Today, Respawn released the first gameplay trailer for the upcoming Apex Legends Season 5 – Fortune’s Favour. While it only offered glimpses into the abilities of Loba, the new Legend, it did finally reveal details about the new Quest system which is coming in Season 5. Plus, it offers fans a look at a new rework coming to Kings Canyon, as well as new Battle Pass content.
Quests and More Coming in Apex Legends Season 5
The first feature to receive attention in the Apex Legends Season 5 gameplay trailer is Quests. Coming to the game seemingly in place of a new weapon, Quests are set to be a major new feature, although until now Respawn has kept all details under wraps. Now we know that players will be able to undertake a new Season Quest called “The Broken Ghost”. While on this quest, they’ll find clues in the form of Treasure Packs in ordinary loot containers. Once they find a Treasure Pack, players will need to fend off AI enemies before escaping.
Of course, Season 5 is also bringing a new Legend to the game; Loba Andrade, who is on a mission of vengeance against Revenant. The new gameplay trailer didn’t go through her abilities in detail, but did offer a few glimpses. Notably, confirming her use of a teleportation ability which was teased in previous cinematic trailers. This ability allows her to throw a device and then teleport to its location. Her staff also seems to serve a dual purpose as both a melee weapon and some sort of loot container. It’s possible that Respawn will release a second trailer focusing more on Loba’s abilities, as they did prior to Season 4 with Revenant.
Finally, Season 5 will be bringing a new map rework to Kings Canyon called; “Kings Canyon: Unearthed,” which appears to add a range of excavations and industrial scaffolding across the classic map. Of course, the gameplay trailer did also offer a teasing glimpse at the new Battle Pass content. Respawn is very likely to release a short Battle Pass trailer in the near future which focuses more specifically on this upcoming content.
