What’s new in Apex Legends season 18, Resurrection?

polygon.com:

Apex Legends’ newest season, Resurrection, will reintroduce and remake the fan-favorite character Revenant, unlocking him as Revenant Reborn for every player and giving everyone a chance to earn him for free if they complete a set of challenges before the season ends.

Resurrection, beginning Aug. 8 on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X, will also add the Broken Moon map to the Mixtape playlist. Players will also find a reworked weapon, the Charge Rifle, that changes it from a long-distance beam weapon to a more traditional sniper gun, balancing out some of the gameplay meta that fans have disliked since it joined the game with season 3 in October 2019.

Here’s everything coming to Apex Legends when season 18 begins:

Revenant, who joined the game in May 2020, is getting a makeover as “Revenant Reborn”, starting with a new skin and a new set of abilities.

“Revenant launched in season 4 but his play style hasn’t been keeping up with the gameplay,” character designer Evan Funnell said. “A lot of his patterns have become problematic over time.” To solve that, Respawn is giving him a brand-new look and all new abilities to emphasize the “monstrous assassin fantasy” he represents.

Apex Legends doesn’t always get a new map with each new season, so in August, players will get Broken Moon on the Mixtape playlist of game modes, which offers a more traditional approach to multiplayer first-person shooters.

Broken Moon is one of the game’s newer maps, launching with Season 15 in November 2022. Mixtape launched in February to give players a permanent rotation of limited-time game modes, like Control, Team Deathmatch, and Gun Run.

The Charge Rifle was overdue for an overhaul, said Respawn’s lead
