A new, faster-paced game mode is coming to Apex Legends on August 5

engadget.com Unknown 2025-12-23 23:00:48

The next season of Apex Legends kicks off on August 5, and it will see the arrival of a new, permanent game mode. Respawn says it built Wildcard as a faster-paced alternative to the core battle royale mode. For instance, when you take out an enemy, they won't leave behind a death box. Instead, their loot will scatter around them, making it easier for you to spot and pick up an item you need or want. Another big difference here is legend stacking. You and your teammates will all be able to play

The U.S. Could Lose a Crucial Futuristic Telescope to Spain if Trump’s Budget Passes
