Apex Legends Season 21 Is Bringing a New Legend, Map Update, and Major Upheaval
Alter is ready to wreak havoc.
Even in a saturated genre, Apex Legends manages to retain its player base by consistently providing new content. In just five years, Respawn has launched 20 seasons for its title, and with each update, the developer brings something fresh in the form of characters, game modes, maps, and more.
Now that Apex Legends is set to enter Season 21, Electronic Arts has shared what players can expect from the upcoming chapter, and considering how it’s called Upheaval, it looks like the update will introduce new elements to keep the game going further.
Apex Legends Season 21 Launch Date and a New Trailer
Apex Legends recently received a gameplay trailer for its 21st season, and it’s being described as a chapter that’ll allow players “to upset the order” with a new legend who comes with her own powers, a fresh mode, and a map that’s been revamped. But for those wondering when Respawn will launch Season 21, it was revealed that it’ll begin the next chapter on May 7.
Disturbing the peace is the objective, which is why Apex Legends is introducing a Void Passage ability that’ll let players create portals through surfaces, making it much more convenient to move around the map and get to the action quickly.

The season also introduces a Gift From the Rift, which allows gamers to claim one item aside from armor by remotely interacting with a Deathbox.
Meet Alter, the Newest Apex Legend Who Comes With Void-Based Powers
To get to Apex Legends, Alter used Void tech that allows her to travel between dimensions, as the new trailer kicks off with her saying that “every world is the same.” Described by Electronic Arts as someone who does not really care about the consequences of always doing what she wants to, Alter has seen enough devastating destruction throughout her life, resulting in her letting go of all her morals and responsibilities.
Aside from her Tactical Void Passage power, she also comes with her own Ultimate ability called Void Nexus, which makes it easier for her squad members to get to her regardless of their initial position on the map.
The season is also making significant changes to the Broken Moon map, which comes with new Points of Interest and a more thrilling combat experience. Additionally, the update includes a Solos variation of the Takeover mode, new Artifacts, rotations, and a lot more.
Apex Legends has earned its place as a must-play battle royale title, and with the arrival of the latest season, now seems like the perfect time to give it a shot.
