Apex Legends Season 18: Resurrection is almost here, and it's bringing some serious changes to the game. The upcoming season includes a new battle pass, a new animated web series, a new collection event, and a brand new set of abilities for the oldest character in the game. But there's a lot more to Season 18 than murderbot makeovers, and we've got the scoop. Keep reading for a detailed breakdown of everything we know about Season 18, including map rotations, details on the removal of an iconic Ranked Mode reward, and a sneak peek at the next Heirloom Weapon set to hit the game.

When does Apex Legends Season 18 begin?

Apex Legends Season 18: Resurrection will go live on Tuesday, August 8 at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET. No end date has been announced yet, but Apex's seasons always last approximately three months, so Resurrection is likely to end in late October or early November.

No new legend

Similar to Season 16, Season 18 will not feature a new legend, but will instead be reworking the abilities of a pre-existing legend. This shouldn't come as a surprise--Respawn devs have previously stated that new legend releases are likely to slow down in the future. But that's not necessarily a bad thing. In fact, Respawn has stated that although Season 17 did not meet the studio's financial expectations, Season 16--which also lacked a new legend debut and instead focused on quality-of-life improvements--was one of the game's most successful seasons.
