Apex Legends Season 15 starts very soon, and developer Respawn has outlined pretty much everything we can expect to see in the new season. Season 15 is the final season of Apex Legends Year 4, and Respawn is holding to tradition–so that means, alongside the new playable character Catalyst, the new season is adding a new battle royale map too, called Broken Moon.

Below, we cover everything we know about Apex Legends Season 15 so far, including when the new season starts, who the new legend is, and where the new map is located.

Start date

Respawn is sticking to its pattern and having the new season start on the day that the previous season ends. In this case, Season 14 concludes on November 1, so Season 15 starts on November 1.

New legend: Catalyst

Season 15 adds Tressa “Catalyst” Smith to Apex Legends, a new defender. In her character description, Respawn writes, “The experienced terraformer and defensive conjurer Tressa Smith uses her remarkable control of ferrofluid to manipulate the battlefield.”

Catalyst is a defender who specializes in area denial, slowing enemies in their tracks to give her teammates time to heal up, reaccess the situation, and counterattack. Compared to her competition, Catalyst probably won’t shake up Apex Legends’ meta, but she still sounds like a fun character to play as. Her abilities are detailed below.

• Passive Ability: Barricade – Reinforce doors, strengthening them and locking them to enemies. Spaces where doors have been destroyed can also be reinforced.
• Tactical Ability: Piercing Spikes – Throw out a patch of ferrofluid which turns into spikes when enemies are near. Catalyst remains immune to enemy spikes.
• Ultimate Ability: Dark Veil – Raise a permeable wall of ferrofluid. Enemies who walk through will be slowed and partially blinded for a brief time.

New map: Broken Moon

Alongside Catalyst, Season 15 adds Apex Legends’ fifth battle royale map, Broken Moon. In an interview, Respawn told GameSpot that Broken Moon contrasts heaven and hell, portraying both the dark and light sides of the moon.

Gift system

Season 15 adds a cosmetic Gift system to Apex Legends, allowing you to buy cosmetics with Apex Coins and give them to your friends. With this new system, you’ll be able to gift both single items (like an individual legend or weapon skin) or full bundles.

Stickers

A new cosmetic type is coming to Apex Legends in Season 15: Stickers! Stickers can be applied to Shield Cells, Shield Batteries, Syringes, Med Kits, and Phoenix Kits, allowing you to further personalize your experience of playing Apex Legends.
