Apex Legends Season 14 breathes new life into Kings Canyon

Apex Legends: Hunted is shaping up to be one of the most substantial updates to Respawn's beloved battle royale in recent times. The Season 14 update will drop in just over a week's time, and as well as the customary new Legend - youthful sharpshooter Vantage - we'll also be seeing lots of weapon updates, and some important changes to Apex's oldest map, Kings Canyon. Remember Skull Town? Well, it's back. Sort of.

The Syndicate has finally rebuilt Skull Town after its destruction way back in Season 5, but now it is known as Relic. The large new point of interest is nestled between Caustic Treatment, Market, and Octane's Gauntlet on the south side of Kings Canyon, and looks very much like a spiritual successor to the beloved Skull Town from the early days of Apex. A packed town area beneath a giant red beast skull, it looks to provide exactly the same kind of chaotic early-game fighting, both on street level and across rooftops, which made Skull Town so popular.

That's not the only change we're seeing to Kings Canyon, either. The Cage POI is being opened up so that it's less of a nightmare to push enemies that have hunkered down inside the tower. We'll also see a handful of new buildings added to Relay (which will be renamed to Basin), to encourage more player interest there. And the complex at the bottom of Hillside has been altered quite a bit as well, the closed off interiors removed to try and allow fights there to end more quickly instead of becoming drawn-out fireworks displays that attract every other team on the map in the mid-game.

The season changes aren't purely geographical, either. The weapon meta is seeing a few rather drastic changes with Apex Legends: Hunted, starting with a brand new attachment - Laser
