The dawn of a new Apex Legends season is nearing. Let’s see what we can expect from Season 22.

Pretty much nothing has worked well with Apex Legends Season 21. Despite the initial optimism, the hype was short-lived as the season went on. Further concerns about the game’s survival were questioned by the community surrounding the possible Battle Pass overhaul, which has already been reversed.

In light of what’s been happening to the game, players are curious about Respawn’s plans for Season 22, which will be called ‘Shockwave.’ And thanks to the teasers, official news, leaks, and rumors, we know some of the content that will come to Apex Legends in Season 22. Are you curious to know more? Stay with us until the end as we go through all the known upcoming changes for Season 22.

Season 22 Battle Pass Changes

Apex Legends Season 22 will feature some interesting Battle Pass changes. From Shockwave, there will be two Battle Passes divided into two splits. Because there will be less time for completing the Battle Passes, the levels have been reduced to 60 instead of 110.

Rewards that were infrequently used have also been removed to make place for better rewards. However, do not worry. Rewards such as 1300 Apex Coins and 1200 Crafting Materials are still obtainable through a single Battle Pass. This also means you can earn twice as many AC and Crafting Materials in a single season.

You can also buy the Ultimate and Ultimate+ Battle Passes with real money, which will earn you some instant rewards. Exotic Shards have also been included in the Premium, Ultimate, and Ultimate+ Battle Passes.

Season 22 Battle Pass Changes

The key Season 22 Battle Pass changes are:

  • 2 BPs are divided into 2 splits.
  • Each BP has 60 levels.
  • Reactive skins are still there.
  • Ultimate and Ultimate+ BPs can be purchased with real money.
  • Ultimate and Ultimate+ BPs provide extra rewards like 8 Apex packs and 1200 Crafting Materials.
  • 10 Exotic Shards are included in Premium, Ultimate, and Ultimate + BPs.

District BR Map

A new Battle Royale map named District will be released in Season 22. Unlike most BR maps in Apex, the District will feature a city-based structure and will most likely be played in a nighttime setting with beautiful lighting in all POIs.

No New Legend, but Possible Lifeline Rework

No New Legend, but Possible Lifeline Rework

As we already know, Respawn has stopped releasing a new legend every season as the roster is already filled with too many characters. So, starting from Season 16, Respawn has been releasing 1 legend per 2 seasons. So, following this trend, we can expect that Season 22 will see no new legend in the game. However, we may witness a legend rework. And according to the leaks and rumors, Lifeline will get a complete rework in Season 22.

Release Date

Apex Legends Season 22, “Shockwave,” will go live on August 6, 2024.
