Apex Legends has dropped a 17-second video teasing a collaboration with Godzilla, as reported by Beebom. This comes just as Season 31 is around the corner. Insider Gaming also covered the tease. However, Respawn hasn’t confirmed what this crossover will entail.
Sportskeeda shared a countdown for the Season 31 release along with start times for various regions. Unfortunately, the summary doesn’t specify the exact launch time, so we won’t provide one here. For the confirmed regional schedule, be sure to check Apex’s official channels.
It’s unclear whether the Godzilla collaboration is part of Season 31 or a standalone event. The timing of the teaser hints at a connection, but that’s just speculation for now. Neither Respawn nor Electronic Arts have revealed any details about cosmetics, modes, or a release timeline.
This season comes on the heels of a hectic few weeks. On October 20, Kotaworld reported that Apex would introduce Conduit as a new Legend. Just two days earlier, Apex was testing longer matchmaking waits in US-West.
Changes to Ranked play have sparked criticism on Steam, which puts pressure on Season 31 to address competitive gameplay. Despite this, the game still attracts a substantial player base, with 87,495 concurrent players on Steam at the moment.
| Current Steam players | 87,495 |
| Steam reviews | 76% positive (452,420 reviews) |
| Metacritic score | 80 |
| Original release date | Feb. 4, 2019 |
| Developer / Publisher | Respawn Entertainment / Electronic Arts |
Community Pulse
The overall community sentiment seems mixed, though our data hasn’t picked up any specific signals for this story, so no player quotes are available. The Steam score reflects this sentiment: 76% positive across 452,420 reviews is decent but not outstanding for a live-service shooter. The recent backlash regarding Ranked play on Steam indicates that competitive players are particularly vocal as we head into the new season.
What To Watch
- Official Season 31 start time: Make sure to confirm the regional launch schedule through Respawn’s channels before the patch goes live.
- Godzilla collaboration details: Keep an eye out for confirmation regarding content, pricing, and whether it launches with Season 31 or stands alone.
- Ranked and matchmaking changes: Watch for any revisions to the Ranked system that sparked Steam criticism, and see if the longer US-West search times affect other regions.
