EA Plans Major Update for Apex Legends After Battlefield Release

EA confirms a significant overhaul for Apex Legends is in development, with a potential 'Apex 2.0' being considered for the future.

EA CEO Andrew Wilson announced during an earnings call that a substantial update to Apex Legends is in development to address declining engagement.
The update will focus on enhancing the broader game experience and is expected to launch after the next Battlefield game, which is set to release before April 2026.
Wilson hinted at an even larger, long-term update, referring to it as a possible 'Apex 2.0,' though no official plans for a sequel have been confirmed.
The development team is prioritizing improvements such as quality of life updates, anti-cheat measures, and new content to support the existing player base of tens of millions.
This marks a shift in EA’s approach, as the company had previously downplayed the idea of a major sequel for live-service games like Apex Legends.
