Early Apex Legends concept art shows a very different Storm Point

Old pitches and concept art for Apex Legends' first four maps have been unearthed online, and it shows an interesting view of a flat Storm Point that existed before the map's sloping, elevated design was finalised.

A fan of the battle royale has uncovered a treasure trove of old concept art living on the Art Station account of a former Respawn employee. While a lot of it was posted up to three years ago, and some of the early designs for the stars of our Apex Legends tier list have been circulated by the community before, we highly doubt any of you will have seen this concept art of Kings Canyon, World's Edge, Olympus, and Storm Point before.

The artist, Hethe Srodawa, was responsible for drawing up some of the earliest visions of these maps, and his Art Station showcases some early concepts and inspirations boards. While Srodawa left Respawn a few months after Apex Legends launched in 2019, he was still clearly responsible for helping inspire maps that would come to the game as recently as October 2021 with Storm Point. Srodawa currently works as the art director at Gravity Well, a new studio set up by ex-Respawn developers that is making a AAA title that's yet to be revealed.
