Respawn Entertainment's Apex Legends managed to carve a niche for itself in a market crowded with other free-to-play battle royale-hero shooters thanks to its colorful characters and exciting gunplay. Apex Legends had an extremely strong start, hitting records for revenue and earning more than any other free-to-play game had in the first month of launch at the time of its release. Despite some controversies in the proceeding years including unfair monetization accusations, Apex Legends has continued to grow and attract players. Now, four years after its initial launch, Apex Legends has revealed some of its plans for the future, but fans have been divided over the announcement and what it might mean.
