Despite being over four years old, Apex Legends continues to release new seasons and events, ensuring that the player community remains entertained with fresh content. In this compilation, we highlight the timeline of Apex Legends’ updates, including the start and end dates of each season and event.
EA predicts that Apex will continue to be a worldwide franchise for a minimum of ten years. In order to achieve this, the team at Respawn must continuously introduce new seasons and events to keep the game exciting and engaging.
Their success is evident, as the player count of Apex Legends continues to grow over time.
With each new season, a fresh Legend is introduced to the Apex Games, along with a variety of additional features such as maps, game modes, weapons, and cosmetic items. Below is a timeline of the past seasons in Apex Legends, including their respective start and end dates.
