“Daamn Respawn, back at it again with the semi-prehistoric semi-techy sci-fi tropical aesthetic? Lemme get some siiiip!“

Apex Legends Season 11 will see players fight on its fourth and largest map on November 2nd. Publishing company EA have stated that the Storm Point location will be the “eye in the hurricane” to the rest of the map’s pretty beaches and crystal waters… And I really do mean CRYSTAL clear folks! The day I first saw clear water at a beach IRL blew my f****ing mind out my ear holes so hard that I still have trouble making out music lyrics first-listen to this day… Also, it has been confirmed that the game will also see players fighting off SPIIIDERRS. This alongside the nature of the new Gaea map and said SPIIIDERRS was previously covered in our reports on Apex Legends dataminers here. For the Apex Legends Season 11 gameplay trailer itself, click here… Also, old news, but Apex removed tap-strafing!? I’m sure if I knew what that was beforehand I’d be reeally mad.

In addition to the map being the biggest, we’ll also see “a base embedded within a giant mountain marking the highest location in any Apex Legends map to date”. Not alot of people know this about me, but heights are my fetish (I’m exaggerating, but not by much), so that combined with the fact that you can’t take fall damage in-game means I know what I’ll be doing November 2nd.

We’ll also be seeing the inclusion of Ash, the antagonist from Titanfall 2 and narrating overseer of Apex Legends Battle Arena mode. That and Titanfall’s C.A.R Sub Machine Gun. For a deep dive on that, have a butcher’s here.

With Ash wielding her sci-fi super slicey dicey, fingers crossed this means Apex will be seeing the option for swordplay combat, that would be awesome. Worked out pretty well when Fortnite allowed you to swing around lightsabers, so fingers crossed we get similar mechanics here. By the looks of it, seems more likely that the sword is just an Ash-only move that lets her do Wraith-like teleportations, but hey, a guy can dream.

Furthermore, the picture below seems to be implying there will be some swimming involved, which ties into another EA statement regarding the Apex map’s inclusion of “island clusters”, so I’m down for that. On a similar note, I find water levels in gaming to be basically like Fugu sashimi: Easy to get wrong, but boy golly gosh gee wilikers is it great when it goes right… Also, shoutout to autocorrect for initially putting down sashimi as “mishmash”.

The Daily Shill + A Cheeky Teaser

If you’re looking for more first-person shooty bang-bang funtimes, we have good prices on stuff. Doom Eternal and Animal Crossing New Horizon, which are basically the same game, trust me. Void Bastards if you ever wanted to try “what if roguelike but shooty-bang-bangs”. And, in accordance with the age old tradition of cheeky foreshadowing for future events, also recommend checking our Rainbow Six Siege merch and games, because we cannot rest in the battle for true equality until we have 👏MORE 👏 GAY👏 SOLDIER BOIS👏… Not quite as nuanced as the actual project I’m doing, but that hint will have to suffice for now folks.

The post Apex Legends Season 11 News+Trailer BREAKDOWN first appeared on Get2Gaming.

Developed by Respawn Entertainment, the beloved battle royale shooter Apex Legends will see its 11th season release on November 2nd. Till then, click here for the trailer and stick around for more information and hopefully my occasionally quirky inserts where I reference old British sitcoms and weird non-sequiturs when you least expect it… Rectangular water goat.

Information on the new tropical island map featured in the trailers was leaked by dataminers some months ago, so great to see the rumors confirmed and the location realised in all its morning glory. For all you lore-heads out there, the new stage is rumored to be planet Gaea, home to the deadly Carthage Spiders that may appear in gameplay as an environmental threat. Gaea is also the home planet of Rampart, Caustic and Crypto, as well as a playable location in Titanfall.

Oddly enough, this smells like Fortnite. Not only because I came across an in-game halloween giant spider piñata that freaked me out for a hot minute, but also because that game has wolves, boars and chickens roaming the world that you can hunt for useful items. Quite likely the Carthage Spiders will function similarly, “as a persistent map feature and threat” according to one dataminer. Heck, the trailer has a bloke barely fighting off some kinda alien lizard-tiger monster, so maybe there’ll be some kind of group PVE mode coming to Apex where you and the lads can go out communicating with nature… And monsters… With your gun… And grenades… But mostly the shooty-bang-bangs… Deadly Irish Honeycomb.

We’ll also be seeing Titanfall 2 villain Ash coming with Season 11, who serves as the overseer of Apex Legends’ Arena Mode, which you can find out more on here.

Respawn also announced in August plans to release a ‘next-gen update’ to Apex, though there’s currently no known release window.

The post Apex Legends New Map Info and More first appeared on Get2Gaming.

Apex Legends ‘Season 11: Escape’ has been announced alongside images of a new playable character in the form of Ash (pictured above).

Plot twist, Ash has technically taken part in Apex Legends before the upcoming season 11. Remember that overseer in Apex’s Arena Mode? It was Ash all along! From the critically acclaimed and severely underrated Titanfall 2! This likely means we’ll see some epic crossover event between the franchises once season 11 drops. EA has plenty of wriggle-room to work with storywise.

For an epic-looking story trailer to Ash’s inclusion to Apex, click here. Ash is a sort of artificial intelligence ‘simulacrum’ formed from the consciousness of formed from one Dr Ashleigh Reid who eventually goes on an onslaught of Agent Smithian proportions. A recent press release also claims Ash and the slither of Ashleigh in her subconscious has some connection to another doctor in the Apex universe. From a glance over at the Apex Legends comics, our two main suspects for who Ash may have known in her human days are either Dr Aleki Gibraltar or Armen Fletcher, both of whom work with ‘The Group’ on the ‘Project Iris’ initiative.

Titanfall’s C.A.R Sub Machine Gun (as opposed to a Dom Machine Gun) will also be added in Season 11. A while ago, Respawn mentioned delaying plans for a new Titanfall game due to focus on developing Apex after its unexpected success, so if this does well, maybe we’ll hear more rumblings of another Titanfall game coming. Community coordinator Jason Garza claimed a month ago that prospects of a Titanfall sequel are unlikely, but Respawn vaguely countered this with statements of how the franchise are at the company’s roots and a general ‘who knows what the future may hold’ optimistic tone.

Apex Legends is available now for PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
