EA CEO Andrew Wilson has indicated that the company is not planning a sequel to the popular battle royale game Apex Legends. During a recent earnings call, Wilson explained that large live service games must focus on consistent innovation rather than launching a 'version two'. He emphasized the importance of evolving the game while preserving player investments and community engagement. This means that instead of developing Apex Legends 2.0, EA will implement systemic changes to enhance gameplay while keeping the existing player base invested. With Season 23 set to launch in early November, the game continues to thrive despite a slight decrease in player numbers over the years.

Will there be an Apex Legends 2?

No, EA does not plan to release Apex Legends 2. Instead, they will focus on ongoing innovation within the existing game to keep the community engaged and active.

Apex Legends, released in February 2019, has captured millions of players with its free-to-play model and unique character abilities. Set in the Titanfall universe, the game has successfully maintained its player base through regular updates and seasonal content, and the developers at Respawn have consistently aimed to innovate the core gameplay experience rather than create a direct sequel.
