La base de joueurs d'Apex Legends diminue : la résurgence la sauvera-t-elle ?

Auteur:Kristen Mise à jour:Dec 26,2024

Apex Legends a rencontré des difficultés récemment : la triche est endémique, les bugs sont fréquents et le Battle Pass nouvellement lancé a également reçu peu d'attention, entraînant une grave perte de joueurs.

À en juger par les données de pointe des joueurs en ligne sur la plateforme Steam, Apex Legends est dans une tendance à la baisse depuis longtemps et n'a atteint un point culminant excessif qu'au début du jeu.

Qu'est-ce qui ne va pas avec Apex Legends ? Sa situation actuelle est assez similaire à la période de stase d'"Overwatch". Les activités à durée limitée du jeu manquent d'innovation et seuls quelques nouveaux skins sont lancés ; des problèmes de triche, des mécanismes de correspondance imparfaits et le manque de diversité dans le gameplay poussent tous les joueurs à se tourner vers d'autres jeux.

Le lancement de "Marvel Heroes" semble avoir attiré non seulement les joueurs d'"Overwatch", mais "Fortnite" continue de rester populaire et continue d'introduire de nouveaux contenus de jeu. Les joueurs s'attendent à ce que Respawn prenne des mesures décisives pour lancer du nouveau contenu de jeu, mais avant cela, la tendance à la perte de joueurs pourrait être difficile à inverser. L'équipe de développement est confrontée à un énorme défi, et nous verrons comment elle réagira.

Les rumeurs sur Switch 2 suggèrent un "été de Switch 2" l'année prochaine

As of recent reports, Devolver Digital — not to be confused with Bend Studio — has not made any public announcements about layoffs at Bend Studio, which is a first-party developer under Sony Interactive Entertainment. However, there have been longstanding rumors and industry speculation regarding Bend Studio’s future, particularly after the release of Days Gone in 2019.
Here’s what’s known:

Days Gone, developed by Bend Studio, received mixed to positive reviews but underperformed commercially, which led to internal restructuring at Sony.
In 2020, Sony confirmed that Bend Studio was transitioning from Days Gone to a new, unannounced project — a move that was framed as a strategic shift rather than a cancellation of future work.
There were unconfirmed reports and rumors in 2021 and 2022 suggesting that Bend Studio had reduced staff, potentially due to shifting priorities or a focus on a new internal project. These rumors were never officially confirmed by Sony or Bend Studio.
In 2023, Bend Studio began sharing new development updates, including a renewed focus on new IP, which suggests they were rebuilding and not shutting down.

So, to clarify: No official job cuts at Bend Studio were confirmed by Sony or the studio itself. The term

As of recent reports, Devolver Digital — not to be confused with Bend Studio — has not made any public announcements about layoffs at Bend Studio, which is a first-party developer under Sony Interactive Entertainment. However, there have been longstanding rumors and industry speculation regarding Bend Studio’s future, particularly after the release of Days Gone in 2019.

In 2020, Sony confirmed that Bend Studio was transitioning from Days Gone to a new, unannounced project — a move that was framed as a strategic shift rather than a cancellation of future work. There were unconfirmed reports and rumors in 2021 and 2022 suggesting that Bend Studio had reduced staff, potentially due to shifting priorities or a focus on a new internal project. These rumors were never officially confirmed by Sony or Bend Studio. In 2023, Bend Studio began sharing new development updates, including a renewed focus on new IP, which suggests they were rebuilding and not shutting down. So, to clarify: No official job cuts at Bend Studio were confirmed by Sony or the studio itself. The term "cuts" may be a misinterpretation or exaggeration of internal restructuring or staff reallocation. The studio is still active and reportedly working on a new, undisclosed project — potentially a fresh IP, not a sequel to Days Gone. In short: There is no verified evidence of layoffs at Bend Studio. The studio is in a transition phase, focusing on a new, unknown project — common in the industry after a major title release. Bend Studio remains operational and part of Sony’s first-party development network.
