Respawn has officially appear Apex Legends Season 9, titled Legacy, and is set to launch on May 4. With the announcement, we got a glimpse into everything new coming to Noon Legends side by side season, including the new Legend, weapon, and changes to the Olympus map.

New legend – Valkyrie

The newest entry into the Apex Legends playable roster is Valkyrie, a young, brash, and undeniably talented pilot with a deep narrative connectedness to the Titanfall universe. While Valkyrie's abilities take not been officially showcased all the same, many of them accept been made manifest through her appearance in trailers. Valkyrie will exist able to fly and shower enemies with micro rockets using a rig fabricated from her father's salvaged Northstar.

Before you think she volition play like a Titan, yous should remember this is Apex Legends, and gameplay revolves almost exclusively around gunplay. Her abilities, while powerful and flashy on paper, are secondary to her hitbox, which appears to exist rather small. For that reason alone, we expect Valkyrie to be a stiff legend right out of the gate.

New weapon – Bocek Bow

Season ix of Apex Legends will introduce the game's first bow: the Bocek Bow. Co-ordinate to Respawn's official description, this loftier-tech compound bow will exist tremendously powerful at medium range and crave a caste of skill to use. We don't know what weapon class the Bocek Bow volition fit under, merely we can already see it has a mount for optics.

If we had to judge, we would wait this to exist a floor weapon that uses sniper ammo, although it's only every bit likely that Respawn puts this one in the Intendance Bundle, and restores the Prowler to the regular boodle pool.

Map changes – Infested Olympus

One of the biggest shake-ups we go far every Apex Legends flavour is the map changes. Respawn either introduces brand new maps or rework an existing map, which is the case with Flavour nine. Legacy will see Olympus, the most beautiful and unique Apex Legends arena, undergo a big transformation, as its futuristic architecture gives way to floral infestation.

Infested Olympus will encounter its cityscape taken over by invasive overgrowth, with roots and vegetation blocking off some areas, opening up others for new rotation routes, and irresolute the way players approach combat on this Apex Legends map.
