Apex Legends Season 22 is fast approaching, and Respawn Entertainment has unveiled some exciting details. Here’s a breakdown of what to expect:
Apex Legends Season 22 Release Date
Season 22 is expected to kick off right after Season 21, currently known as “Upheaval,” wraps up. Based on the Battle Pass counter and typical season length, Season 21 is estimated to end around August 5, 2024, putting the launch of Season 22 sometime shortly after.
Legendary Mania
Data miners uncovered hints of a “Mania” themed season, potentially including legendary skins for a swathe of Legends: Wattson, Ballistic, Bangalore, Gibraltar, Mad Maggie, Newcastle, Octane, Valkyrie, and Wraith. Epic skins with the same theme are also rumored for Wattson, Maggie, Conduit, and Alter.
Lifeline Gets a Revive
On the Legend front, leaks suggest a potential rework for Lifeline, codenamed “Lifeline Revived.” This rework, which might arrive in Season 22 or 23, could introduce a new glide mechanic with her passive, a revamped D.O.C. Heal Drone that follows teammates, and a brand new ultimate called “Shockbot 3000” that throws a destructive bot into the fray. Remember, this is all speculation for now, so take it with a grain of salt.
District: A New Map on the Horizon?
Leaks suggest a brand new map called “District” might be coming in Season 22. First hinted at in the 2023 animated short “Kill Code Part 4,” District has been a hot topic among fans. Leaked images showcase a vibrant, neon-lit cityscape, a stark contrast to the existing maps. While Respawn hasn’t confirmed it yet, the prospect of an urban battleground has players buzzing with anticipation.
Battle Pass Rework
The biggest news is the revamped Battle Pass system. Instead of one 100-level pass per season, there will be two 60-level passes. While the price remains $10, these passes can only be purchased with real money, ditching the option to use Apex Coins (AC).
For those seeking a faster grind with exclusive rewards, a new “Premium+” option is available. This $20 tier grants 10 unlocked levels, 2 year-exclusive legendary skins, 10 Exotic Shards, and access to all Legends during the Battle Pass duration.
This change has sparked mixed reactions. Players appreciate the quicker access to top rewards, but some feel it’s a money-grab by Respawn.
That’s all the intel we have for now, Legends! Stay tuned for more official announcements from Respawn as Apex Legends Season 22 approaches.
