When Apex Legends shadow-dropped seven years ago this month, it was a very different game. Its roster of characters, while still more diverse than most FPS games' lineups, was limited to just eight Legends, compared to the 26 to choose from as Season 28 kicks off now in February 2026. It also looked a lot more like Titanfall. While the Apex Games still take place within Respawn's iconic sci-fi universe, things have moved on from the drab military garb of earlier seasons, for better and for worse.
