The Apex Legends season 12 release date is finally here, as Defiance prepares to make its debut on PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and PC. With the debut of a brand new character, a huge map update and many new rewards to unlock, the new season of Apex Legends is expected to start at 18:00 GMT UK. There is no server downtime as such, although players will not be able to log in until they have downloaded the Season 12 update. With the update downloaded and installed, users can start trying the new season, which will be launched alongside a Battle Pass. You can see the contents of the Season 12 Battle Pass in the trailer below.

The Apex Legends Battle Pass costs 950 Apex Coins and features new legendary skins for Loba and Seer.

This is on top of the usual range of cosmetics, banners, and sprays, which unlock as you progress through Season 12.

While the Battle Pass is perfect for fans looking for extra motivation to keep grinding, it’s the release of a brand new character that has truly captured the imagination of fans.

Mad Maggie – who will be familiar to anyone who pays attention to the ongoing story – is described as a “ruthless warlord and meanest madman of the Outlands”.

Maggie is said to have increased rifle proficiency, as well as the ability to remove enemies behind cover. This makes it a good choice for players who like to go on the offensive.

Her passive ability temporarily highlights any characters you’ve damaged and keeps her speed when wielding rifles.

Elsewhere, Maggie’s Wrecking Ball move sees her throwing a ball that explodes near enemies and drops pads to increase speed.

In addition to a new character, developer Respawn has made major changes to the map of Olympus.

The map features a couple of new points of interest, including the Phase Driver landmark, which produces loot while alerting enemies.

Fans can also check out the Terminal, which is a new internal POI that connects different parts of the map.

As part of its efforts to introduce new locations, Respawn has been forced to expand the map outward, which means there are many new platforms and small towns to fight in.

Fans will be able to experience the changes as part of a 9v9 limited time mode called Control, where the goal is to capture various control points on the map. The mode is only available for three weeks, so be sure to try it out during the month of February.

It goes without saying that it wouldn’t be a new season without a massive update, complete with balance changes, bug fixes, and general improvements. You can see the highlights of the Apex Legends Season 12 Patch Notes below.
