Here is his full statement translated by DualShockers:
We’re incredibly excited to release Apex on Switch for all the Japanese players. I love Japan, and Apex is very popular there. I’d be great if we could make unique content for Japanese players. I mentioned Season 9 earlier in the interview, and for Season 9, there will be a new Legend that I hope will be very well received in Japan. I hope you will keep supporting us now that the game is on Switch too.
This just confirmed that a new Legend will be announced soon with Season 9 comes around. Since Season 8 just launched then more details will be coming later on, possibly around April or May 2021.
Apex Legends is now available on PC, PlayStation 4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch.
