EAs recent earnings call gave us an insight into the development ofApex Legends.
Is EA Taking A Hypocritical Stance On Apex Legends?
Many commentators have pointed out that this is a slightly hypocritical statement.
And he’s right.
Just look at Overwatch 2, for example.
Same game, same loot boxes, same disappointment.
However, I believe Apex Legends 2.0 is a different concept to a hypothetical Apex Legends 2.
For starters, you don’t have to buy the game all over again.
In fact, you never bought it in the first place.
If you’ve not spent anything to play, quitting doesn’t feel so bad when you get bored.
Apex has more egregious microtransactions, though.
This won’t go away with a sequel, be it 2 or 2.0.
The rejuvenated game that reappeared enraptured players and reinvigorated the fan base.
An Apex 2.0, if you will.
This will not be the final incarnation of Apex.

How Can EA Make Apex Legends Great Again?
But what would Apex Legends 2.0 look like?
Perfecting the audio would remove many players biggest gameplay gripe with the battle royale.
More Story, More Often
I love the Apex Legends universe.
We still get teases with voice lines and such, but remember the days when we got animated shorts?
I long for those days to return.
This is unlikely to happen.
But if that means the mechanical updates are better, then I’m happy to be left out.
The only option I could see is a majorTitanfalladdition in Apex Legends 2.0.
I could see it happening for sure, as EA tries to tickle the nostalgia glands of lapsed players.
That’s another question entirely.
Fewer Collection Events
Again, this one seems unlikely.
As long as players continue to buy out Collection Events, EA will keep making them.
New Legends
The cadence of adding new Legends has slowed in recent seasons.
However, I also think that more could be done with said releases.

Alter launched with game-changing abilities, and yet hardly sees play at any level of the game.
Did she need to launch stronger?
Apex Legends is being constantly updated and iterated, and personally I think most of the updates are positive.
But I think these changes could be better signposted.
Players read thepatch notesbut most don’t try the game for themselves - the numbers don’t lie.
Or at least willing to try.
Apex Legends introduces Legend bans, a new map, and its biggest LAN yet in ALGS Year 5.
