According to Apex lead character designer Devan McGuire it’s becoming more difficult to make Legends that are “unique, without being overpowered, or too niche,” and they may eventually reach a “breaking point” where regular seasonal character releases no longer makes sense… It’s certainly logical, although Apex Legends is probably still some ways from reaching that “breaking point” – the game only has 20 Legends at the moment (Overwatch currently has 32). At this point, most of the new characters being added to the game still seem to be fairly well-received, so big changes probably aren’t in order just yet. For now, the regular drumbeat of new Legends will continue on, with the upcoming “Saviors” season adding the new defensive character Newcastle amongst other features. You can get more info on him and the rest of Apex Legends’ upcoming season, right here. Apex Legends is available now on PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, and Switch. The Saviors season launches on May 10. What are your thoughts on this? Would you be okay with the flow of new characters tapering off eventually?
