Apex Legends - Aiming to last as long as Counter-Strike

Respawn Entertainment, the developer behind the popular battle royale game Apex Legends, has declared that the goal is for the game to survive as long as the classic first-person shooter Counter-Strike. Counter-Strike has been around for over 20 years and has a loyal following. Respawn hopes that Apex Legends will also last as long and continue to grow and evolve.

Standing on Your Own Two Feet

The studio plans for the game to stand on its own two feet, even if no new content is added. According to Respawn Entertainment's Design Director, Apex Legends is comparable to traditional sports like basketball, which have evolved over time. The game will continue to be updated with new content, similar to how basketball has added new rules and features.

New Weapon in the Fifth Season

Apex Legends has just kicked off its fifth year on the market and its 16th competitive season. The latest season introduces a new weapon: the Nemesis Energy Assault Rifle. The game remains fresh and up to date.

The goal is to provide a long-term player experience that remains fun and captivating. With the introduction of new content and the aim to keep the game interesting in the long run, Apex Legends could be the next long-term multiplayer game to captivate players worldwide.
