Respawn has launched Apex Legends Season 3 – Meltdown, transporting players to World’s Edge, the all-new arena on Planet Talos which continues to evolve the game’s dynamic and competitive gameplay. The new season also introduces Crypto and his strategic hacking abilities to the competition, the new Charge Rifle weapon, a new Battle Pass packed with rewards and skins to collect and much more.
A breakdown of the new features in Apex Legends Season 3 – Meltdown for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via Origin can be found below:
-
Drop into the New Arena — World’s Edge: Champions have been transported into an abandoned industrial settlement that has been conquered by nature. Tense urban combat gameplay heats up in Season 3 and players will find all kinds of new things to discover. The Apex Legends Season 3 – Meltdown launch trailer sets up the competition at World’s Edge — where molten heat and chemical ice collide.

A New Legend Enters the Arena – Crypto: Originally known as Tae Joon Park, Crypto shed his identity and was forced into hiding after being framed for espionage and murder. Since then, he has used his expertise in engineering and robotics to provide intel and disable traps set by his enemies. Whether Crypto is using a drone for surveillance or disabling enemy defenses with an EMP blast, this new Legend is one players should be watching out for — unless he isn’t watching them first. Get a first-look at Crypto’s story in his lore video “Forever Family.”
