Will Respawn release a new Apex Legends map in Season 6? Respawn EntertainmentRespawn has all but confirmed there will be no new Apex Legends map when the Season 6 update rolls around on August 18, but that doesn\u2019t mean fans won\u2019t see a brand new battle royale arena before the end of 2020. Here\u2019s everything we know. Apex Legends Season 6 begins on Tuesday, August 18. New legend Rampart and the Volt SMG are both set to make their long-awaited debuts at the same time, alongside a number of legend, weapon, and map changes. One thing conspicuously missing, however, is a new map for Respawn\u2019s character-focused battle royale title. A host of teasers across Season 4 and 5 pointed to players heading to the world of \u201cOlympus\u201d sometime in the near future. Unfortunately, those plans appear to have been scuppered \u2014 at least for now \u2014 due to plans for World\u2019s Edge to get a little overhaul in Season 6. With that said, it looks like Olympus has been delayed, not canceled, meaning it will arrive soon. Is a new Apex Legends map on the way in Season 6? We won\u2019t beat around the bush on this one. Right now, it\u2019s looking unlike Season 6 is going to get a new map. There\u2019s nothing referring to \u2018Olympus,\u2019 and only a scrap related to a new map in the Apex Legends code at all. According to ILootGames, there\u2019s \u201conly one reference to a new map in the files,\u201d and even that may be a carryover from scrapped code Respawn has since binned. Several insider sources have suggested Olympus was simply put on the backburner due to the work from home situation Respawn have found themselves in. Others suggest Olympus was never on the slate for Season 6 at all. The decision not to launch the sixth season with a map is sure to be a bit disappointing for long-term Apex fans, there can be no denying that. World\u2019s Edge came out in Season 3, and before that, we only had Kings Canyon to play in. That said, Olympus isn\u2019t just a pipe dream or a fantasy. There have been nearly a dozen references to the city on Psmanthe since the start of Season 4. As Dexerto said in our last investigation into the possible new map: Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times, well that\u2019s a pattern. Everything we know about \u201cOlympus\u201d so far Olympus has already been established in Apex Legends lore as a floating city in the clouds \u2014 think Cloud City from Star Wars V: The 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. Respawn has yet to comment on anything regarding Olympus, however. That means players only have the lore hints to go off. That said, when you combine the teasers, 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. Other options for Apex Legends\u2019 next map Olympus may not be the only place Respawn could take in Season 6 or beyond though, and until they actually comment on a new map our guess is as good as anyone\u2019s regarding their decision. So far, we have been introduced to three different planets in the series\u2019 solar system; Solace, Talos, and of course Olympus. Those familiar with Titanfall\u2019s universe, however, know there\u2019s actually a handful of places we could go next. Possible destinations include Gridiron, Harmony, Leviathan, and Troy \u2013 unless they want to drop a total surprise and go somewhere we\u2019ve never seen before. They don\u2019t necessarily have to be in the same state as what they were after the great Frontier War (many were damaged and ruined). Some might even have been rebuilt in the time that came after. That said, some were destroyed, and that \u2013 sadly \u2013 ruled out some when forming our list of contenders. Even casual players will recognize the third one in that shortlist too; Leviathans invaded Kings Canyon all the way back in Season 2. It would be interesting if we were finally given the chance to battle it out on their planet instead. Season 6 finally arrives this week We\u2019ll just have to wait and see where Respawn decides to take us next. Apex Legends may not be heading off-world for the second time in its history just yet, either, but there\u2019s plenty to be excited about in this week\u2019s Season 6 update. Rampart will finally take her place in the Apex Legends roster this week, while Titanfall 2\u2019s Volt SMG will also be added to the title\u2019s arsenal. There will also be a new crafting mechanic, as well as a battle pass, and plenty more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
