A storm is brewing in the Apex Games, and it’s not just from the weather engine update. Massive new Leaks have surfaced hinting at what could be the most groundbreaking shift in Apex Legends history: Apex Legends 2.0. From a complete engine overhaul to third-person LTMs, heirloom updates, and even dynamic weather, there’s a LOT to unpack. Buckle up, Legends , this ride’s about to get wild.
Power Sword Takeover Incoming!
If you’ve peeked at the firing range recently, you probably noticed a mysterious countdown timer. Well, we now know what it’s for. According to trusted leaker YourSuki, it’s counting down to a Firing Range Takeover featuring the Power Sword. This isn’t your everyday firing range update, it’s a full, blown event that’ll let Players wield the Power Sword and possibly hint at future gameplay mechanics. Expect it in just a couple of weeks.
Third-Person Mayhem Returns!
Remember the classic third-person LTM? It’s making a comeback – with a twist. This time, squads will drop into six-team deathmatches with no loot, faster rings, and intense close-quarters chaos. Think EPGs, Archers, and high-Octane brawls from a whole new perspective. It’s Apex like you’ve never seen it before, literally.
Apex Legends 2.0 Spotted on Epic Games Store 👀
A listing on the Epic Games Store recently asked players which unreleased titles they’re most excited for, and right there, clear as day, was Apex Legends 2.0. And yes, it’s real. EA and Respawn are working on it behind the scenes, and the leaks paint an ambitious picture:
- Engine Upgrade (Possibly Unreal Engine 5)
- Dynamic Weather
- Destructible Environments
- Improved Audio
- New Movement Mechanics
- Volumetric Fog and Smoke
In short, Apex Legends 2.0 isn’t just a sequel, it’s a full-blown evolution of the game we know and love.
Why It All Makes Sense
The timing couldn’t be more perfect. Vince Zampella, Respawn’s co-founder and now also leading the Battlefield franchise, is no stranger to cutting-edge tech. With Battlefield known for its destructible environments, it seems likely we’ll see that tech migrate into Apex via this rumored upgrade.
Leaker Yuro also mentioned two BR maps currently in development. One is already in beta, and speculation suggests it could be built with the new engine. Expect Olympus to get its long-awaited update next season, followed by a brand-new BR map that could showcase all the shiny new tech.
Pathfinder Buffs & Heirloom Hype
Pathfinder mains, rejoice! Leaks indicate he’s being eyed for a new passive ability, improved running animations, new heirloom inspects, and possibly an entire heirloom recolor. And he’s not alone. Lifeline and Mirage recolors have reportedly been ready but not yet released. Could this season finally deliver? We’re betting on Lifeline next.
