Apex Legends, a battle royale from EA and Respawn, will be coming to mobile with a new smartphone version that’s going into beta in April. Twitter Facebook. The latest tweets from @Respawn. Recently, an Apex Legends developer, Jason McCord, organized a Twitter poll to gauge fans’ reaction regarding the new LTMs. Also Read: Apex Legends Fight Night Patch Rescinds Caustic Buff, Appends Horizon Nerf and Ring Changes. 2 days ago  Apex Legends Season 9 “Legacy” launches on May 4th on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC, and Nintendo Switch, and we’ll let you know both when that Arenas.

We’re less than two weeks away from the launch of Apex Legends Season 9, which has been officially named “Legacy.” We already know that the new season will introduce a new playable character called Valkyrie, and after seeing her origin story in a video from earlier this week, today we’re seeing her go toe-to-toe with some of the other Legends. It seems that this launch trailer also reveals a new game mode, but of course, specifics are being kept under wraps for now.

That is hardly surprising, because Respawn Entertainment likes to introduce these new Apex Legends seasons in a piecemeal fashion, first by revealing the new legend, then by publishing these launch trailers before ultimately revealing all of the specifics in each update’s patch notes.

In any case, while Valkyrie is a significant part of this trailer, we actually get to see all of the Legends in combat here. We also get a look at Ash from the Titanfall universe, who introduces a new 3v3 game mode called Arenas. Ash’s appearance makes a lot of sense, as this season seems to be all about revisiting Apex Legends‘ Titanfall roots.

We don’t know a whole lot about the update aside from the fact that it will have those Titanfall callbacks and that Valkyrie will star, but that information will come around the bend soon enough. Respawn typically publishes patch notes for new seasons shortly before they go live, and it’s then that we’ll learn just what Legacy will entail.

One thing to note is that Respawn will be revealing Arenas gameplay on April 26th, so that’ll be kicking off next week for us. Apex Legends Season 9 “Legacy” launches on May 4th on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC, and Nintendo Switch, and we’ll let you know both when that Arenas reveal and the patch notes for Legacy drop.

Story Timeline

Apex Legends developer Respawn has a bit of a fight on its hands. Apex Legends has recently been beset by hackers and DDoS attacks and now the company is apparently looking at all options in order to fight them off.

Over the last few weeks, more and more Apex Legends players have been complaining about issues inside the game. The company has reportedly taken a number of actions to try and fix the problem only to find out the game has been the target of people actively looking to take it offline. Now the company says it's willing to pursue whatever it takes, which likely includes legal action if that's what it needs to do to put an end to the attacks.

Twitch streamer ShivFPS inadvertently brought a focus to the issue and what Respawn is going to about the problems in Apex Legends. Shiv took to Twitter to announce that he got locked out of the game. He added that he knew it was a hacker or hackers locking people out of their accounts. He finished his post by saying that Respawn needed to make sure the issue was fixed or he might move onto another game.

So @EA@Respawn, i'm being locked out of playing @PlayApex. and let it be known this is a hacker locking people out of their accounts. please work on fixing this. or maybe it'll have to be another game we play from now on. gg's FIX IT pic.twitter.com/TGOwZSDwvW

Not long after Shiv and other Apex Legends players complained about the hacking issue, Respawn director of communication Ryan Rigney took to Twitter himself to explain what the company was doing to fight back. Rigney said that he hoped to have an official announcement soon. He also made it clear he wanted the company to do more than simply tell people it 'hears them.'

Regarding some ongoing cheating issues. Hoping to have actions to announce as quickly as possible (and to avoid useless 'we hear you!' posts in the meantime...): https://t.co/AAxrFZHRTN

In another post, Rigney said Respawn is looking at 'all avenues.' While he didn't say specifically the company is looking at, he did offer a few examples. In those examples, he mentioned 'legal' was one thing the company was considering. While going down the legal avenue is kind of a nuclear option, the firm has already taken other steps that haven't worked. That included a ban wave Respawn admitted didn't work against the DDoS attackers.

It makes sense that Respawn is willing to pull out the big guns at this point. Next week, a new War Games event is launching in Apex Legends. The developers likely want to make sure that event goes off without a hitch. Continuing to have people locked out of their accounts, alongside other problems, is only going to mar the launch of the new event.
