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?

According to youtubers like Thordan Smash,Garrett,J.Meyels etc certain Respawn devs were boasting about having various new characters already lined up for the next 3,4,5+ seasons but if the slowdown rumours are true then that was just BS.But in truth could the devs just be running out of ideas for new characters & more importantly there abilities but also new weapons as well.But any new trailers for upcoming seasons just won't hold any merit anymore without new characters introduced.If more emphasise were placed on substantial changes across the maps every season whilst leaving new characters on the back burner for every other season I'd be okay with or introducing both new & old hop ups for existing weapons would be fine but lets be honest the whole map changes thing every season is just wishful thinking on my part.But I just fear no new characters or weapons every season the game is just going to turn out into a repetitve borefest with very little incentive to continue playing probably leading to a player exodus.
