Apex Legends Season 23: Everything We Know So Far

The launch of Apex Legends Season 23, titled “From the Rift,” is just around the corner, with the official release date set for November 5. In classic Apex fashion, Respawn has started teasing us with bits of information and visual hints, setting up an interdimensional twist. From a mysterious purple rift to possible reworks for fan-favorite characters, here’s everything we know so far about Season 23, leaks included.

What Is the Purple Rift in Apex Legends?

This season’s tease started with a single image posted on Apex Legends’ official Twitter, featuring an office scene being consumed by a purple rift. In the image, a female character (appearing to be a multiverse version of Vantage) looks surprised as papers and other office items are pulled into the swirling rift in the ceiling.

This purple rift isn’t just a visual gimmick—it has appeared in the skybox over King’s Canyon in-game, symbolizing a serious storyline shift. The rift’s creation ties back to Ash’s decision to break the ARC Crystal, which was supposed to let Horizon travel back in time to reunite with her son. This act released a powerful, chaotic energy, creating a rift capable of pulling other timelines or dimensions into the current Apex Legends universe.

Multiverse Madness: What Does “From the Rift” Mean for Apex Legends?

Season 23, titled “From the Rift,” is shaping up to be multiverse-themed, potentially bringing alternate versions of our favorite Legends. With this kind of interdimensional twist, we may see *Apex* experiment with unique skins and versions of the characters in different timelines. Imagine Octane as a scientist, or perhaps Gibraltar as a civilian—*Apex* is opening the door for some crazy and unexpected content.

The multiverse approach could allow for new skins that highlight each Legend’s “alternate life.” Some leaks suggest we’ll see Legends in roles we wouldn’t expect, such as Caustic working in an office or Octane trading his speed stim for a more cerebral persona.

What the Season 23 Battle Pass Will Include

The PlayStation Store confirmed the season’s title and provided a glimpse at the Season 23 Battle Pass. Here’s what we can expect:

– Two Legendary Skins: Caustic and Ash will be featured with Legendary skins, including Ultimate Plus versions of each, which are part of the upgraded Battle Pass.
– Weapon Skins: Legendary skins for the Rampage LMG will be available, along with Reactive Skins for the Mozambique, which follow the recently released P2020 reactive skins.
– Event Updates: The Battle Pass split will end on December 17, with the season’s midpoint update bringing additional changes and content for players.

With the possibility of no new Legends for Season 23, it’s clear Respawn is focusing on enhancing the existing roster with new skins, abilities, and potentially reworked characters.

Leaked Lifeline Rework: Is It Happening?

For months, rumors have swirled about a Lifeline rework, and the leaks are adding fuel to the fire. *Apex Legends* leaker KralRindo has even shared potential new abilities in recent months. The supposed update would bring new passive and tactical abilities to Lifeline, including:

– Passive Ability: A potential gliding or increased mobility ability, making her more agile in combat.
– Updated Tactical Ability: The DRONE healing unit could have expanded functionality, following teammates to heal them on the move.
– Shock Bot 3000 Ultimate: This new ability might allow Lifeline to deploy a shock bot to provide combat aid or even damage.

However, some content creators have cast doubt on these changes, cautioning fans not to assume the leaks are gospel. While the Lifeline rework isn’t officially confirmed, the absence of a new Legend in Season 23 suggests that it’s still a possibility.

What Else to Expect in Season 23

Beyond the major storyline elements, we can expect some functional changes and bug fixes, possibly targeting issues like audio, matchmaking, and improving game balance.

Respawn has hinted at a new support perk that may allow support Legends to throw healing items like grenades, instantly healing teammates within their radius. This could bring significant gameplay changes and make support characters even more essential in team dynamics.
