The battle royale shooter Apex Legends delights its fans in various ways. Soon, the old map Kings Canyon and the duo mode will be permanent. Moreover, a new event featuring the character Bloodhound will be launched.
What is new in Apex Legends? Currently, fans of Apex Legends have a lot to celebrate. The developers have fulfilled 2 wishes and are bringing the following innovations:
- The duo mode is coming back permanently
- There will now be a map rotation, allowing you to play the old map Kings Canyon again
In addition, there will be a limited-time “city takeover event” where you take down monsters to get extra loot and unlock unique rewards.
Duo mode, old map rotation, and new event
What is the deal with the map and the duo mode? Since Apex Legends got its new map World’s Edge, fans have simultaneously demanded that they should also be able to play the old map “King’s Canyon”. However, this was only possible for certain events for a short period, which frustrated many players.
The same applies to the popular duo mode. Traditionally, there is only a trio mode in Apex Legends, where you always compete with 2 other players. Solo and duo modes were only available for certain events and also strictly time-limited. Fans have long shouted, “Bring back the duo mode permanently!”
And that is exactly what the developers have now decided. The duo mode and the old map should soon permanently come into the game. This radically changes the gameplay of Apex Legends, as the duo mode plays differently than in threes. And those who were better with the old map will likely find more success again.
What’s in the event? Additionally, fans of Apex Legends will receive a new event. It is called “the old customs” and refers to the character Bloodhound. He received an epic background video that fans celebrate as well.
On behalf of Bloodhound, you will protect a place in the northwest of the map World’s Edge from a horde of Prowlers during the event. So, it is a PvE event in a battle royale game. As a reward, you will get strong loot, but there are also dangers from sneaky players who might surprise you in battle.
By participating in the event, you can also unlock further rewards. You can earn these in addition to the battle pass from Season 4. Additionally, you will be offered special skins for direct purchase in the shop.
When are the innovations coming? According to the developers, the map rotation, duo mode, and the event should go live on Tuesday, April 7, 2020. This time, the map and the duo mode will stay permanently in the game, but the Bloodhound event is supposed to end on April 21.
Is this really true? Apex Legends has trolled its fans in the past by deliberately spreading false information to annoy data miners. But this time, it doesn’t seem to be a joke. So you can look forward to the innovations on April 7, 2020.
