According to the changes, event-limited items such as cosmetics from collection and themed events could also be making a return in a similar manner, which is an even bigger shift on Respawn’s part. It’s uncertain why these changes were announced, but they seem to imply that Apex Legends will be featuring more events in the future - possibly even Fortnite-level crossover events. This prolific free-to-play battle royale shooter is already doing very well for itself, but more events could potentially boost its popularity to even greater heights. However, there seem to be some mixed opinions from fans over whether rare skins should make a return.
As of writing, fans appear to be split on whether rare cosmetics returning is a good idea, with some - including leaker Garrett - expressing disappointment at this perceived loss of value. One user suggested that Respawn should bring back recolored versions of rare cosmetics instead so that the originals keep their rarity, but players who missed out on them can still get something similar. Another pointed out that it makes financial sense for Respawn to make older cosmetics available to new players. Whatever the case, Apex Legends already needs some serious tweaks, so a change to the battle pass system wouldn’t be that surprising.
Apex Legends is available now for PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
