“I went from being an Apex player to working on Legends design, and Axle was the first character I took all the way from prototype to shipping. That full cycle gave me a much deeper understanding of what it takes to bring a Legend to life.” Every new season of Apex Legends is a balance between innovation and staying true to what players love most about the game. The teams at Respawn Entertainment collaborate across gameplay design, narrative, and systems thinking to shape the player experience. For Apex Legends: Overclocked, we caught up with Ashley Reed,Eric Canavese, and John Larson to talk about the creativity, iteration, and teamwork behind bringing Axle to life. Swipe through our Meet the Makers series for a behind-the-scenes look at the people helping shape the future of Apex Legends.

#ICYMI Apex Legends Season 29 dropped a week ago and brought with it our latest legend, Axle! 🙌 This hyper-competitive, body-modded motorcycle racer was built entirely around movement and fast playmaking. We hope you enjoy sliding past your enemies and leaving them in the dust. 🏃♀️ 💨 https://lnkd.in/g-2WAHej

Who says "playing games" isn't work? 🎮 🍕 Last night’s Dinner & Deconstruction event at Respawn’s HQ was a huge success! The formula is simple: Grab dinner, dive into a new title (this time: Marathon), and tear the experience apart… in the best way possible. There’s nothing better than debating gameplay loops and design choices with a team that’s as obsessed with the craft as you are. Huge thanks to everyone who showed up to play, eat, and over-analyze!

Yesterday's news out of Epic Games is a tough moment for the industry. Making and sustaining live service games consistently at a high level takes extraordinary talent, discipline, and resilience.

At Respawn, we remain deeply committed to Apex Legends and its future. We’re continuing to invest in the game and in the people who build it.  We are focused on evolving and innovating, and we always aim to find the fun for our players. We know many talented people are now figuring out what’s next. If you were impacted, we’d genuinely welcome the conversation. We have open roles across multiple disciplines, with more to come in the weeks ahead. Please check our careers page: https://lnkd.in/gjpHjg5

We're heartbroken by the passing of our founder and dear friend Vince Zampella. Vince was a titan and legend of this industry, a visionary leader and a force who shaped teams and games like Call of Duty, Titanfall, Apex Legends, the Star Wars Jedi series and Battlefield for our community in ways that will be felt for generations. His impact reached far beyond any one game or studio. We will remember Vince for how he showed up every day, trusting his teams, encouraging bold ideas, and believing in Respawn & Battlefield. Most importantly, he championed what he believed was right for the people behind those studios and our players because it mattered. We will miss him greatly. Our hearts are with his family, friends, and all who love him.
