News: Respawn could slow down the release of legends in the future

Respawn could slow down the release of legends in the future

An interview made by Dexerto (hate their website so much with the overwhelming ads) with Devan McGuire, senior character designer, asked if there would be a point when there's too many legends. Right now we have 21 new legends including Newcastle and the dev said that they're aware of the possibility of not releasing a legend every season in the future. He also said that the more they add legends it will only become harder making each legend unique, not overpowered, or too niche. For now, they still plan to release a legend every season in the near future but at the same time aware that they can reach a "breaking point" with the roster saturation.

- These new legends are one of the main sources of income at the start of a season for Apex/Respawn like launch bundles. Can or will they ever do it? It's still an EA game where monetization is one if not the #1 priority. 

- Most of us here have a main already and doesn't change legends as much. Can Apex go without releasing a new legend for 6 months (2 seasons)?

- What other types of contents can they release in exchange of a new legend?
