Apex Legends update gets a new trailer showing off Mad Maggie
Respawn Entertainment has released a few details for the season 12 update of Apex Legends with a new cinematic trailer. The new season is titled Defiance and will be available on Feb. 8 on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Playstation 4, Playstation 5, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Origin and Steam.
Along with the new playable legend, Respawn will also be adding a new limited time mode called Control. Players will squad on two teams of nine, select a loadout, and then drop in with the goal of taking over and holding designated control points on the map. Unlike the standard battle royale mode, Control will feature infinite respawns for the duration of the match. The new mode will only be available for the first three weeks of the new season.
Players can also look forward to a new battle pass and season of Ranked play with the Defiance update, as well as a change to the current Olympus map, which has been out of the map rotation all season. No further details about the map change have been released as of yet, however. An official launch trailer for Defiance is expected on Jan. 27.
Elden Ring has gone gold ahead of its Feb. 25 release date
Elden Ring, the highly-anticipated title from legendary RPG developers FromSoftware, is approximately one month away from release. During the Taipei Game Show 2022, it was revealed that Elden Ring has officially gone gold, and the team is currently working on a day one patch.
A great headset will make Apex Legends even better
Apex Legends has been built from the ground up as a squad-based battle royale experience. You won’t get too far without both great sound in your ears and clear comms with your teammates. So get a good headset and become a legend.
