Summary
Apex Legendshas had an interesting 2023. For the first time,Apexhad a season without a legend—two seasons, in fact. No new map and half the regular number of new legends has left many players viewing the year as underwhelming. Despite this, the game has seen sweeping balance changes, reworks, and the introduction of Mixtape mode—a fitting replacement forApex Legends' Arenas.
2024 will kick off with the ending ofApex Legends’Uprising event; the Revenant Uprising LTM will cease January 1st 2024 and the collection event as a whole will end January 2nd. With how little content was released in 2023, many have been worried about the state of the game. While there’s reason to be concerned about whether new content will keep falling behind, the changes made in 2023 (especially the reworking of Season 16) have setApexup for future success in 2024.
Apex Legends' Biggest Collaboration Yet Kicks Off 2024
January 9th 2024 will see anApexcrossover event withFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirth. Though its unclear whether the Buster Sword wielded by Crypto in the trailer will even be an attainable item, there arethree confirmedFinal Fantasyskins coming toApex. These are Crypto as Cloud Strife, Horizon as Aerith Gainsborough, and Wraith as Vincent Valentine.
Undoubtedly, this event is abig deal forApex Legends. The game has been picking up more collaborations, such as this year’s Post Malone event, but thisFinal Fantasycrossover will give the title a huge boost. As competitors such asFortniteandMortal Kombat 1pull off bigger and bigger collaborations,Apexrisks being left behind. It’s not necessary for every game to be a congelation of franchises, but it’s useful for titles that want a stranglehold on the zeitgeist.Apex Mobile’s closing earlier this year proves that the series is far from invincible, so measures to maintain relevance will be useful.
Apex Legends Season 20-23: Confirmed Information, Release Patterns, and More
According to the title’s in-game timer, Season 20 ofApex Legendsshould kick off February 13th 2024 (barring any unforeseen circumstances). Given the trend in release dates for prior years, Season 21 should arrive in May, Season 22 should come August, and Season 23 will likely drop in November or late October. With Season 19 bringing thelong-awaited feature of cross progression toApex, there are hopes that these seasons will add other much-requested changes (such as a fix to audio bugs and numerous reworks).
Apex Legends 2024’s Map Rumor
Leaks surroundingApexhave frequently been proven rightbefore, so it’s important to heed information from trusted dataminers. The big rumor going around now is that the next map (purportedly named ‘District’) will be a city withTitanfall-themed wall-running segments. There’s a lot pointing to this map potentially coming in 2024. More Titanfall references have crept intoApexas of late (such as new legend Conduit’s backstory) and the lack of a new map in 2023 increases the likelihood of one coming in 2024.
The Fallout Of Kill Code Could Have Huge Ramifications
Apex’s 4-part ‘Kill Code’ series of animated shorts saw the death of Duardo Silva, the series' central antagonist, as well as Revenant becoming an undisputed villain. The status quo has been permanently altered, and this will likely spill over into the story of other legends, particularly those that have been out of the spotlight during the double-season story arc. A focus shift could also spurna rework for a differentApexcharacter.
Year 4 Of The Apex Legends Global Series Will Kick Off
Split 1 of the ALGS will begin January 20th-21st 2024. A few key shifts come with ALGS Year 4, such as the invitation of two teams from China to Split 1’s playoffs. Moreover, South America will no longer be represented by the Pro League but by the South American Challenger Circuit. In relation to this,Disguised Esports will be expanding toApex.
