Changes after Season 13?
A 10th season in August with the addition of Seer, an 11th season in early November with the new Legend Ash, a 12th season this past February with the appearance of Mad Maggie, and finally a 13th season that continues with the arrival of under little starts from Newcastle. By the way, these are four new characters within nine months: It is therefore understood that Respawn Entertainment is not stingy with novelty when launching a new season, and the thirteenth will not bend the rules with the arrival of Newcastle.
Except that it’s getting to be too much on the developers’ side, and they’re wondering if such a frenetic pace is sustainable. Since launching in 2019, each new season has added another legend, but the future of battle royale might be less prolific on this side. In the course of an interview, our colleagues aligned themselves DexertoDevan McGuire, lead character designer for Apex Legends, explained the rationale behind this potential change.
An increasingly complete list of legends
As the seasons go by, Respawn Entertainment is getting closer to a breaking point, according to Devan McGuire. Therefore, in the studio premises, we are pondering the future of the game and the topic of the release of the various Legends has been put on the table. In response, the studio may consider slowing the pace of character releases in the future.. How often we don’t know yet, but the studio could very well decide to do every second season or even extend this interval.
Whether or not this blueprint will continue is an ongoing discussion and it may not change, but we don’t want to saturate the pool of legends. — Devan McGuire, lead character designer of Apex Legends
The designer backs up his point by pointing out that such creations bring adjustments and changes to the balance of the gameApex Legends. Especially since, as he explains, there are more and more of them. difficult to make them unique without being overwhelming or even overly specialized as the list grows.
While Newcastle wait to know what will happen with the release of future Legends, Newcastle intends to respond to the call from Season 13 called “Saviors” which will be released on all game media on May 10th.
