Apex Legends, introduced six years ago, is being reevaluated by EA due to recent unsatisfactory business performance despite its massive player base. In EA's earnings briefing, CEO Andrew Wilson suggested future developments, including a possible 'Apex 2.0', indicating that immediate attention will focus on quality updates and player engagement strategies. While Respawn makes progress in enhancing the game, a comprehensive overhaul won’t happen until after the release of Battlefield 6, anticipated between 2025 and 2026. Wilson expressed a commitment to evolving the Apex franchise for long-term success.
Respawn’s immediate focus is enhancing Apex Legends with quality-of-life updates and engaging content, while a full 2.0 version will be released later, post-Battlefield.
EA CEO Andrew Wilson emphasized that while Apex Legends has seen over 200 million players, its recent business performance has not met expectations and requires strategic improvements.
Wilson noted, "What I think we've demonstrated as a company is an ability to build franchises that last 10, 20, 30 years and growing," indicating long-term plans for Apex.
The upcoming development phase for Apex may not arrive until after Battlefield 6, projected between 2025 and 2026, pushing an 'Apex 2.0' timeline further out.
