Despite a variety of plot threads still hanging up in the air, from Crypto and Ash\u2019s plans to Valkyrie working behind Loba\u2019s back with Revenant, recent seasons have done little to drive the story forward. That\u2019s set to change in season 17, though, with narrative lead Ashley Reed teasing that the team wants to tell \u201cdeeper, bigger stories\u201d about the Apex Games and the wider universe in the near future. While the fruits of that labor won\u2019t be in front of players at the season\u2019s May 9 launch, \u201csomething special\u201d is slated to hit around the middle of the season. Related: Ballistic\u2019s abilities will give teammates infinite ammo and more in Apex Legends\u2019 season 17 This news came during a recent press event, where Reed discussed both the stories told within World\u2019s Edge\u2019s new Monument POI as well as the plans for the future of Apex\u2019s lore.\u00a0 \u201cApex is in its fifth year and there\u2019s this rich well of design and lore to pull from for this museum and we want to tap into that as we tell deeper, bigger stories about the world,\u201d Reed said. \u201cMore than that, we also want to tell deeper, bigger stories about the characters our players know and love.\u201d The battle royale has managed to tell those deeper stories on occasion in the past, during events such as The Broken Ghost quest or The Williams Sendoff chronicle, but it\u2019s struggled to consistently deliver on the expectations of an audience hungry for more tales about their favorite legends. The tease of greater things to come doesn\u2019t inherently mean that this will change, but there\u2019s a good chance we\u2019ll see more quality storytelling more often. Related: Are quests still the best way for Apex Legends to deliver lore in future seasons? \u201cIn terms of those bigger stories, we have something special planned for this season that we\u2019re not quite ready to talk about yet, but we wanted to let you know to keep your eyes peeled as we get closer to the middle of the season,\u201d Reed said. What that might entail is up for debate, but the prospect of exciting things to come for the Apex story is a much-needed boost of adrenaline after a few seasons lacking on the narrative front.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/s17-ballistic-monument.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/852492"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2064"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=852492"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/852492\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":854081,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/852492\/revisions\/854081"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/853973"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=852492"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=852492"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=852492"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=852492"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=852492"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=852492"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=852492"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
