Respawn has officially announced Apex Legends Season 9, titled Legacy, and is set to launch on May 4. With the announcement, nosotros got a glimpse into everything new coming to Apex Legends next season, including the new Legend, weapon, and changes to the Olympus map.

New fable – Valkyrie

The newest entry into the Apex Legends playable roster is Valkyrie, a immature, advised, and undeniably talented pilot with a deep narrative connection to the Titanfall universe. While Valkyrie'southward abilities have not been officially showcased notwithstanding, many of them have been fabricated manifest through her advent in trailers. Valkyrie will exist able to wing and shower enemies with micro rockets using a rig made from her male parent's salvaged Northstar.

Earlier you recall she volition play like a Titan, yous should remember this is Apex Legends, and gameplay revolves almost exclusively around gunplay. Her abilities, while powerful and flashy on newspaper, are secondary to her hitbox, which appears to be rather small. For that reason alone, we expect Valkyrie to be a strong fable right out of the gate.

New weapon – Bocek Bow

Season 9 of Apex Legends will introduce the game'southward starting time bow: the Bocek Bow. According to Respawn's official description, this high-tech compound bow will exist tremendously powerful at medium range and require a degree of skill to use. We don't know what weapon form the Bocek Bow will fit under, but nosotros can already come across it has a mount for optics.

If nosotros had to gauge, we would expect this to be a floor weapon that uses sniper ammo, although it's just as probable that Respawn puts this one in the Care Packet, and restores the Prowler to the regular loot pool.

Map changes – Infested Olympus

One of the biggest shake-ups we get in every Noon Legends season is the map changes. Respawn either introduces brand new maps or rework an existing map, which is the case with Season ix. Legacy will run into Olympus, the most cute and unique Noon Legends arena, undergo a large transformation, as its futuristic architecture gives mode to floral infestation.

Infested Olympus will see its cityscape taken over past invasive overgrowth, with roots and vegetation blocking off some areas, opening upward others for new rotation routes, and changing the mode players approach gainsay on this Apex Legends map.
