And on a longer-term horizon, Wilson said a franchise like Apex doesn't come along every day, so the company will do what it can to build it out further and help the series reach more people (and bring in more money for EA). "What I think we've demonstrated as a company is an ability to build franchises that last 10, 20, 30 years and growing," he said. "Our expectation is that Apex will be also one of those franchises."

To that end, Wilson said fans (and investors alike) can likely expect an "even bigger, more meaningful update to that broader experience and Apex 2.0, if you will." He said the existing version of Apex Legends is "not the final incarnation" of the game, which is a heavy tease for... some kind of broader extension to the series. Whether or not it's a full-on sequel, however, remains unknown.

"So the team remains incredibly committed. We continue to invest behind the core community who continues to play the numbers in the tens of millions of players," Wilson said. "We do believe that there should be a more major update that will probably happen after a Battlefield launch just in terms of timing and the team is diligently working through what that would be. And then longer term, our expectation is that we'll continue to expand what this franchise is and how we support a core community of highly competitive players and new communities that want to come and experience all the greatness that Apex has to offer."

Back in October 2024, Wilson said Respawn wasn't actively thinking about an Apex Legends sequel. EA already attempted to expand the Apex Legends series with a mobile game, but the publisher took the game offline.

Next up for Apex Legends is the big Season 24 update that includes a range of significant changes and improvements.
