There’s been no scarcity of fantastic new recreation modes over the past couple of seasons of Apex Legends. From the return of Solos, to the introduction of Quads, to the addition of Revival modes that offer you a number of possibilities to respawn, there’s been lots happening. Nevertheless, one stalwart recreation mode has turn into a casualty of all this experimentation: Duos. Properly, nearly 4 months on from when it was final seen within the FPS recreation, Apex Legends is lastly bringing Duos again, and also you haven’t bought for much longer to attend.
If you happen to’re questioning what the heck occurred to Duos, right here’s a fast primer. Again in Might firstly of Season 21, Apex Legends launched a limited-time Solos Takeover. This was thrilling as Respawn had beforehand performed down bringing solo modes again to its battle royale recreation, and there hadn’t been a solo expertise since approach again in Season 2. Nevertheless, it was Duos – a daily, staple battle royale mode – that needed to make approach for it. Followers had been mildly irritated that it might go away the sport for a number of weeks, however thought it might return as soon as Solos Takeover left. It didn’t.
Then the present season, Season 22 arrived, and nonetheless there was no signal of Duos coming again. ‘Mildly irritated’ shortly changed into ‘baffled and livid’ as this core expertise was nonetheless someway lacking from Apex’s playlist. Nevertheless, it’s now time to place the pitchforks down.
Respawn has introduced that Apex Legends Duos mode will return on Tuesday, September 27. In response to a fan query on X, the studio additionally confirmed that Duos would stay within the recreation till “no less than the tip of the season.” Season 22 is because of wrap up on Tuesday, October 29.
Whereas the return of Duos is great, solely guaranteeing it stays till the tip of Season 22 is a bit unusual. This remark from an Apex fan in response to Respawn’s put up completely sums up how I really feel: “Are you able to be clear as to why you’re abruptly treating a core mode that’s been in recreation without end prefer it’s just a few LTM nobody likes?”
Whereas this can be only a normal, non-committal response from Respawn whereas it irons out its content material plan for Season 23, it actually does really feel as if this as soon as important recreation mode is now thought of ‘simply one other mode’ that may be rotated out and in of Apex. Whereas Trios is after all the actual cornerstone of the sport, there are many gamers that love teaming up with one different pal or identical to the pacing of a Duos match. I don’t doubt extra questions shall be requested concerning the destiny of Duos as Season 23 approaches.
