Apex Legends executive producer, Drew McCoy has stated that Respawn Entertainment will never create a sequel to the original game.
"I mean, most people don't realize how long it takes to make anything, and so a character for us takes about a year and a half to make. o we've been playing Wattson since early last year, but we have so much stuff in the pipe right now coming that people are always like, 'So what are you guys gonna do for this or that?' Like dude, we're thinking years ahead at this point. We do believe in this game as a live game. We're never gonna make an Apex 2; hoping next Season 72 is awesome. That's kind of where our head is at: how are we setting this up for the long term".
To be honest, we don't really need a sequel anyway, so it's not a big deal anyway.
Apex Legends season 2 will begin on July 2 btw and both console players (Xbox One and PS4) and PC players will be able to enjoy it.
