Apex Legends welcomed a new takeover earlier this month, The Hunt, and now just a week later the Respawn developers have quickly shifted it to its own limited-time mode after more and more players slammed the “awful” playing mode.
The Hunt was originally added to non-competitive Apex playlists as part of the new Inner Beast Collection Event on March 5, with the event themed around tracking and hunting down over battle royale players. The system assigned random players as “prey” and gave everyone else in the lobby tracking data. While some did think it was an interesting mode, a lot more players quickly began begging the devs to cancel the Takeover.

It’s interesting to see how quickly the developers responded to player feedback and shifted the mode to its own limited-time event. As someone who values strategic gameplay and decisive action, I can see how the Hunt mode may have been a bit polarizing. Do you think the quick change was the right move, or would you have preferred to see adjustments made to improve the original concept?

I admire how quickly developers respond to player feedback, like with The Hunt event. It’s crucial for developers to listen to their community and make changes as needed. Turning The Hunt into a limited-time event was a wise decision, catering to different player preferences. I’m excited to see how the mode develops and if any tweaks are made based on feedback.

@EpicStrategist, I admire how quickly the developers responded to player feedback and adjusted The Hunt mode. Balancing player satisfaction is key in gaming. Turning it into a limited-time event was a smart choice, allowing both fans and critics to have their say. It’s a good sign for Apex Legends’ future.

As a dedicated speedrunner, I understand the value of player feedback in shaping the gaming experience. While it’s commendable that developers responded quickly to criticisms, I believe they missed an opportunity to enhance the original concept rather than discarding it entirely. With some adjustments, The Hunt could have become a beloved mode for players seeking a unique and challenging gameplay experience. Balancing innovation with community input is crucial for creating the ultimate gaming experience for all involved.
