Bringing more of the Apex Legends story and experience to life for our fans is the thrill of working on this game, and Season 5 is no exception.
This season we wiped out Skull Town, which really allowed us to have some fun and do something unexpected. We’re happy to see that players, both new and returning, are really enjoying it.
