Apex Legends

Apex Legends is a free-to-play game developed by Respawn Entertainment and published by Electronic Arts. It was first released in February 2019 for PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One, followed by Nintendo Switch in March 2021, and PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S in March 2022. A mobile version, Apex Legends Mobile, launched in May 2022 for Android and iOS devices.

Players team up in squads of two or three before each match, choosing from a variety of characters called "Legends," each with unique abilities. The game offers two modes: "Battle Royale," where squads compete to be the last team standing on a shrinking island, and "Arenas," a 3v3 team deathmatch mode.

Apex Legends is set in the same universe as Respawn's Titanfall series, and its surprise release in 2019 garnered positive reviews for its gameplay, progression system, and blend of genres. It quickly gained a large player base, becoming one of the most popular games worldwide.

Apex Legends Season 21 release date

Apex Legends Season 21, titled "Upheaval", is set to launch on May 7th for all platforms. As Apex Legends Season 20 wraps up, players are getting ready for what's coming next in Apex Legends Season 21, which will arrive sooner than expected on May 7th for all platforms.

Season 20 has been quite memorable, with incidents like the ALGS hack and issues with in-game progress getting lost, keeping Respawn busy with unexpected challenges. According to the battle pass, Apex Legends Season 21 is set to start immediately after Season 20 ends on May 6.

While Respawn hasn't officially announced the launch date for the next season, hints from the in-game battle pass suggest an early May release.
