'Apex Legends' Eclipse Update Will Introduce Catalyst Character, Scheduled For Nov. 1st - Trailer

Set in the Titanfall universe, Apex Legends is a free to play battle royale game with a cast of unique characters, squad-based gameplay, innovative mechanics and more.

Apex Legends delivers a squad-based battle royale experience with a uniquely Respawn flavor. Players will select from one of eight Legends - each with their own unique abilities and playstyles - and the last team standing wins. Combatants can choose from unique characters like Bloodhound, the tracker who can see recent enemy activity on the map, or Lifeline, a battlefield medic who can shield teammates and bring them back from the brink of death. Balanced squads and teamwork are critical, as each Legend is easy to pick up and learn, but challenging to master.

Apex Legends showcases several new genre-leading innovations, starting before players even start the match. Once players are ready to begin, they’ll choose their drop point with the Jumpmaster system, giving each squad full control over exactly where they drop in. Is it smarter to head straight for the most valuable loot and risk early conflict with other teams, or make for one of the outlying areas to plot an attack and let other squads pick each other off?

Today, EA and Respawn revealed Apex Legends: Eclipse, the next major update to the award-winning hero shooter, which will launch worldwide on November 1. Eclipse introduces Catalyst, a new defensive Legend with remarkable, almost magical, control over ferrofluid.

Look into the crystals and discover Catalyst's past in the first trailer for Apex Legends: Eclipse. As a teenager on Boreas, Catalyst and her coven of friends vowed to protect Cleo, the moon of Boreas, but what happened next left her wanting answers that the crystals did not have.

Learn more about how Catalyst became determined to bring change and defend her home in the above “Stories from the Outlands: Eclipse” trailer.

More details for Apex Legends: Eclipse will be announced soon ahead of the update’s official launch on November 1, 2022.

The innovations don’t stop there as Apex Legends also delivers Respawn Beacons, one-time use locations where defeated teammates can be revived, a contextual Ping communication system that allows players to call out enemies, weapons, locations and more with the push of a button, and an intelligent inventory system which automatically attaches gear and equipment to the appropriate weapons once players pick them up. All together it creates a battle royale experience unlike any other, complete with Respawn’s commitment to top-notch quality and fun.

Apex Legends is now available on Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
