That doesn&#8217;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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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. <strong>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<\/strong> that, in the case of Apex Legends, would ultimately bury the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Apex Legends - Official Cinematic Launch Trailer\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oQtHENM_GZU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>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. <strong>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<\/strong> and, hopefully, attract a new audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this way, Wilson wanted to clarify that <strong>Apex Legends is not going anywhere<\/strong>. They still have confidence in the game and, it seems, we will have many more years of it, despite EA&#8217;s poor business decisions and the unnecessary setback it is experiencing right now.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"Apex Legends\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-icon-s\/p\/16bd9333-7997-4053-ab87-7bfb9de4d37a\/800559947\/apex-legends-Download-Apex-Legends.jpg\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">Apex Legends<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/apex-legends.en.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DOWNLOAD<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--4.40\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"4.40\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"4.4\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\">4.4<\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\">Apex Legends is a free-to-play battle royale game released by Respawn Entertainment.
