Season 13 is coming to Apex Legends. No question of worrying about superstitions at Respawn, which plans to provide us with quite a lot of new content for its hit Battle Royale.
[Mis à jour le 27 avril 2022 à 11h45] Respawn Entertainment continues its great momentum with the arrival of season 13 of Apex Legends. Presented in a stunning trailer, this new season brings us many changes in the Battle Royale to 13 million players. But not only that, we will also find a brand new legend, Newcastle, the second legend focused on protecting his allies. It features brand new gameplay offering new ways to enjoy Battle Royale. Discover all the new features of Season 13, the changes to the Storm Zone map and the new Newcastle legend in detail, a little further down in this article.
Season 13 of Apex Legends, admirably aptly named Rescue, will begin on May 10 and will be preceded by several story and gameplay trailers so that we can appreciate the extent of its novelties. We will find in particular the presentation of the new Newcastle legend on next April 28not.
new legend
We told you in the introduction, a new legend will enter the Apex games, it is Newcastle who is none other than Jackson, the lost and then found brother of Bangalore. Newcastle is a legend who specializes in supporting his team, with defensive skills that we could see some elements of in the trailer above. He has a shield allowing him to protect part of his hitbox, offers the opportunity to move while protecting injured allies, and can deploy a huge defensive wall, probably his ultimate skill.
New map
Storm Zone will be deeply modified by the arrival of the Rescue season in Apex Legends. The tropical map returns to the forefront with new facilities and bunkers full of loot and probably enemies, but also disfigured by various gigantic creatures, since struck down by unknown forces. We imagine that the beaches of the map will therefore be made more attractive by the presence of these gigantic carcasses, which will undoubtedly have to be explored in depth. Note also that Respawn has said that it wants to review the system of ranked games to “reward teamwork”. A system which had already been modified in season 11 and which will probably be further changed in depth.
It was requested as soon as 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.
