Respawn wants more Apex Legends crossovers after popular Market collab Respawn EntertainmentApex Legends has started dipping its toe into cultural crossovers with the Market collection finally launching in November 2021. Respawn are keen to push more collabs after the first success \u2014 but have one condition. Crossovers between game titles have become commonplace in 2022 thanks to the booming growth of Fortnite. It\u2019s not uncommon to see developers share their IP around, bringing old favorites to life in new universes. Apex Legends has mostly strayed from the course. Respawn has put on one crossover in the past with streetwear brand Market (formerly Chinatown Market), bringing some hype cosmetics into the game. It was pretty well received by players, and that\u2019s got the developers thinking about what the future of Apex Legends crossovers holds. \u201cWhen we have our midseason events and things like that, we treat it as a costume party where we can kind of break away from the core fantasies that we\u2019ve been developing for a Legend,\u201d game director Steven Ferreira told The Washington Post. \u201cWe like that freedom because it\u2019s both a way to freshen things up for the players, but also for the team. \u201cI think there are opportunities for how we can do that in terms of crossovers with other universes in some way. So I think you\u2019ll see some of that coming down the pipe, and you\u2019ll see some things continue to expand in terms of our partnerships on that side.\u201d However, despite interest in bringing more crossovers into the Apex Games, Respawn doesn\u2019t want to do it at the cost of the game\u2019s core story. The developers don\u2019t necessarily want to go \u2018full Fortnite\u2019 with major crossovers every week, instead keeping on exploring the Apex universe with the base characters as intended. \u201cOne of the things that\u2019s grown over the last three years has been the universe that we\u2019ve created. And one of the things that probably surprised us that we\u2019ve leaned into since the launch of the game has been how much players care about the universe and the stories we tell,\u201d Ferreira explained. \u201cFinding more ways to expand on that is always going to be the primary concern.\u201d At least for Season 12, there\u2019s no crossovers planned just yet. However, in content releases down the line, don\u2019t be surprised if Respawn team up with other brands to get on the crossover train.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
