Apex Legends Season 21: Upheaval is set to introduce Alter, a mysterious character described as a “villain” by Respawn. Alter comes from a different dimension and has a shady past as an interdimensional assassin. Her background remains shrouded in mystery, as she only reveals what she wants others to know. Despite her unreliable narration, one verifiable fact is that she is fluent in Cantonese. Alter’s fixation on the Legend Horizon hints at potential world-shattering events to come in Season 21.
One of the biggest surprises of Season 21 is the return of Solos Mode, replacing Duos Mode for the first six weeks. The decision to bring back Solos stems from player demand and the development team’s desire to explore the concept further. New features in Solos Mode include fully-kitted weapons and a Respawn Token, giving players a second chance if they are eliminated.
Map Revamp: Broken Moon
Broken Moon gets a much-needed makeover in Season 21 with the replacement of Promenade by a new POI called Quarantine Zone. The revamp aims to address loot deserts and improve squad rotations. Mutated foliage and a new skybox reflect the aftermath of a recent collision with the stasis net satellite. The discovery of unknown alien eggs led to the creation of Quarantine Zone to contain any potential threat. The new aesthetic changes make Broken Moon unique with vibrant colors and abundant alien plant life.
One significant change in Season 21 is the reworking of Newcastle’s Castle Wall ultimate ability. The ability now blocks both grenades and bullets, enhancing its defensive capabilities. Legends like Catalyst and Crypto are receiving buffs this season, while minor tweaks are being made to Bloodhound, Fuse, and Octane. The full details of these changes will be revealed in the Upheaval patch notes.
Apex Legends Season 21: Upheaval brings a mix of exciting new content, including a mysterious new Legend, the return of Solos Mode, a map revamp, and changes to Legend abilities. With Alter’s enigmatic background, the reimagined Broken Moon map, and gameplay updates, Season 21 promises to be a thrilling experience for players. Stay tuned for more details as the season unfolds.
