Apex Legends Season 4 is now fast approaching as the game nears its one-year anniversary, and here’s everything we know so far about what to expect.
While there’s still plenty of time for players to work their way through the Season 3 Battle Pass, it’s a new year and many fans are looking forward to a new season in Respawn’s popular battle royale.
While Respawn Entertainment may not be planning quite so big a shake-up as the introduction of an all-new map in Season 3, the new season can be expected to offer plenty of fresh new content for players to experience. Here’s a look at what we know so far.
When is Apex Legends Season 4?
Season 4 of Apex Legends is set to start on Tuesday, February 4, 2020 – exactly the one year anniversary of the game’s release. Season 3 is expected to come to an end on the same day, although the exact times at which one season ends and the next begins remains unknown.
According to the in-game battle pass, Season 3 is set to last longer than any previous season. The original first-year roadmap aimed for Season 4 to kick off in December 2019, but the schedule has clearly been delayed.
While all three of the seasons so far have arrived a month later than anticipated by the roadmap, it seems Season 4 has been pushed an additional month, making it the start of the game’s second year, rather than the conclusion of the first.
This also means that Season 3 will be the longest of any season so far, giving fans who are still hoping to secure Season 3 rewards and work through the battle pass ranks will have a bit more time than they might have expected.
Who is the Apex Legends Season 4 new Legend?
Previous seasons have introduced Octane, Wattson, and Crypto to the Apex Legends roster, and the fourth major update should be no different. However, it’s difficult to say as to who exactly will be joining the team.
We’ve seen a number of leaks for new characters, some more detailed than others, but unlike Crypto in season three, there haven’t been a tonne of hints. It’s possible to say that Revenant maybe next considering they play a role in the Shadowfall LTM as that creepy voice you always hear.
It could also very well end up being someone like Rosie or Nomad, who both were hinted at ahead of season three thanks to tweets about the game’s development.

Will Apex Legends Season 4 have new weapons?
Like the new characters, new weapons have been a staple in the release of new seasons. We’ve already seen the L-Star and Charge Rifle join the fray, and they’ll likely be joined by another in the near future.
Data miners have identified multiple potential candidates, most notably the Volt SMG, which appears to be an energy weapon, and the CAR SMG, both of which featured in Titanfall 2. Whether one or both of these will in fact be added in Season 4, or another weapon entirely, remains to be seen.
Will there be a new map for Apex Legends Season 4?
With Season 3 having introduced the World’s Edge map, some players will undoubtedly be wondering whether the next season will once again open up a new battleground for Legends to fight in.
So far, there’s been no word on a new map for the game, although with World’s Edge itself having been a well-kept secret prior to its release, it’s not impossible that the developers could have another big surprise up their sleeves for Season 4.
Whether Respawn will go as far as making another brand-new map for Season 4 remains to be seen, although it seems a little unlikely that they’d use a map for only a single season. That said, it’s entirely possible that Season 4 could at least give players the chance to once again battle in Kings Canyon, as many fans have requested.
How much will the Season 4 battle pass cost?
The battle passes for all three previous seasons cost 950 Apex Coins – so you’ll probably have to pick up 1,000 from the store for £7.99/$10 for season four as well.
You can keep ahold of the free currency that can be claimed through battle pass progression and use that too, provided you haven’t spent it already.
So, while not everything has been announced just yet, that’s what we know about Apex Legends season four so far. We’ll keep this post updated as Respawn drop some more hints and confirmed news throughout season three.
