Will Apex Legends Season 24 be spearheaded by an Assault-class meta?

While there's no official confirmation from the developers, the community is speculating a potential Assault-class meta coming in with the debut of Apex Legends Season 24. These speculations are based on the newly released key art featuring three popular Assault Legends: Mad Maggie, Ballistic, and Ash.

In a recent exclusive interview held by TheGamer, John Larson, Apex Legends’ live balance designer had said:

" The current Ash is compelling in this meta where once you get a knock you really have to capitalise on that; both with the tether to secure someone and then Ult in and finish up the fight. We’ve got some changes coming — if you're sleeping on Ash now I don't think you'll be sleeping on her for much longer."

This excerpt further hints that Ash will be getting a major rework in Season 24. Both these factors have strongly caused the community to believe that the upcoming season could potentially be spearheaded by Assault legends.
