitter on April 6. McCord\u2019s statement came after a deluge of comments from the Apex community on Twitter regarding how slow Respawn was often perceived as being when it came to huge changes to their ongoing Apex Legends franchise. That perspective seems pretty unfair, the battle royale\u2019s lead game designer said, especially when the dev team was \u201chard at work\u201d constantly on new content. That includes future guns, legends, and planned balance changes. \u201cStick with us\u2026\u201d McCord continued. He also revealed just how far ahead the devs are compared to the live game-state. \u201cWe are literally testing content for Season 5, 6, 7 and 8 regularly. We have LOTS coming, and aren\u2019t going anywhere.\u201d And for a fun anecdote, we are literally testing content for Season 5, 6, 7 and 8 regularly. We have LOTS coming, and aren’t going anywhere. \u2014 Jason McCord (@Monsterclip_JM) April 6, 2020 Respawn teases more Titanfall content for Apex Legends Of course, fans may be more interested in what is coming in those next four seasons, rather than just hearing they\u2019re on the way. In that regard, Respawn has remained more quiet \u2014 that is, outside of a major Titanfall tease. \u201cWe\u2019re always bringing in stuff from the Titanfall universe,\u201d Apex game director Chad Grenier and general manager Dusty Welch said on future content in an interview with Game Informer for the magazine\u2019s 324th print issue. \u201cWe built an awesome world in Titanfall and want to make sure we\u2019re bringing that forward,\u201d Grenier continued, before teasing a slice of new content. \u201cI will say this \u2014 there could be a pleasant surprise for Titanfall fans in Season 5.\u201d There could well be a few answers to Grenier\u2019s riddle. We\u2019ve seen Prowlers, local to Titanfall\u2019s Leviathan planet, arrive in Bloodhound\u2019s Town Takeover already. There\u2019s also rumors hardy South African pilot Blisk could be a future legend. Months ago, leakers also dug up code suggesting Titanfall\u2019s energy submachine gun the Volt could be arriving in Apex during the title\u2019s fourth season. Instead, we got the Sentinel sniper, but the Volt SMG could still be on the horizon. When will Apex\u2019s future seasons actually launch? With at least four more seasons on the horizon, it\u2019s easy to get excited for all the brand-new content Apex players will get their hands on. What we have to remember, though, is Apex is quite slow with how they drop updates. Season 5 is the easiest to predict. Season 4 is slated to finish on May 5 \u2014 just under a month away \u2014 meaning that\u2019s when the fifth season should start. Beyond that, it becomes a bit more of a guessing game. Season 1 ran from March 19 to June 18 (91 days), before Season 2 kicked off on July 2. Apex\u2019s lengthy third season launched in October. Season 4 dropped February 4. A standard season seems to last around 90 days, unless it lands across Christmas. Those last a little longer than the usual content run. That means the best guesses for when the next season drops are as follows: Potential Apex season release dates Fifth Season \u2014 May 5, 2020 – Sixth Season \u2014 August, 2020 – Seventh Season \u2014 November, 2020 – Eighth Season \u2014 February, 2021 – Taking Season 7\u2019s potential Christmas extension into account, we\u2019re looking at brand new Apex content all the way until the end of April 2021. It\u2019s no small surprise, then, that McCord says the devs have \u201ca lot coming\u201d in the future. For now though, we\u2019re still right in the middle of Season 4. There\u2019s still a month to go for the ranked split, as well as two weeks of Bloodhound\u2019s titular event. So, stay patient! Respawn has promised plenty more to come, and they\u2019re sure to deliver \u2014 as more details on the next four Apex Legends seasons are revealed, you can be sure we\u2019ll have all the info right here at Dexerto.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
