This article explores the highlights of the Season 23 trailer, breaking down the visual elements and detailing the innovative features that players can look forward to.
New Features in Apex Legends Season 23 Trailer
Revamped Lifeline
The new Season 23 trailer reintroduces Lifeline with significant enhancements. As a Support Legend, Lifeline now incorporates a more aggressive toolkit that allows her to defend while healing allies. The gameplay mechanics showcased include:
- Combat Glide: Mid-air, holding the jump button enables Lifeline to glide briefly, and she can deploy her D.O.C. to revive teammates while maintaining a defensive stance.
- D.O.C. Heal Drone: This drone provides healing to nearby allies and can be commanded to follow specific teammates once deployed.
- D.O.C. Halo: This innovative ability allows Lifeline to throw her D.O.C. drone to activate a protective Halo Shield System, enabling all players within to consume Health & Shield items at an accelerated pace.
With major upgrades, Lifeline’s D.O.C. drone now features gliding capabilities and can create a formidable Halo Shield—a circular barrier that deflects all projectiles and is resistant to damage.
Introducing Rift Relics
The trailer also introduces Rift Relics, enigmatic items that will appear randomly throughout matches. Players must destroy these relics to claim the valuable items or weapons they drop, with the trailer indicating that over 25 distinct Rift Relics will feature this season, including notable weapons like the EPG-1 Launcher.
Kings Canyon and the Launch Royale Mode
Lastly, the trailer takes players on a nostalgic journey back to 2019 with the return of Kings Canyon as part of a new Limited Time Mode called Launch Royale. This mode recreates the original Apex Legends experience, complete with the initial rules, abilities, and classic weapons. Players will find themselves without EVO armor or upgraded abilities, prompting them to rely solely on skill and experience. Completing challenges within Launch Royale will yield rewards and unlock Legends.
Mark your calendars, as Apex Legends Season 23 officially goes live on November 5, 2024.
