Respawn to continue making new Apex Legends characters as long as it\u2019s \u201chealthy\u201d Respawn EntertainmentDoes Respawn have a character cap in mind for Apex Legends? There\u2019s no arbitrary number, with the developers vowing to keep releasing new Legends as long as they are \u201chealthy\u201d for the game. It\u2019s always a concern with live-service games \u2014 just how much fresh content can players expect? New characters and maps keep things interesting, but there\u2019s only so many niches you can cover. As far as characters go, Apex Legends doesn\u2019t have an extensive roster compared to other games. There\u2019s 22 of them as of Season 14, and plenty more leaked for the years to come. Beyond what we know so far though, how many more characters will Respawn add to the battle royale? What\u2019s the golden number when the Apex Legends developers will stop releasing new Legends? Respawn isn\u2019t setting an arbitrary Legend cap for their battle royale where they\u2019ll reach that number and stop development. However, they will start slowing down on new characters once they start intruding on pre-existing niches. \u201cWe want to release Legends that have ownable playspaces and bring value to the squad,\u201d developer Devan McGuire said in a Reddit AMA. \u201cAs the roster grows, this task gets harder. \u201cWe also want to ensure that we\u2019re not just bringing new powerful Legends to Apex but that older Legends still have a viable place in the landscape. It\u2019s important that we take the time to do this for the health and future of the game.\u201d This is a similar philosophy Respawn used for weapon additions in Apex Legends. There hasn\u2019t been a new gun since Season 11\u2019s addition of the C.A.R. SMG \u2014 excluding the Throwing Knife in the Gun Run LTM. The reason? There\u2019s no place for a new gun in the game right now. Players don\u2019t need to worry about content drying up in the battle royale any time soon if that\u2019s the case. Given plenty of player calls for more support Legends and plenty of other niches to fill, there\u2019s still plenty of life left in Apex Legends and the characters joining the Apex Games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
