Apex Legends next big update could rock the very foundation of the game leaker says

Apex Legends game updates come in many shapes and sizes, but they’re usually fairly consistent. Each new season usually comes with a new legend, at times a new weapon, and somewhat less frequently an overhaul to an existing map. But instead of the regularly-scheduled new battle royale map that usually comes at the end of each year, Apex insider ThordanSmash says something that could be even bigger is coming.

In a YouTube video posted today, ThordanSmash reported that there would most likely be no new battle royale map in 2023, which would mark the first year in Apex where players wouldn’t get a major new map. Instead, Thordan says Respawn is cooking up a more fundamental upgrade to the game: a big overhaul to Apex’s engine.
