In its latest earnings call, EA said that the first details of the upcoming second season will be revealed at the EA Play conference on June 7. The event takes place at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles and is broadcast live for fans to watch online.The publisher said that it has “big and robust plans” for new content.“We’re now very focused on delivering for this massive global community with a long-term live service, including new seasons with more robust Battle Pass content, new legends, and exciting evolutions to the in-game environment,” said EA CEO Andrew Wilson.EA say Apex’s second season is likely to start around the end of this financial quarter or the start of the next one. With the current quarter ending on June 30, that means it’s in the not-too-distant future.While EA is reportedly very happy with the reception and performance of Apex Legends, it recognises that the game’s sudden growth after its surprise announcement caused problems for developer Respawn Entertainment. The company was forced to learn new things related to matchmaking, content creation, and cheating in the game’s first few months.Aside from a second season, EA revealed on the call that it is in “advanced negotiations” to bring Apex Legends to mobile devices and the Chinese market. A mobile release would bring Apex Legends in line with the other two battle royale leaders, Fortnite and PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, which both have mobile versions.With there still being almost two months of season one left, there remains time for the leaked L-Star weapon to arrive in the game . There is also supposed to be a second new character arriving before the season finishes .
