The game Apex Legends is expanding once again and eagerly unveiling its highly anticipated fifteenth season, titled Eclipse.
Just like previous seasons, the creators at Electronic Arts and Respawn Entertainment are introducing a new character to the game. Additionally, a brand new map called Broken Moon is making its debut. The developers have shared a video and an article detailing this new map, which is now accessible to players in Season 15.
The highly anticipated Season 15 of Apex Legends is finally here, bringing a multitude of exciting new features, including a brand new map connected to the character introduced in this update. To build excitement among players, Respawn Entertainment has created a captivating introduction video for the Broken Moon map.
This video provides stunning glimpses of the landscapes in the Broken Moon map, showcasing its numerous points of interest such as the Station and the Atmospheric Central, the Treasure-filled Terraformer, and the Stasis Network. For more information on these different locations, you can refer to the dedicated article on EA's website (source). A notable feature of the Broken Moon map is the introduction of Slide Rails, a fast mode of transportation similar to ziplines but with even higher speed and momentum.
This new season marks the arrival of a never-before-seen legend, Catalyst, who joins the game alongside the new Broken Moon map located on Cleo, the moon of Boreas. Here are the abilities of the new "control" legend in Apex:
Tactical Ability: Piercing Band - Deploys a band of ferrofluid that transforms into spikes when enemies approach. Catalyst is immune to enemy spikes.
Passive Ability: Reinforcement - Strengthens doors to block enemy access. Destroyed doors can also benefit from the reinforcement ability.
Ultimate Ability: Ferrobarrier - Creates a permeable wall that temporarily slows down and partially blinds enemies passing through it.
