Today’s Apex Legends gameplay reveal trailer showed off next season’s big changes to the World’s Edge map, new skins for the upcoming battle pass, and more. The changes to World’s Edge, known as Decimated World’s Edge, include a complete rework of several map areas and major graphical updates. In addition to the new Rampage LMG weapon, which uses grenades as ammo, next season will feature new skins for Valkyrie, Lifeline, Horizon, and more.

Apex Legends: Emergence Gameplay Trailer

Under the lore guise of a major climate disaster, World’s Edge has changed significantly. The Refinery area has been replaced with an area known as Climatizer, which brings significantly more loot and more areas to fight over. A large river of lava now runs all the way from Climatizer to Fragment East, making it more difficult to cross between zones. Sorting Factory has been replaced by Lava Siphon, which provides more of the walkable lava terrain.

Valkyrie models a new horned purple skin.

Finally, Train Yard has been affected by a landslide, which has destroyed most of the existing buildings and forces players to fight out in the open more. In addition to these zone changes, Respawn is bringing back the spirit of the original map’s trains with new rideable gondolas.

Apex Legends season 10 launches on August 3.

A highlight of the recently released Call of Duty: Warzone Season 4 update is the new Fortune's Keep map, which has temporarily taken the place of Rebirth Island. It's a stunning creation by High Moon Studios, offering blisteringly fast-paced gameplay, with tons of different ways to get around and beautiful visuals that will no doubt keep players engaged. This map likely won't pull you in if you aren't already a Warzone player, but those who have been looking for a reason to come back will be impressed.
