It’s been a while since Respawn Entertainment launched Season 7 of Apex Legends. ‘Ascencion‘ was Apex’s biggest season update yet as it introduced a brand new map, a legend, and the BR’s first vehicle. Besides the exciting additions, the developers also incorporated many balance changes.

Season 7 is in full swing now, with Holo-Day Bash’s festivities going live earlier this month to bring an eventful year in Apex Legends to an end. As the developers gear up to introduce more seasonal content in the future, they talked briefly about what it means for the game.
