As 2024 draws to a close, Apex Legends fans can look forward to exciting new content, including major reworks and new Legends. The highly anticipated Season 23 will introduce Lifeline Reborn, offering a fresh take on one of the game’s most iconic characters. Lifeline’s rework features significant updates to her abilities, particularly with her passive and ultimate, aimed at enhancing her role without straying too far from her original design.
Lifeline Reborn: What’s Changing?
Lifeline’s rework will bring a variety of changes that are sure to shake up the gameplay for those who main this support legend. Her new passive, Combat Revive, remains similar to her original ability, but with an exciting twist: Lifeline will now have the ability to glide in the air for three seconds by holding onto her DOC drone. This feature can be extended with specific perk upgrades, giving players more versatility during intense firefights.
Additionally, Lifeline’s tactical ability will also see some changes, though it retains its core functionality. The DOC drone will now follow both Lifeline and her teammates, offering improved mobility and support during combat scenarios. This update mirrors a feature many players have long wished to see for other Legends, such as Crypto’s drone.
The most significant change comes with Lifeline’s new ultimate ability, Shock Bot 3000. This ability introduces a destructible bot that forcibly ejects enemies from a designated area, providing a new strategic element to controlling space in engagements. Although the bot can be destroyed, bullets pass through it, making it a unique tool for area denial.
While Lifeline is getting these updates, it’s worth noting that this rework will not be as comprehensive as previous ones like Revenant Reborn. There won’t be a complete visual overhaul, but the DOC drone will receive some minor visual updates.
The Arrival of Artemis in 2024
Looking ahead to 2024, the next big addition to the Apex Legends roster is Artemis, slated for release in Season 24. Artemis has been teased for quite some time within the game’s code, and fans are eager to see what she brings to the battlefield. Although details remain sparse, leaks suggest that Artemis may wield a unique crossbow, potentially a modified version of the Bocek Bow, and a new shotgun that shoots arrows.
The connection between Artemis and Vantage’s lore has led to speculation that she could be Vantage’s mother, given the Greek mythology references and her association with bows and hunting. If true, this could open up new narrative threads within the game’s expanding lore.
Future Legends and What’s Next
Beyond Season 24, Apex Legends fans can look forward to additional characters, including Flux in Season 26, Ash Rebooted in Season 27, and Tinker in Season 28. While information about these Legends is still under wraps, there’s much speculation that one of these could be Mila, Crypto’s sister, offering some much-needed closure to their ongoing story arc. Another possibility is the introduction of Big Sister, potentially related to the mysterious character Margot, known for her lightning bolt scar and red hair.
With so many new characters and reworks on the horizon, Apex Legends is set for an exciting year in 2024. Whether you’re eager to try out Lifeline’s new abilities or looking forward to the arrival of Artemis, there’s plenty to anticipate as the game continues to evolve.
As the year comes to an end, be sure to stay tuned for the latest updates and get ready to dive into the new content that awaits in 2024. For more in-depth discussions and updates, check out the Apex Legends blog.
