Apex Legends Season 23 takes you back to the beginning with Launch Royale

Apex Legends From the Rift is the upcoming season of the battle-royale and it launches on Tuesday 5th November – yes, you read that right, it’s out today! So, you really don’t have long to wait to get your hands on the new and revamped Lifeline, Launch Royale, plus all the other goodies being added to round off 2024.

As recently announced on Apex Legends official X account, this season will be home to Launch Royale – a brand new mode that lets you turn back time and set foot in the very beginning of Apex Legends, with the original Legends and weapons on offer to give you the original Apex experience.

That’s just the first of many things to look forward to this season – up next is the remixed and revived Lifeline. The combat medic not only has a very literal new look with a robotic arm (with currently unknown origins), but all of her abilities are now different, too – redesigned to give better reset opportunities for any squad that contains her.

Lifeline’s Passive still contains combat revive but it’s been expanded, so now she can also grab onto D.O.C and glide mid-air for a short period of time until fuel runs out. You can let go of and grab D.O.C as much as you want during gliding, as long as there’s fuel – which replenishes the moment you touch the ground. Weapons cannot be drawn while gliding, however.
