As of Season 20, Apex Legends had 25 playable Legends.
The game launched in February 2019 with eight Legends: Bangalore, Bloodhound, Caustic, Gibraltar, Lifeline, Mirage, Pathfinder and Wraith. Respawn then expanded the roster through seasonal releases, adding characters with distinct tactical, passive and ultimate abilities.
The total reached 25 after Conduit joined in Season 19. Season 20, titled Breakout, did not introduce another Legend; instead, its major systems included Legend Upgrades, which let players choose enhancements during a match. That is why the Season 20 roster remained at 25.
A common counting mistake is to treat every season as adding a character. Seasons 16, 18 and 20 did not add new Legends, even though they brought substantial gameplay changes. The roster also should not be confused with the game’s original eight-character lineup or with temporary event appearances and reworks of existing characters.
