The developers of Respawn show a roadmap for Apex Legends, detailing what content players can expect in the first year. The content is divided into 4 seasons.
The future of Apex Legends: The battle royale Apex Legends has only been out for a few days, but is already being played actively by fans. Our author Jürgen even says, that Apex Legends is more fun for him than Fortnite.
For a game to remain competitive against a heavyweight like Fortnite over time, it is important to plan for the future.
The rough plans for Apex Legends have been recorded by the developers in this roadmap. It is divided into four seasons and has, like Fortnite, a system with a battle pass.
What does the roadmap show? It is divided into four seasons, which are supposed to bring new legends, weapons, and loot. With these legends, you can currently play in Apex Legends.
The seasons each run for about three months:
- Season 1 runs in March
- Season 2 runs in June
- Season 3 runs in September
- Season 4 runs in December
When is the new content available? It is still unclear whether new legends, weapons, and loot will be available right at the start of a new season or rolled out gradually over the course of a season.
That will be revealed in March when the first season of Apex Legends starts.
This is how Apex Legends stays fresh: With new legends, weapons, or loot, the possibility exists for the meta of Apex Legends to frequently change. New classes alone bring fresh strategies that will provide variety on the battlefield.
With the seasons, Apex Legends has great potential to remain successful and interesting in the long run.
This is how Fortnite is also successful: In Epic Games’ battle royale, there are also seasons. Challenges change weekly there.
Those who buy a battle pass can unlock additional challenges and the associated loot. Fortnite playfully experiments, introducing new features like weapons or vehicles that constantly bring fresh wind.
This is important to keep the battle royale from becoming monotonous. If Apex Legends draws inspiration from this, there will always be new content.
