Apex Legends – Season 7, Ascension, is just around the corner and brings with it a new map, a new legend, clubs and the vehicle “The Trident”. The latter can transport a complete squad.

Apex Legends will receive a major update on November 4. Then – Season 7, Ascension, will launch and bring a lot of new features. Just yesterday Respawn Entertainment revealed another “Stories from the Outlands” video dedicated to the upcoming new Legend – Horizon.

What’s new in Ascension?

A New Legend – Horizon
Horizon is “a brilliant astrophysicist who escaped a black hole and wants to use her newfound mastery of gravity to make good on a promise.” She also has a very strong… Scottish accent. Her abilities are yet to be revealed, but we’ll probably get a glimpse of her before November 4.

A new map – Olympus
Rumors about Olympus as the next map in Apex Legends have been circulating for months, since the end of The Broken Ghost quest series. Olympus is a beautiful city in the clouds and you should definitely watch where you step. The special thing about the new map will be its size.

A vehicle – The Trident
Apex Legends will get its very first vehicle with – Season 7 – the Trident. Supposedly, it will be very helpful to cover the large distances on the new map. The best part is that it will fit your entire squad. Just imagine the possibilities! It gives us real Clone Wars vibes.

Clubs
The brand new Clubs feature was also teased earlier. It’s probably the developers’ vision of guilds, as they exist in many other multiplayer games that focus on the social aspect (WoW, etc.). We’re pretty sure that with clubs will come some new quests and rewards as well.

Steam Launch
Apex Legends has been out for more than a year and a half now, and in all that time there’s only been one question. Why isn’t it on Steam? During the EA Play event, the developers announced that both a Steam launch and cross-play are planned for this fall. So finally you’ll be able to play Apex Legends on Steam – let’s just hope that the Origin and Steam accounts can be connected as well, so we don’t have to start from scratch.

A new Battle Pass/New Ranked – Season .
Like every – Season before it, Ascension will have its own Battle Pass.You can expect over 100 exclusive rewards again, including packs, sprays, emotes and much more. Of course, there is also a new Ranked – Season and the associated soft reset.

What is actually… “Apex Legends?

Within 24 hours, “Apex Legends” became the most-watched game on Twitch – after one week, over 25 million people were already playing it. What is the battle royale shooter about?

What is “Apex Legends” about?

Scenario: In a distant future, bandits, adventurers, and outlaws settle their disputes in a sporting contest to the death. The setting is a fertile, industrially developed valley on the edge of the galaxy.

• Genre: Battle Royale shooter
• Game modes: survival battle between a maximum of 20 teams of three.

At its core, “Apex Legends” is a classic battle-royale shooter: up to 60 players land simultaneously in teams of three on the game map called “Kings Canyon” – a densely built-up, fertile valley with many accessible houses, bunkers and towers. Once on the ground, unarmed players must search their surroundings for equipment and ammunition. The goal of the game is to stay alive until the end.

To prevent players from hiding all over the map and waiting to automatically be the last one left, the game area shrinks every few minutes. The longer a round lasts, the smaller the area where survivors can move and hide.

Apex Legends refreshes this now classic game formula with some ideas that are unique to the genre: For example, before starting a round, players select one of eight heroes, each of which has two special abilities and facilitates certain play styles.

Bangalore, for example, is the classic soldier who can conceal her position with smoke grenades and call in an artillery strike in an emergency. The heroine Lifeline, on the other hand, can summon a drone to heal teammates – or directly order the delivery of high-value weapons and equipment via aerial drone. This way, all players can find the right hero for their preferred course of action.

How can I play Apex Legends?

Platform: “Apex Legends” is available for PC, Xbox One and Playstation 4.

Price: The battle royale shooter is a “Free to Play” title and can basically be played for free on all platforms.

In-game purchases: “Apex Legends” allows the purchase of cosmetic items and new heroes either by means of in-game currency, which can be earned for free in every round, or with real money. The real-money currency “Apex Coins” can be purchased in five different amounts: The smallest possible amount is 1000 Apex Points for around 9.99 euros, while the largest pack with 10,000 Apex Points content costs 99.99 euros.

The developer emphasizes that it is not possible to buy game advantages with the help of real money: You can only use it to customize the appearance of the heroes, it says, or purchase new heroes.

Age rating: “Apex Legends” does not have a youth rating (USK 18).

Which technical terms should you know?

Respawn Beacon: If a player is shot down, the team members who are still alive have the opportunity to bring the fallen comrade back into the game: Each eliminated player leaves behind a so-called Respawn Banner, which can be collected by the players of the own team and handed in at one of 28 Respawn Beacons, certain locations on the map. If this succeeds, the fallen player returns to the game.

Jumpmaster: At the beginning of the game, one of the maximum three players of a team always takes on the role of the jumpmaster. He decides when and where his team enters the game area.

Ping: Using the middle mouse button, players can alert their teammates to interesting locations in the game world or enemies. These pings are a valuable tool for communicating quickly and efficiently within the team.
