Request for non-Wildcard events

Hello.

Since Wildcard was added to Apex Legends, all events were built on top of this game mode. While I’m happy for the players who like playing Wildcard, it feels a bit disheartening that other groups of game’s community don’t get such love. Nothing new is happening in the Mixtape, there are no variants of classic battle royale, not to mention lack of any unique modes like Knockout or Revenant Uprising.

What makes things worse is that Wildcard’s enjoyers seem to be playing this mode in one singular way and get very upset when someone tries something different. If I don’t land with 5 other teams in Trios, if I choose to defend a building in TDM, I very rarely get frowned by my teammates, but if I spend more than 30 seconds outside of a battle in Wildcard, I’m almost guaranteed to see not-so-nice comments in chat. Maybe others have different experiences, but this is how it is for me. And since all Wildcard events haven’t touched the core of this mode, they are still played like a regular Wildcard and still feature unpleasant chat messages, which get old very quickly.

So, I would love to see events outside of Wildcard. I understand that events take months of work, so I don’t expect much this year (although you can probably bring back old classics like Shadow Royale or Winter Express). But I really hope that in 2027 players who prefer to spend their time in other modes would be treated with something new and exciting.

Thank you.
