EA CEO Hints at Apex Legends 2.0 Update

EA CEO Andrew Wilson recently dropped a hint about a massive update in the works, something so significant he’s calling it “Apex 2.0.” This comes as Apex Legends celebrates its sixth anniversary, a milestone marked by numerous seasons, map changes, a growing roster of Legends, and even a mobile version that came and went. But this next update sounds like it’ll be on a whole different level.

Wilson, speaking during EA’s latest earnings call, confirmed that Respawn Entertainment is not just supporting the current game, but actively developing this “major update.” He even suggested it’s so transformative, “Apex 2.0” is a fitting description.  

Now, what exactly “Apex 2.0” entails is still a mystery. Could it be a collection of new maps and game modes? Maybe even more Legends are joining the fray? Or perhaps it’s a deep dive into gameplay mechanics, refining and polishing what’s already there? The possibilities are exciting, and frankly, anyone’s guess.

However, don’t expect this game-changer anytime soon. Wilson made it clear that “Apex 2.0” is slated for release after the next Battlefield game launches. EA’s current plans point to that Battlefield title arriving sometime within their Fiscal Year 2026, which runs until April 1, 2026. Of course, game development being what it is, delays are always possible.  

So, while “Apex 2.0” might be over a year away, at least, we can take comfort in knowing that Respawn is working on something big for the future of Apex Legends.
