EA's recent financial call revealed that while Apex Legends boasts a massive player base exceeding 200 million, its revenue isn't meeting expectations. CEO Andrew Wilson acknowledged the game's success but highlighted the need for improvement in its financial trajectory. He outlined a three-pronged approach: continued support for the existing community through quality-of-life updates, anti-cheat measures, and new content; continued development and testing of new content; and a significant game update, dubbed Apex Legends 2.0.
This Apex Legends 2.0 update is envisioned as a major revitalization, aiming to attract new players and boost revenue. However, its release is planned for after the next Battlefield title, likely sometime in EA's 2027 fiscal year. Wilson emphasized EA's long-term commitment to the franchise, suggesting Apex Legends 2.0 won't be the final iteration of the game. He envisions a future with even larger updates to maintain and expand the player base, catering to both competitive players and newcomers.
The planned overhaul draws parallels to Call of Duty: Warzone's 2.0 reboot, though the reception to that update remains mixed. EA will undoubtedly learn from the successes and failures of competitors in the battle royale market. While Apex Legends remains a top performer on Steam in terms of concurrent players, its player count is declining, underscoring the urgency for EA's planned revitalization.
