Apex Legends, now over three years old, sits in a series of rotating seasons and events, trying to keep up with the playerbase’s thirst for content. Here’s a recap of Apex Legends history and when each season and event began and ended.
As it becomes clear that Apex Legends is a game that’s here to stay, it’s useful to have a record of its history, with EA even saying they expect Apex to be a global franchise for at least a decade.
Each new Season brings a new Legend to the Apex games, as well as a selection of other content such as maps, game modes, weapons, and cosmetic content. Here’s an overview of Apex Legends history and when each season began and ended.
A new Apex Legends season begins roughly every three months.
When did each season of Apex Legends start and end?
Each Apex Legends season lasts approximately three months, although there have been some exceptions such as B. the third season, which lasted much longer than expected.
