Apex Legends Season 2: New guns, new characters and map changes

Apex Legends’ latest update reveals major changes as well as new content that will appear in the second season of the game: including new weapons, new characters and a high possibility that the map will be changed.

“We’ve seen all of the feedback in Season 1 and look forward to showing everyone the improvements the team is working on,” wrote executive producer Dean McCoy, to reassure gamers about the game’s update schedule. Apex’s too slow.

“With Season 2, you can see the Battle Pass with more meaningful content, the presence of new Legend, new weapons…and of course you don’t think King Canyon will stay the same forever?”

Shortly after, McCoy said Respawn was working on fixing bugs and stability issues, with a focus on fixing early game server lag, audio glitches, and hit registration. Specifically, improving the early game server is an “extremely optimal goal”, but it is also very difficult to track.

“Right now, we know it’s affecting some data centers more than others, it’s happening in many different server configurations, and it’s not hitting multiple servers running on the same machine,” McCoy said. “In other words, it’s not that the server is overloaded and everything on the machine is slow – it seems that only some of the servers are overloaded compared to the rest of the server, and we are trying to test that server is working. what to do to find out its origin as well as its causes.”

The update also reinforces Respawn CEO Vince Zampella’s words at the recent GamesBeat Summit. He said that the studio only updates each season so that the development team is not overworked – a major problem in the current game industry that leads to other serious problems in other studios.

“We know that, beyond the problems in the game, people want Respawn to add new content. Our studio culture is extremely important team health. We took these into account when looking at the content update journey, the schedule, the frequency of game updates,” McCoy said.

“The long-term goal is to make sure Apex Legends feels vibrant and engaging, with a focus on quality content rather than rushed updates. At the same time, we want to make sure the culture of the team thrives and avoids overburdening employees or worse.”

A start date for Apex Legends Season 2 hasn’t been given yet, but it’s expected to start in late June or early July, depending on how long Respawn wants to take off at the end of Season 1. Season 1 will end sometime June 17. The first details of the next season will be announced at the EA Play event at E3 in June.
