Apex Legends seasonal updates and news

Discover the latest updates in the world of Apex Legends,
including new Seasons, events and more.

Grab the squad, because the Games have a whole new energy!

Season 22: Shockwave

Drop back into the fight with Free Respawns, Battlesense to highlight enemies, and light up the new map E-District, a neon playground built for verticality and close-quarters action.

And for more shocking news: Akimbo P2020s and Mozambiques galvanise the battlefield to double up on your firepower. Plus, we’re making the Games legendary for all Bot Royale and new Class Perks. Finally, turn up the voltage with the Shockwave Battle Pass Split 2 and work toward the Reactive P2020.

Time to shock the Outlands, Legend – Tap In.

What's new in
Apex Legends: Shockwave?

Free Respawns

Stay in the Games with Unlimited Free Respawns until the end of Round 4! Here’s the deal: you and your squad will always be recharged with revivals, as long as you’ve got at least one squad mate alive. Just wait a minimum of 30 seconds (with time increasing with each round) to automatically start a Drop-In Sequence near the safest teammate.

Battlesense

Feel your power surge with visible Enemy Health Bars and Highlights! When you damage an enemy, a health bar appears above their head for a short time. But lose line of sight and it’ll disappear. And if an enemy is nearby, they’ll automatically be highlighted with intensity amping as they get closer. Now that’ll really light ‘em up.

New map: E-District

We’re goin’ up! Raise the voltage in E-District, our new close-quarters map built for verticality and continuous action. Scale skyscrapers and roar through alleyways, because every block of this high-rise battleground tells a story, and yours is written in lead. So grab the squad and get vertical, because you’ve got a neon playground where anything can and will happen. Go off and play.

New weapon: Akimbo

Go in with both guns blazing! You can now dual-wield P2020s and Mozambiques - just grab two of the same weapon and you’ll automatically double up on your firepower. And if you want to stow the second gun (why though?) just hit Toggle Fire. Now these two weapons will take their rightful place in your circuit of killing machines - and highlight clips.
