Respawn Entertainment has revealed the content for Apex Legends Season 12. Dissidence, that’s its name, is coming very soon and brings with it a new legend and a brand new game mode. Details in this article
[Mis à jour le 25 janvier 2021 à 15h07] After a brief and intense stay in the tropics of the Escape season, Apex Legends approaches more… explosive horizons for its twelfth season. Dissidence begins in a few days and will be an opportunity for many Battle Royale players to discover both a new legend and a new game mode. Season 12 therefore brings something new to the frenzied fights of one of the most popular FPS of recent years. In addition, the map that will be at the heart of this new season will be Olympus, the third map of the Battle Royale, which will be profoundly changed if we are to believe the official announcement from Respawn. It is true that we had devilishly missed the flying city.
We told you in the introduction, Respawn is planning a lot of new features for this twelfth season of Apex Legends. Dissidence will therefore be an opportunity to discover a new legend, Mad Maggie, whose real name is Margaret Kohêre. This rebel without faith or law is presented to us in the video above, where we discover her explosive and protesting nature, since her early childhood in the region of Salvo. Convicted many times for her crimes and dissenting actions, she finds herself forced to participate in Apex Legends games to serve her sentence. There she will find her old friend Fuse. For the moment, no information has been revealed about his active and passive skills.
The other major change in Season 12 is the arrival of a new game mode in the Apex Legends Playlist. This is the “Control” mode which pits teams of nine players against each other in a conquest-style deathmatch where the objective is to capture key points. Great novelty, the reappearances of legends are unlimited, for an experience closer to a classic multiplayer FPS than a Battle Royale. A welcome addition to familiarize yourself with the weapons, movement and gunplay of this rather demanding Battle Royale. A mode that could already be found in another form on the mobile version of Apex Legends.
In addition, the map that will be at the center of this new season of ranked games is none other than Olympus. Absent from last season’s rotations, the third map ever released on Apex Legend returns to center stage in a modified version if we are to believe Respawn’s words: “Something has changed in the floating city… But what ?”. Again, no visual presentation of these changes at this time, but we expect more information from Respawn in the coming days. Besides the Olympus map, the Season 12 patch is expected to bring balance changes to some champions, with all eyes on Crypto, the recon legend who would need a little polish to become viable in Arena as well. than in Battle Royale.
Dissent starts on February 8 next. A twelfth season that players and professionals are waiting for in this service game which regularly reaches 13 million players per week, players attracted by its unique style and its particularly demanding gunplay. As for the detailed information of season 12, Respawn gives us an appointment on January 27 for the reveal of the season 12 trailer, presenting both the skills of the new Mad Maggie, but also the new version of ‘Olympus and Control mode.
It was requested when the game was released in 2019, crossplay was finally implemented on Apex Legends in October 2020, and has since been active by default on all platforms. It does not affect your solo games, but defines the type of players you encounter when playing in squads with your friends. If you are all on the same platform, the players in front of you should mostly use the same console. If you are on different consoles, your lobbies will be populated by a mix of players from different platforms. Console players can optionally disable crossplay in game options.
