Enjoy this sneak peek at new details for our next season Apex Legends: Revelry from Game Director Steven Ferreira and Design Director Evan Nikolich!
We’re excited to share some of the things we’ll be debuting in Apex Legends when Revelry launches on February 14th. Over the last four years, we’ve seen millions of players join the Apex Games, and we appreciate all the support and amazing moments players have given us.
This year we’re going to shake things up and reset the playing field, making Apex Legends more accessible than ever whether you’re coming back or playing Apex for the first time. There’s something for everyone. Nothing is safe and there are going to be some pretty significant changes that we’ve been working on for a while.
REMASTERED LEGEND CLASSES
We’ve been introducing a new Legend every season and this year we wanted to take a break from releasing a new Legend, you’ll see new Legends in the future but for now, we wanted to see how the core Legends could evolve the ways players have been using them. This season we’ll be adjusting all Legends and introducing a rework to our Class system that we’re calling “Remastered Legend Classes”.
There will be 5 Classes:
- Assault
- Recon
- Skirmisher
- Controller
- Support
Each class will now have some kind of meaningful, unique perk—whether that be the way a Legend can interact with new loot bins or new ways to revive teammates.
We’ll also be introducing a few buffs and nerfs across several Legends including Lifeline, Seer, and Wraith. We’ll share full details on Legend changes when we release the patch notes closer to Revelry’s launch.
TEAM DEATHMATCH, A ROTATING MODE PLAYLIST, AND A NEW WEAPON!
First, we want to talk about Arenas. At its core, Apex Legends is a Battle Royale and the team wants to help players master the core game mode, and in its current state Arenas is not meeting our goals.
But we’re excited to announce that at the launch of Revelry, we’ll be debuting Team Deathmatch to the Apex Games. Available for the first 3 weeks of the season, TDM has been our community’s most requested mode and we’re excited to be delivering this at launch.
We’ve also heard from our players that they want a permanent modes playlist and we’re thrilled to announce that in early March we will be releasing Mixtape.
Featuring a rotation of TDM, Gun Run, and Control, we see Mixtape as a great way for players to test out a new Legend, practice their skills, and just experience that signature Apex Legends gameplay in real combat situations with little downtime between fights.
It’s been a while since we unleashed a new weapon and the wait will be over when Revelry launches with a new energy weapon: The Nemesis. We’re hoping to see this potentially unseat favorite standbys like the R-301 and Flatline.
2023 IS THE TIME TO JOIN THE APEX GAMES
If you are a new player, this year is a great time to get into Apex Legends. We are overhauling everything for the first-time player experience. We’ll be making improvements to the Firing Range, adding in Dummy strafing and stats tracking.
Specifically for our new players, we’ll be adding Bots to our matches so players can get their feet under them and a new Orientation Match system. Our goal with Orientation Matches is to create a lower-pressure environment where new players can get their bearings, learn the core mechanics, and have a little more space to breathe while they learn how to play Apex Legends. New players can play solo, or bring along friends, to play a handful of Orientation Matches primarily against bots before being put into the normal matchmaking queues.
ANNIVERSARY COLLECTION EVENT
This month is also the 4th Anniversary of Apex Legends and we’re celebrating with the Anniversary Collection Event featuring an all-new community content reward track and lots of celebrations happening in the game including login rewards† during the first two weeks of the season, with week one featuring Crypto unlocked and one Crypto Thematic pack for all players that login, and week two unlocking Ash plus one Ash Thematic pack for all players that login. Also, every map in the rotation will have special decorations and we’ll have the return of a fan favorite that we’ll reveal closer to the launch.
