Apex Legends teases potential new map Olympus: everything we know Respawn EntertainmentRespawn has dropped another major hint in the Broken Ghost finale that Apex Legends will be heading to floating city \u2018Olympus\u2019; here\u2019s everything we know about the potential new battle royale map so far. Apex\u2019s season five storyline \u201cThe Broken Ghost\u201d came to an end on Wednesday, and what a stunning conclusion it was. Players finally finished building the artifact, which turned out to be Titanfall 2 villain Ash, risen from the dead. The simulacrum\u2019s resurrection wasn\u2019t the only massive twist Respawn delivered in their first story-telling outing in Apex Legends, however. The devs also dropped another bombshell; we could be heading to a new world soon. Players won\u2019t just be heading to any planet either. The new world, which Lifeline mentioned in the last Broken Ghost quest, is Psamathe. The Apex Legends medic suggested the team \u201cgo to Olympus\u201d \u2014 a city on that same planet \u2014 in the closing moments. They may do just that next season. Once is happenstance; players enjoyed the nice Titanfall 2 easter egg when they were told Lifeline and Octane were from Psamathe. Twice is a coincidence; Revenant\u2019s \u2018soul\u2019 was sent to that same planet when Loba tried to destroy him in Season 5\u2019s trailer. Three times, well that\u2019s a pattern. Add to that the fact data miner Shrugtal found a UFO-like structure in the game files marked with \u201colympus\u201d code strings, and littered with the cherry blossoms that grow on Psamathe, and it looks like Olympus will be the next Apex map. Here\u2019s everything we know about the possible new map, including old Titanfall lore about the city, what the battlefield could be like, and more. Olympus, floating city in the clouds Olympus has already been established in Apex Legends lore as a floating city in the clouds \u2014 think Cloud City from Stars Wars: Empire Strikes Back. We\u2019ve actually already seen the city itself too: it\u2019s where Revenant killed Loba\u2019s parents. There were a few snippets of the futuristic-looking planet in Loba\u2019s \u201cLegacy of a Thief\u201d trailer as well. In that teaser, the sprawling city is littered with towering skyscrapers, layers of fog and smoke, and buildings as far as the eye can see. It\u2019s possible Olympus is a fairly hostile city too. Lifeline and Octane seem quite apprehensive about a potential homecoming in the Broken Ghost cutscene. Loba is also seen living in the streets of the city as a jewel thief. The Legends could also just be nervous to return to Psamathe due to the evil business group the Syndicate. All the way back in Season 4, a Syndicate goon said he thought Psamathe was \u201cthe only safe place in the Outlands\u201d besides Gaea. Will the Apex Games go to Olympus? Respawn has yet to officially comment on anything regarding Olympus. That means players only have the hints laced into the lore to go off. That said, when you combine all the teasers \u2014 which the devs love to make use of \u2014 and the data mining, it does add up. The idea of the Apex Games being held on Olympus seems awesome too. So far we\u2019ve had a desert arena, and a ruined city battlefield. This next one would take fans into the heart of an industrial world, high above the ground. It\u2019s just crazy enough that it might work. Apex already has plenty of ziplines and mobility built into the game. Respawn actually just started tweaking ziplines; could the devs have been preparing for some high-flying battles? Olympus could be for single-player missions The other possibility for these teasers is that Respawn is finally flexing their muscles when it comes to story-telling. They designed multiple single-player maps for Titanfall 2, and could have a similar plan for Apex too. Nothing has officially been confirmed yet, but as Apex\u2019s sixth season rapidly approaches \u2014 it is expected to drop on Tuesday, August 18 \u2014 it certainly looks like we\u2019ll be heading off-world for the second time in Apex Legends history. The other question is which new Legend will be added to the roster during the switch. While signs do point to Ash, it\u2019s more likely going to be Rampart, especially considering his abilities have already been leaked by Shrugtal. Older characters from the Apex roster will also likely get a bit more time in the spotlight in Season 6, Respawn has confirmed. In particular, former IMC soldier Bangalore will be \u201cfront and center\u201d in the next storyline, the devs have teased.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
