FULL STORY
======================================================================

Respawn Entertainment has revealed the launch date and details for the 
upcoming 20th season of Apex Legends . 

Titled Apex Legends: Breakout , the next season will begin on Tuesday, 
January 13, which, among plenty of other things, introduces the Legend 
Upgrade system to the Battle Royale modes. As per the Apex Legends website , 
this all-new in-match character progression system will allow you to tailor 
your Legend [playable character] to your playstyle, restarting each match to 
allow you to try out different upgrades and find your favorite. 

Earning Evo will now Level-Up your Legend over the course of the game, 
improving your armor tier and unlocking unique upgrade selections at Levels 
Two and Three. Choose wisely, as your decision can impact your whole squads 
strategy, the website explains. 

Each Legends upgrade tree will be revealed in the seasons upcoming patch 
notes, which are set to be published on February 12, so stay tuned for those. 

Another key change to Battle Royale is the removal of Body Shields from both 
the ground and pool of loot items. Going forward, Legends will instead have 
built-in Legend Armor which permanently increases in capacity as they level 
up. 

Legend Armor is fueled by a Shield Core which contains the current shield HP, 
the Apex website reads. Shield Cores can be swapped or dropped at any time as 
with previous armor systems, however, fallen enemies will now drop Shield 
Cores in their Death Boxes. 

Meanwhile, in Mixtape (a permanent playlist of the Control, Gun Run, and Team 
Deathmatch modes), a new map called Thunderdome will be added. Otherwise, all 
players can look forward to unlocking six Legends throughout the season via 
Breakout Rewards. Completing challenges with them will also provide the 
Reactive Top Tier Flatline, along with a matching set of Wraith cosmetics. 

There's plenty more to look forward to in Breakout when it launches, 
including 120Hz output on supported displays - though only for current-gen 
consoles. We're sure to get even more details when the patch notes are 
revealed next week.
