Players expect more from such a good game than was originally planned. If too little comes, players may be upset.

This is planned in the Battle Pass: The developers released a roadmap shortly after the release of Apex Legends. This vaguely outlines what will be released for Apex Legends in 2019.
For Season 1, which many players expected to be released on March 12, 2019, according to a leak, the new content includes:
- new weapons
- new legends
- new loot
- a Battle Pass
At least one new weapon, the Havoc, has already come into play before Season 1.
As a new legend, many players suspect Octane, whose ultimate ability is already in the game.
However, most information is based on leaks. Since the Battle Pass has still not been released, Respawn has spoken out precisely on this topic.
The developers admonished the community not to trust leaks too much.

That’s why a Battle Pass is important: A Battle Pass for free-to-play shooters like Apex Legends and also Fortnite is an important source of revenue. Due to the presumably incurred costs for the Battle Pass, the game can be financed.
Currently, the only sources of income are founder packages and loot boxes that offer skins and particularly rare heirlooms. A Battle Pass would provide a more stable foundation.
And it gives players a goal to work towards.
Through funding, Respawn can also continue to work on the game and continue the fight against cheaters, which is currently heavily burdening the game.
Recently, Respawn was able to ban over 350,000 cheaters, who shortly thereafter complained about these bans.

Update 18:21: The Battle Pass has just been officially announced.
The first Battle Pass and Season 1 of Apex Legends are still awaited. Fans are wondering why nothing is happening yet. The reason could be quite simple, as Twitch star Shroud explains.
Why is there no Battle Pass? Streamer Shroud believes there is a simple reason for the delay: Apex Legends was simply too well received. The developers at Respawn did not expect this success.
Shroud, the new face of Twitch, made a related comment (via Dexerto):
I think Season 1 should have been out by now. But they [the developers] probably want to do it better.
That’s why popularity is a “problem”: The game’s popularity has surprised the developers. Shroud said:
I think the plan for Season 1 was simple, it was just a Battle Pass and new Legends, that was it. But the game took off and they [the developers] did not expect that. So players are now expecting much more.
Since Apex Legends was released on February 4, it has now grown stronger than competitor Fortnite at its peak.
Although there were already plans for new content before the sudden release of the game, the overwhelming success of Apex Legends may have caused the developers to fear that the planned content would not suffice.
I think they want to delay it a bit and put in proper work. Not just a simple Battle Pass and a few characters. I think they want to do it right. That’s why it’s taking so long. But I think the wait will be worth it.
