Apex Legends is a game that has always performed very well. Even if it has never reached the numbers of Fortnite, it is a game with a large following and has kept EA afloat for many years.

Apex Legends is a game that has always performed very well. Even if it has never reached the numbers of Fortnite, it is a game with a great following and has kept EA afloat for many years. That doesn’t change the fact that the game has suffered a tremendous decline in recent months. All of this is due to the terrible changes in monetization in its battle pass that, even after being reversed, have not managed to bring back the majority of players. Does this mean we are witnessing the arrival of Apex Legends 2? It seems the answer is no.
According to Andrew Wilson, CEO of EA, the intention is to learn from the mistakes made so far and continue building on what they have with Apex Legends. Looking at what has happened with other games, he believes that a sequel in the realm of free-to-play games tends to polarize players and result in a loss that, in the case of Apex Legends, would ultimately bury the game.
To change the dynamic of declining numbers in engagement and profits, what they will do from now on with Apex Legends is to be more aggressive in their changes. They will maintain their focus on retaining current players, but will work on making more significant and innovative changes in the future to bring back the audience that left and, hopefully, attract a new audience.
In this way, Wilson wanted to clarify that Apex Legends is not going anywhere. They still have confidence in the game and, it seems, we will have many more years of it, despite EA’s poor business decisions and the unnecessary setback it is experiencing right now.
Apex Legends is a free-to-play battle royale game released by Respawn Entertainment. In this imaginative realm, the matches are completed in the first-person shooter perspective. Access this cross-platform title on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Windows PC through Origin, and a handful of other platforms. This multiplayer game has 60 total players; users join two other gamers to create a team to defeat 20 other squads of three.
