Apex Legends is constantly being expanded and developed, which of course means we’re always getting new content. Whatever that may be, a new map is by far the most exciting thing when it comes to updates. Recently, there was a leak about a map called Divded Moon.
In the past few days, there has been one Apex Legends leak after another. Just recently, a game tester leaked several Legends at once. More specifically, all of them that will be released by – Season 21! Now there was some news about a Battle Royale map that is currently in development. The best part? It’s not just screenshots we got of the new map called “Divided Moon”, but a whole walkthrough that goes over 6 minutes and shows us every corner of the map. Here’s everything we know so far!
Where is “Divided Moon” set?
The name alone gives a good impression. “Divided Moon” seems to be on a moon that is broken for some reason. The whole map looks very rugged and rocky. On at least one side it even ends in empty space. There you could simply throw yourself off the map and fall into nothingness. It’s entirely up to you – float around in space for eternity or take on a 1-on-3?
Another clue that the map is actually set on a moon can be found simply by looking up at the sky. There you can see a breathtaking space scenery. So that means the atmosphere must be pretty thin. I can’t wait to see what it all looks like when it’s finished! Once you’re in the game, though, keep your eyes on the map. So here’s a little overview.
How far along is Divided Moon in development?
To be honest, it seems like it will be a while before the map is ready for the live servers. Many parts of the map are in different stages development-wise. Some POI’s are pretty far along, like “Cultivation”, which you can also see on the cover image. Other locations, however, don’t even have textures for their models yet. The “Terraformer”, for example, still looks pretty desolate.
So it’s definitely not finished yet. At least not at the stage we were able to examine in the leaks. Respawn still seems to be quite far away from the finishing touches. But we are already curious to see what the map will look like in the end, that much is certain.
When will Divided Moon be released?
Keep in mind that all this information comes from leaks uploaded to the ApexUncovered subreddit. So, there is no official statement from Respawn or even Electronic Arts yet. So we can only make assumptions.
However, we do have some clues to work with. Respawn Entertainment has a regular schedule when it comes to releases of new maps. They are usually released every four – Season s. The last map we got was Storm Point in – Season 11, so now we’re in – Season 12, which would mean that the new map will be in the game with the start of – Season 15. That’s scheduled to start in November 2022, so there’s still more than enough time to turn Divided Moon into a cool new setting!
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.
