Season 22 of Apex Legends drops on August 6 with huge changes to the long-running battle royale. The latest season, titled Shockwave, brings a nighttime neon city map, a modified battle system, and plenty of quality-of-life changes to shake up the Outlands. i1a5b

Season 21 of Apex Legends is preparing to deliver a villainous new legend, gameplay tweaks, map changes, and the return of the long-requested Solo mode. Respawn Entertainment has consistently delivered terrific experiences with the Titanfall franchise and Star Wars Jedi series. For the last five years, Apex Legends has maintained a dedicated fanbase for its intense FPS battle royale. While the new update doesn't look to make things any more welcoming to new fans, it should make its hardcore audience happy.

Thanks to its latest crossover event, Apex Legends is introducing the Buster Sword from Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. Not only is this iconic weapon coming in as an Heirloom that can be equipped on any legend, but the Buster Sword R2R5 variant is also being introduced as a weapon you can wield in the battle royal arena. However, you must act quickly if you wish to get your hands on either version, as they're only available for a limited time.

In contrast to the darker and more mysterious tone of season 19, Apex Legends is bringing back some levity with season 19, Ignite, due in part to its newest legend, Conduit. Alongside the introduction of a new legend, the team at Respawn has implemented a number of changes including map redesign and balancing. Unlike previous seasons, however, the team chose not to touch every part of the Apex Legends experience, but instead focused on making impactful adjustments to specific areas.

Season 18 ofApex Legends, dubbed"Resurrection,"is bringing a lot of new things to the table. Like any new season, there are quality of life changes like matchmaking tweaks, refining ranked gameplay, balancing weapons and abilities, and so on. However, what makes this season particularly interesting is its focus on storytelling; both through in-game missions and events, as well as through a serialized miniseries called "Kill Code."

As Apex Legends enters its 17th season, a number of changes and additions are on their way. These significant adjustments won't affect only the game's meta, but the systems that run the entire experience, too, resulting in perhaps one of the most important updates in recent memory.

For its fifteenth season, Apex Legends is traveling to the devastated moon of Cleo, with players set to pick landing spots and battle on Broken Moon, the game’s first new battle royale map in nearly a year. Expansive and dangerous, Broken Moon features many unique locations for players to explore, many of which are truly massive in scope. Players dropping into Apex Legends’ fifth map will have to deal not only with their opponents but with highly complex, sprawling points of interest that present new tests of players’ traversal, teamwork, and sheer fighting skill. After returning to a revamped and reforged King’s Canyon in Apex Legends last season, the Apex Games have moved into a far stranger arena.

The Golden Ticket is a limited-time craftable item in Apex Legends that can be made at a Replicator for Materials ×125. Once crafted, it will spawn a gold Fully Kitted Weapon with a pack of correlating ammunition. The ticket will also appear beside the golden armament, but it will disappear within 50 seconds if not picked up. When hovering over the Golden Ticket in the Replicator in Apex Legends, a mysterious message will appear that reads, "A ticket to see the future home of Apex Games."

In Respawn’s battle royale Apex Legends, teamwork is absolutely crucial as players try to outsmart their competition - but recently, an influx of people have been urging the game’s developers to include a solo queue mode. Just as in any team-based FPS game, there are players who queue with their friends, and there are players who queue alone. However, as many solo players have discovered, the current design of Apex Legends' ranked system might unfairly favor those who queue with others, regardless of their ability to synergize with a team.

After being reworked behind the scenes, Apex Legends’original King’s Canyon map has finally returned to the game in Season 14: Hunted, with several new locations and optimal landing spots for players to explore. Respawn Entertainment’s battle royale is still going strong with its latest season promising plenty of new additions to the game. This includes the introduction of new Recon Legend Vantage, a brand-new battle , and several much-needed balance tweaks to weapons and Legends alike. Despite fresh rumors going around about a single-player spinoff Apex Legends title, the Apex community’s eyes remain firmly on the Reforged King’s Canyon map, the latest battleground for the game’s newest season.
