Season 29 Tease: What’s Next for Apex Legends?
-

Beyond the latest Octane nerfs, Respawn Entertainment has outlined broader plans for Apex Legends through 2026 and into early 2027. A new Legend is already planned for Season 29, raising questions about how the next character will fit into the evolving competitive landscape.
Balancing the meta has historically required ongoing tweaks, and Octane’s repeated adjustments show Respawn is closely monitoring pick rates and combat performance data. Whether these latest changes are enough to bring Octane back in line — or if further nerfs are on the horizon — will become clear as Season 28 progresses and players adapt to the shifting battlefield.
