Season 1 of Apex Legends is coming soon and brings new content with it. Our author and avid player Benedict is particularly looking forward to the new content.
Although I could never get into Battle Royale, Apex Legends captured and fascinated me right from the release. Even after over 100 hours, I still enjoy playing frequently, especially with friends.
Even though I often lose, I do not rage in Apex Legends. But after so much playtime, I have seen it all, and the drive after the spectacular start is a bit lacking. Right now, all I can do is fish for Wraith’s heirlooms by earning loot boxes unless I want to spend $500 like others.
With the upcoming Season and the Battle Pass, I expect a fresh breeze in Apex Legends that will enhance the already strong start with a significant boost.
What does Season 1 even bring?
What’s included in the first season: Apex Legends has already announced with a roadmap for 2019 what everything will happen in the first and upcoming Seasons. The new features include:
- New legends
- New weapons
- New loot
- possibly new maps that Respawn already has plans for
- a Battle Pass
There are already some hints regarding the new legends to come. The first new legend is likely to be Octane, whose abilities were apparently leaked recently. Also, other legends have already been found in the game files, some with their abilities.
New weapons include the Havoc, which has already appeared in the game. Other new weapons are expected to be the LMG L-STAR and the submachine gun CAR. However, speculation is only ongoing about both.
What does the Battle Pass bring? Exact details about the Battle Pass are not yet known. Some details about the Battle Pass have only revealed that it will likely be available in a free and a premium variant, similar to Fortnite.
Exact contents available to earn have yet to be announced. However, this will likely happen soon.
When will Season 1 be released? A specific start date has not yet been mentioned. Only “March 2019” is set as the timeframe. Some sites, like Gamestar, are already speculating that March 1 will be the start date for Season 1.
What I’m looking forward to the most
After so many hours in Apex Legends it still does not get boring, but a bit of variety is still missing. I have already extensively tested the Havoc, but it probably won’t become my primary weapon.
Therefore, I am especially looking forward to new content, particularly new legends. I think the system of legends and their unique abilities is top-notch and I can’t wait to see how new legends will fit into the game. This way, it is much more fun to play a new round since a different legend can change the otherwise monotonous gameplay.
Another highlight will be Solo and Duo modes, which there are already hints for and hopefully will arrive soon. Especially a duo mode excites me since I almost exclusively play with a friend. These modes could also significantly affect the tier list of legends and make weaker heroes like Caustic suddenly stronger.
What is currently more in the background for me, but will be important, are bug fixes. Apex Legends is currently still struggling with some technical difficulties and issues like varying hitbox sizes or cheating professionals. I am curious how these issues will be addressed and resolved in the future.
What will your highlights be for the first season of Apex Legends?
I am also very curious whether Respawn will buff the Mozambique or just continue enjoying the memes:
