Apex Legends is receiving a huge shakeup as two major pieces of the game\u2019s puzzle have said their goodbyes. It started with Jason McCord, also known as Monsterclip in the community, stating that he was moving on from the studio \u2013 but a midday announcement from Respawn confirmed Grenier\u2019s departure soon after. Apex Legends Game Director & Design Director leave Respawn Entertainment Grenier took the time to address fans and explain the future of Apex Legends in a post on the company\u2019s website. In the letter, he highlighted how much Respawn believes in putting fresh faces in charge of projects before announcing that Steven Ferreira would be taking over his old role: \u201cAt Respawn, we\u2019ve always believed that new leadership and new team members mean new ideas, new energy, and new innovations. This couldn\u2019t be a more accurate statement to describe Steven\u2019s many contributions over the years.\u201d Ferreira has been with Respawn since June 2019, and previously served as Team Director for Apex Legends. The company will also be filling the void left by Design Director Jason McCord, who is also leaving the team. McCord\u2019s decision was revealed on Twitter, where he summarized his time with the company: \u201cToday is my last day at Respawn. 11 years, 11 seasons of Apex, 11 shipped maps. I thought that was neat. It\u2019s tough to leave a game and a team that you love. But, it\u2019s time to do something new. No plans quite yet. Going to walk the Earth for a bit and recharge. Stay tuned!\u201d Today is my last day at @Respawn. 11 years, 11 seasons of Apex, 11 shipped maps. I thought that was neat. It\u2019s tough to leave a game and a team that you love.
