New Apex Legends map Tropic Island coming soon: details, leaks, release date & more Respawn EntertainmentApex Legends Season 11 is around the corner, and a new map, Tropic Island, is in the works, according to leakers. Here\u2019s everything we know so far, including how it will look, feel, and play. Apex Legends originally launched with just one map, Kings Canyon. However, the battle royale\u2019s map pool has expanded exponentially since then. World\u2019s Edge and Olympus have stolen the show. And now, reliable leakers Shrugtal revealed a fourth map called Tropic Island is coming in Apex Legends Season 11. The popular Apex insider discovered the first signs back in 2020, and now believes it\u2019s finally coming to fruition in the upcoming season. Apex Legends Tropical Island map details Muddy Trident Vehicles Shrugtal revealed all the details in a video posted on August 23. He explained the map has been designed with vehicle movement in mind and pointed out a set of textures in the files built for a \u201cMuddy Trident Vehicle.\u201d The muddy nature of the vehicle suggests the map will have a wet and muddy climate, which is no surprise given it\u2019s called Tropical Island. It\u2019s the first piece of evidence he has to support his claims, and it\u2019s a solid one to boot. AI Wildlife He also found lines of code called\u201dmp_rr_ai_wildlife\u201d in a test map, and he believes it\u2019s a clear sign that the developers are testing the implementation of AI wildlife on the Tropical Island map, which could happen on a \u201clarge scale.\u201d In his view, it will likely be a \u201cpersistent map feature and threat\u201d to players. For example, you might need to defeat waves of giant spiders to access high-tier loot, which makes sense given that some appeared in the Apex Legends comics. Last but not least, he referred to a sound file he discovered called windy cliffside, and he believes it could mean parts of the map will have higher elevation. However, he concluded that it\u2019s all speculation until more details come to light. Apex Legends Tropical Island map in-game teaser A new in-game teaser also shared a previously leaked image for the new Tropic Island map. Not much was shown but it\u2019s one of the first times Respawn directly referenced the new locale inside Apex Legends. Here’s a better look at the new Tropical island image.

These include new landmarks that may appear around the Apex Legends map, as well what appears to be a Prowler\u2019s mound, and a slice of the new battleground\u2019s mini-map. Until these are confirmed by Respawn, take them with a hefty grain of salt. Is Tropical Island in Gaea? Shrugtal also mentioned that Tropical Island could take place on Gaea, the birthplace of Rampart, Caustic, and Crypto. It has been referred to multiple times in the comics and ties into a previous questline. So, there\u2019s a good chance he\u2019s right on the money. When does the Tropical Island map release? Apex Legends Season 11 is expected to start on November 2, exactly three months after Season 10 launched. The Tropical Island map will release on the same date, assuming the leaks and rumors are true. But we won\u2019t know for sure until it\u2019s officially confirmed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
