Apex Legends: Emergence Goes Live Tomorrow, Battle Pass Trailer & Patch Notes

Apex Legends: Emergence is going live tomorrow, August 3, with new Legend Seer, the Rampage LMG, Ranked Arenas, updates to World’s Edge and more. The Emergence Battle Pass will boast more rewards than ever before, making Legends even more of a spectacle and will have players spreading their wings as Valkyrie in her “Aerial Evolution” skin or shining bright with Horizon’s “Biotic Luminary” skin. Music Packs, Loading Screens, Skydive and Standing Emotes, Quips that let players personalize their experience even further. 

In addition, Respawn Entertainment also released a blog post today highlighting changes coming with Apex Legends: Emergence, which can be viewed on the official Apex Legends blog here. You can also check out details on the game-changing new Legend, weapon, map updates and more below:

  • New Legend Seer: With microdrones and an artist’s eye, Seer spots opportunities that other Legends might miss, and seizes them in the most beautiful way. The 18th Legend to enter the Apex Games, Seer’s addition more than doubles the roster of the initial eight Legends at launch, bringing an entirely unique set of abilities to the arena:

    • Passive – Heart Seeker: Visualize the heartbeats of nearby enemies when aiming down sights to get a clue to their location.

    • Tactical – Focus of Attention: Summon microdrones to emit a delayed blast that goes through walls, silencing and revealing enemies (and their health bars!), plus interrupting their actions.

    • Ultimate – Exhibit: Create a sphere of microdrones that reveal the footsteps of enemies moving quickly or firing their weapons within.

    • Class Passive – Recon: Scanning survey beacons reveals the next circle’s location. 

  • Map Update: After months of aggressive mining by the Harvester on World’s Edge, the land is overmined, overburdened and pushed to its limit. Hammond is scrambling to contain the damage they’ve caused using weather-controlling machines: the Climatizer rapidly cools the surrounding area to subzero temperatures, and a Lava Siphon stabilizes the caldera. 

  • New Weapon – Rampage: Rampart’s latest creation, the Rampage LMG, blasts onto the scene as a high-powered heavy ammo option. The Rampage excels at mid-range combat and its specially designed chamber allows it to charge up by loading a thermite grenade to overclock the fire rate.

  • Ranked Arenas: With the launch of Emergence, Respawn is introducing Ranked Arenas. Players begin in 10 placement matches where their performance determines their initial Match Marking Rank (MMR) and starting rank. Arenas is a head-to-head fight between two teams of three, so awarding Ranked Arenas Points is more cut-and-dry than in the 20 team Battle Royale. 

  • New Arenas to Conquer: The Arenas map rotation gets another refresh with three new POI’s that will rotate throughout the season including Hillside, Dome and Oasis. With over 10 maps now available as part of the ongoing three map rotation, Arenas continues to evolve. 

Apex Legends: Emergence launches tomorrow, August 3 for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Origin and Steam.
