Apex Legends Season 12: Defiance begins today, and if you can believe it, the release date kicks off Year 4 for developer Respawn's battle royale. The Apex Legends Season 12 release time is quickly approaching. Year 3 proved a transformative year for Apex Legends--alongside the usual new weapons and characters, it saw the introduction of Arenas and a tighter narrative focus on the legacy of Titanfall 2. It's what those hoping for Titanfall 3 get for now. Respawn doesn't seem to be letting up for Year 4, with Season 12 introducing a whole bunch of new content. Below, we go over everything Season 12 is changing about Apex Legends or adding to the game, including legend and weapon rebalancing, map changes, new modes, and events.
Apex Legends Season 12 is set to start today, February 8. If Respawn keeps to the same start time as Season 11: Escape, Season 12 will kick off at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET. However, Respawn has not announced a start time yet.
Respawn has released the full patch notes for Apex Legends Season 12. You can read the full Apex Legends Season 12 patch notes here, including changes to Hammerpoint.
Season 12 sees the addition of Mad Maggie to Apex Legends' playable roster. Mad Maggie is an «aggressive playmaker»--her abilities are geared towards pushing enemy squads and engaging them in close-range combat, similar to Octane and Revenant. Maggie is the second playable character in Apex Legends with an ability that makes her especially adept when she's using specific weapons (the first being Rampart, who gets an extended clip and faster reload speed on LMGs). Maggie excels with shotguns, gaining increased running speed when holding one.
