Respawn want Apex Legends to still be popular in 20 years Respawn EntertainmentRespawn Entertainment have doubled down on their commitment to Apex Legends, stating that they want the game to still be played and supported in two decades\u2019 time. Despite its undeniable popularity, there has been concern for Apex Legends\u2019 future recently. The news that Apex Legends Mobile will be shut down in May 2023, paired with EA\u2019s cancellation of a spin-off Titanfall Legends game, has generated some consternation among a player base who think the BR could be next. However, that doesn\u2019t seem to be concerning Respawn, who have pledged to continue supporting Apex Legends for the foreseeable future. Ahead of Season 16, the developers have even expressed their desire to keep supporting the game for the next twenty years. Respawn hope Apex Legends will be around for 20 years Game Director Steve Ferreira and Senior Design Director Evan Nikolich both pointed to the longevity of games like CS:GO and League of Legends, suggesting Apex can fit into the same category of live service titles. They reiterated that it will not be replaced by a sequel and will instead benefit from frequent and consistent updates to keep it fresh. Specifically, they pledged to a \u201cphilosophy of evolving the game\u201d and to \u201ckeep building on the core game\u201d. Season 16 will not bring a new Legend for the first time in the title\u2019s history. Instead, it will overhaul the meta and freshen the game up for new players and veterans. This is something Respawn pledged to continue, saying: \u201cWe\u2019re not going to be precious about anything along the way, in other words, everything is on the table.\u201d It\u2019s a big \u2018if\u2019 right now as to whether Apex Legends is still going strong in 2039 but, if the devs have their way, it just might be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
