EA and Respawn Entertainment present a brand new season for Apex Legends, which has captured the hearts of players of all ages! This season, called “From the Rift”, promises an experience as if you are getting into a time machine and going back to 2019. There is great news for those looking for a fast-paced and simple gaming experience!
Launch Royale: Old School is Back!
Let’s admit it, don’t we miss the old-time Apex Legends spirit? When it was first released in 2019, the game was quite different; There was no EVO armor, ability upgrades and many other innovations. Respawn Entertainment realized that players wanted to have a nostalgic experience and developed a new mode called Launch Royale. This mode promises to take players directly back to the beginning days.
Respawn says of this mode, “If you’re missing the old-school Apex vibe or want to see how it all began, now’s the perfect time to step into the birthplace of legends!” he said. Indeed, in this mode you will fight on a battlefield full of the original map, characters and weapons. Additionally, the rules are returning as they were in 2019, which is a treat for nostalgia enthusiasts!
Lifeline’s Innovations: Support Character is Now Stronger!
Support character Lifeline is getting a major overhaul this season! Players can now enjoy support with Lifeline’s DOC device. This device can now revive allies on its own and function like a glider. We know how fast you have to be to save lives, right?
Being able to both heal on the move and revive allies gives Lifeline new strategic depth. What’s more, Lifeline’s ultimate has also been improved! Damage-resistant rings around the DOC allow players to use healing items faster. So playing with Lifeline this season is a great way to not only support, but also keep your team alive!
Rift Relic: Kingdom of Spoils!
Meet the Rift Relic, a new type of loot available to players this season! These new trophies make you feel like you’re on a treasure hunt. It includes various features such as weapons with rocket jumping abilities and power-ups that can steal lives while damaging enemies. So, while you defeat your enemies, you will also have the opportunity to strengthen yourself!
- Rocket Jump Weapons: Strike fear into your enemies with high damage potential and mobility.
- Lifesteal Power-ups: Increase your chances of survival as you defeat your enemies.
- Rare Drops: Surprise your opponents with items with unique properties!
Other Updates and Patch Notes
The season update is not limited to just new modes and character revisions. Many balance changes and bug fixes affecting existing legendaries have also been made. Be sure to check out the full patch notes for the updates to see the details of these changes! Aiming to provide a great experience for both old and new players, these updates make the world of Apex Legends even more exciting.
In conclusion
Apex Legends: From the Rift became playable on Windows, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch platforms as of November 5.
