The success of Apex Legends is continuing to grow with each passing year, posting the highest player numbers of all time following the release of season 16 in February and the four-year anniversary celebration events. Respawn Entertainment is seeking to build on this momentum with its first new studio in four years.
A tweet from Evan Nikolich, senior design director at Respawn, today confirmed the opening of a new studio in Madison, Wisconsin. Although Respawn is concurrently developing Star Wars: Jedi Survivor, the studio’s efforts will initially be focused on Apex Legends, working directly with the previously established studios in Los Angeles and Vancouver on Apex.
