Apex Legends 2.0: Everything we know

Apex Legends has been a prominent title in the battle royale genre. Over the years, it has introduced numerous seasons, each bringing new content and updates to keep the player base engaged.

According to VG Insights, Apex has a total of over 29 million unique players in its lifetime. As of March 2024, the game generated over $3.4 billion for EA. However, recent reports indicate a significant decline in the player base. Several factors have contributed to this decline, including issues with cheating and dissatisfaction with the pricing of in-game cosmetics.

EA is actively working on a major update to revive the game and address current issues. The statement from Andrew Wilson reads,

"Sometime on a longer-term time horizon, there will be an even bigger, more meaningful update to that broader game experience. An Apex 2.0, if you will. This will not be the final incarnation of Apex."

While specific details about the update remain under wraps, the timing is planned for after the release of the next Battlefield installment. As of now, EA has not announced an exact release date for the upcoming Battlefield game. However, it has initiated public playtesting through a program called Battlefield Labs, inviting players to participate in early pre-alpha testing and provide feedback.
