Next year’s stop: Japan. The ALGS Championship announced the location for the 2025 edition of the tournament. 

The major announcement in the Apex Legends esports scene came out as a surprise for fans. The Apex Legends Global Series (ALGS) finally revealed its location for the Year 4 Championship tournament.

Bringing Apex Legends to Japan’s Passionate Fanbase

Mannheim, Germany just witnessed the conclusion of the ALGS Split 2 Playoffs yet, we’re up for something good already. The recent ALGS Split 2 Playoffs set a remarkable new record with their number of attendees in Europe. It proves how the influence of Apex Legends’ community is growing in the esports world.

John Nelson, the Senior Director of Esports at EA Entertainment, has nothing but satisfaction with the news. Nelson emphasized how the Apex Legends have been reaching more and more places where their players and fans came from. He notes that as the game is a world-known franchise, it just feels right to bring the competitive show where the people are.
