Chad Grenier, Apex Legends’s game director at Respawn Entertainment, has hinted that the upcoming season 9 legend will appeal to the big royal Japanese fanbase.
As has become customary in Apex Legends, the beginning of a new season means a new legend. This is expected to be the case with season 9, and with the explosive Aussie Fuse now in the game and wreaking havoc, some fans will express their thoughts to consider what the next season of the game is going to be like.
At this point, details are still rather scarce, but Chad Grenier hinted that the upcoming legend of the game will have a particular appeal to the Japanese fan.
The release of Apex Legends on Nintendo Switch took place on March 9 and will undoubtedly increase the popularity of the game in Japan, where Nintendo dominates the video game markets.
The game dropped on Switch on March 9, 2021.
In conversation with Famitsu about launching the game on Switch, Grenier touched on the ninth season of the game, which is expected by early May 2021. Although he did not disclose specific details, he pointed out that the new legend will be especially popular in Japan.
“We are delighted to bring Apex to all Switch players in Japan,” Grenier said. ‘I love Japan and it’s a country where people play Apex a lot. I hope we can deliver unique content to Japan. I mentioned a bit about season 9, but the legend in season 9 hopes I will be kept in Japan. Thank you for your support. You can finally play on Switch. ”
Note that the above comment is a translation, as the original article was published in Japanese.
There’s a “big grain” for Horizon planned for season 9, along with the mysterious legend that Grenier has revealed.
Very little detail is known yet about the Season 9 legend and how it will shake up the established pool of characters. A few names have surfaced, including Falcon, Blisk and Ash. As we know more, you will know more.
Whether Grenier’s remarks mean we can expect a Japanese legend remains to be seen, but we can expect more details on the season 9 legend as the release approaches.
