Apex Legends Arenas: Everything we know about new deathmatch mode Respawn EntertainmentVarious Apex Legends leaks have pointed towards the introduction of an \u2018Arena\u2019 mode, but what is it all about? Here\u2019s everything we know so far about Arenas, coming in Season 9: Legacy. Unlike other modes that have come and gone in Apex Legends, Arenas is totally unique. Past modes have put a spin on the main game, with map changes, loot changes, or wholesale gameplay changes, such as the Winter Express LTM. But, so far, they\u2019ve all been battle royale-style modes \u2013 something Respawn have confirmed is going to change, as they take Apex Legends beyond just battle royale. Apex Legends Arenas release date It\u2019s now a sure thing that Arenas is coming Season 9, on May 4, with the in-game teaser from Ash confirming it. After all, Respawn have said we should expect the unexpected in Season 9. The first leak regarding Arena mode came back in October when reliable leaker Shrugtal pointed out that the name had been added to battle royale\u2019s code, referencing a 3v3 mode.

But, a number of different leaks have surfaced regarding potential locations, how it will work. What is Arenas? Put simply, we expect it will be a deathmatch-style mode. Leaks have pointed towards a 3v3 gamemode, which makes sense given Apex Legends\u2019 general emphasis on trios in the battle royale too. Respawn have suggested that this mode will be treated as a \u201cfull game\u201d \u2013 not just an afterthought. So, we can expect unique rules and perhaps even some unique gameplay altering changes, that differ from the battle royale. One things is for sure though \u2013 it will have its own maps. Apex Legends Arenas maps In terms of the different locations for these Arenas, Shrugtal leaked in January that at least seven different Kings Canyon spots were being tested. These were: Capacitor, Rig, Broken Relay, Gauntlet, Cascades, Repulsor, and Water Treatment. Additionally, leakers suggested that Skulltown would also return as a map for this mode, however, that hasn\u2019t be spotted on these lists. We expect the location in the Ash teaser to be one of the maps. Also, in Apex Legends\u2019 100 million player celebration video, we get a glimpse at what could be another Arena, on Olympus. Apex Legends Arenas rewards Just like with other modes, there will be cosmetic rewards on offer in the form of badgers for your player card. You will receive the \u201cImpress Me\u201d badge for completing the Arena teaser.

Arenas Ranked Play Leakers have also said that Arenas will have some form of Ranked component, so it won\u2019t just be a casual fun mode all the time. Whether the Ranked system is tied in with the main Ranked tiers of the battle royale, remains to be seen. All in all, we\u2019ll have to wait until closer to Season 9 for more details, either from leakers or Respawn themselves. As more information surfaces, we\u2019ll update this post, so make sure to keep back for all the latest updates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
