New Battle Royale Map: District
Apex Legends is finally getting a new Battle Royale map called District. This map was originally leaked a year ago and was planned to have wall running mechanics, but it has been replaced with a new type of trident vehicle. The map is themed after Angel City and is part of the larger city of Suo in the Outlands. It contains at least two districts, Oldtown and Electro. The Electro district is being evacuated due to a breach at Hubert Labs, which could have interesting implications for the game’s lore.
Potential Lore Connections
The lore surrounding the new District map and its connection to the character Crypto is intriguing. Hyper Miss, a data miner, discovered a lore blurb that mentions the electro district being evacuated due to highly toxic chemicals released from Hubert Labs. This is significant because Crypto grew up in an orphanage located in the Electro district, and it is speculated that his sister may also have ties to the new content. Additionally, the lore hints at connections to other characters and locations, such as KK’s birthplace and the former home of Humbert Lab.
New Titanfall Maps
There is hope among Apex Legends players that the new season will also bring new Titanfall maps to the game. Data miners have found references to several Titanfall maps in the game files, and there have been leaks of gameplay from the map Colony. It is rumored that the new map will have wall running and dual wielding pistols, which would be a welcome addition to the game. However, it is uncertain if these features will be included in the initial release or added later.
