On December 20, senior writer Tom Casiello tweeted out some new information on Season 8. The Respawn employee dropped some big news about a new quest coming in the game\u2019s first season of 2021. Spending Xmas break writing the biggest quest since S5\u2019s Broken Ghost. It\u2019s so big, we need every Legend involved again.*** This *is* how I relax.

Respawn first incorporated PVE content into Apex Legends during Season 5, with the addition of Loba and her Broken Ghost quest. The quest introduced weekly \u201cHunt\u201d activities, where players would enter a PVE encounter and complete objectives to advance the story. After the Broken Ghost quest, Respawn decided to shy away from more PVE-focused experiences. In the last two seasons, the game\u2019s on-going storyline has been shared with players via in-game comics that are refreshed every week. Although Apex is primarily a battle royale experience, Respawn has said they are open to experimenting with alternative game modes. The current Winter Express LTM is a perfect example of how the Apex Legends experience can be expanded outside of the BR format. Most LTMs in the past have been variations of the Apex BR experience, but Respawn could certainly experiment outside of that in the future. With the apparent return of a seasonal PVE quest activity in Season 8, this shift already appears to be underway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
