When is World\u2019s Edge map returning to Apex Legends Season 5? Respawn EntertainmentThe launch of Apex Legends Season 5 has brought an overhaul to King\u2019s Canyon, which will be the only map in rotation for two weeks per Respawn Entertainment. \u201cTo obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy\u2019s first law of Equivalent Exchange.\u201d It appears Apex Legends is taking Fullmetal Alchemist\u2019s lesson to heart, as the recent addition of a revamped Kings Canyon has come at the expense of many\u2019s favorite map: World\u2019s Edge. As for when World\u2019s Edge is expected to return, the developers have indicated in their patch notes that the map will get back into rotation \u201cafter the two week honeymoon period.\u201d This means that the fan-favorite World\u2019s Edge is most likely to return to the rotation on Tuesday, May 26, 2020. The map should come back as it was at the end of Season 4, meaning that Plant Harvestor and Survey Camp are on the menu\u2014and that the infamous Capitol City will continue existing in its halved, fragmented state. For now, that\u2019s all we know about the map pool for Season 5. But it is very possible that, as the date approaches, Respawn could tease further changes to World\u2019s Edge. Respawn\u2019s schedule of releasing Apex Legends updates on Tuesdays has been well-documented, so the return of the map could come as part of a patch that implements some tweaks to the familiar sights of the planet Talos. In the meantime, players will have to suffice with Kings Canyon for the first two weeks of Season 5. That said, the original map overhaul is pretty wild and suggests some interesting concepts that could also be applied to Apex\u2019s other map. While not quite as groundbreaking as introducing an entirely new map, the changes far outpace those seen when adding one-off sites to maps in play. For one, the map\u2019s ground was literally broken as Skull Town (and Thunderdome) dropped away in a move that Design Director Jason McCord expects is a change that \u201csort of offsets the center of the map.\u201d As he clarified in a recent video with the developers, \u201cIf you take away Skull Town and you see that we\u2019ve added Capacitor over by where Wetlands used to be and then there\u2019s the Offshore Rig a little pastthat\u2026the density of the map has moved to that side of the map, instead of Skull Town.\u201d That addition of Charge Towers, which players can use to instantly recharge their Ultimate ability, is the most intriguing for fans of World\u2019s Edge. While it\u2019s unlikely that many changes will be coming to the Season 4 map upon its return, it feels reasonable to expect that, should King\u2019s Canyon\u2019s Charge Towers be a hit with the community, the new additions could also find their way onto the game\u2019s other map. Still, it\u2019s entirely unclear if any changes will come to World\u2019s Edge as the developers have been much more focused on Season 5\u2019s launch adjustments. Lest anything gets teased, we\u2019ll just have to wait until May 26 to find out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
