When do we start? Apex Legends – Season 12 will start on February 8, 2022.

Sabotaged Olympus: The main focus of – Season 12 is the extensive changes to the map Olympus. It has been heavily “reworked” in many places by the new legend Mad Maggie herself (more info on her below).

Maggie causes a lot of chaos in her blind destructive rage by teleporting objects and buildings across the city. This means that you suddenly have to find your way around the supposedly familiar map in a completely new way – including new passages, shortcuts and secret paths.

New game mode “Control”: A new, time-limited mode will also find its way into the game with – Season 12. It is reminiscent of the Titanfall 2 mode Hardpoint, which is very popular among fans, and will be available for 3 weeks – i.e. until March 1, 2022.

Here two teams of 9 fight for certain points on the map, which you can bring under control. Thus points flow constantly on the team account. The first team to accumulate a total of 1250 points wins the round. Every now and then a zone on the map is marked as particularly lucrative and a countdown is started. The team that controls this zone after the timer expires can look forward to a big points bonus.

If you bite the dust while fighting for the control points, that’s no problem. You can always respawn and even change your equipment. This should encourage players to try out new loadouts in order to come up with their own strategies.

New Legend: Do you know Margaret Köhere? No? Then you will soon know her when you play Apex Legends, under her much better known name Mad Maggie. She’s now getting in on the action, and she can dish out some serious damage with her abilities. You can see more of Mad Maggie in a cinematic trailer created especially for her.

Changes to the balancing: You shouldn’t expect the entire game balance to be overhauled here. However, the developers emphasize that some weapons have been upgraded with a few new tricks to make them more attractive for players’ loadouts again.

3rd Birthday Celebrations: From the start of – Season 12, for three weeks you can dust off some rewards that you already get for logging into the game. These include playable characters along with several skins. In week 1 you get Octane, in week 2 you get Wattson and in the last week you get Valkyrie.

If you’re thinking about checking out the game again (or for the first time), we recommend you read our latest review. Because in the meantime, Apex Legends is a very different game than it was at release.
