EA and Respawn Entertainment have revealed Revelry, the next major content beat for Apex Legends. The new content is expected to launch on February 14th. Fans can learn a lot about Revelry thanks to a new trailer and a developer diary.
According to the blog, developers are keen to shake things up and reset the meta. The goal is to make Apex Legends more accessible and more fun for both new and veteran players alike.
With that goal in mind, the post starts with the news that Legends will be divided into five classes: Assault, Recon, Skirmisher, Controller, and Support. Players will be able to opt for the class playstyle that best suits their personal preferences. According to developers, each class will have some meaningful and unique perks. In addition, new buffs and nerfs to several Legends will be deployed. Look for big changes to Lifeline, Seer, and Wrath. Developers will have more to say over the coming days.
Components of the Revelry update include:
- Team Deathmatch is coming to Apex Games for the first three weeks of the season
- Mixtape is a new permanent modes playlist featuring a rotation of TDM, Gun Run, and Control
- The Nemesis is a new energy weapon that will hopefully “unseat favorite standbys like the R-301 and Flatline”
- The first-time player experience has been overhauled
- The Anniversary Collection Event will take place in February: “We’re celebrating with the Anniversary Collection Event featuring an all-new community content reward track. These include login rewards during the first two weeks of the season. Week 1 will feature Crypto unlocked and one Crypto Thematic pack. Week two unlocks Ash plus one Ash Thematic pack for all players. Every map in the rotation will have special decorations. We’ll have the return of a fan favorite that we’ll reveal closer to the launch.”
