Apex legends? The fully online battle Royale style competitive shooter? Can anyone tell me why a game like this needs a "character writer" anyway? I've never played it so maybe there's some grand story I don't know about, but to me this sounds like writing a character for Counter Strike which I think we all agree would be completely pointless.
I'll try to explain, I'm not a specialist in the lore of Apex legends. But the game is based in the world of Titanfall. It released in 2019 with a few characters. Each 1 or 2 season bringing a new characters with new abilities and background in the story. They have done a pretty good job so far and I really enjoy each characters.
CS at least back in the day didn't have a class based gameplay, each characters had the same abilities. So I guess it doesn't really compare.
It's more like asking why you need a writer for an Overwatch character than CS. The characterization is half of the point and, more importantly, sales on cosmetics, compared to CS/Halo/MW/Whatever
