The 19th season “Ignite” of the battle royale FPS “Apex Legends” will be launched on October 31. Developer Respawn Entertainment today announced the new heroes “Conduit” and Storm Point that will appear in S19. The map was updated, and the long-awaited cross-platform progression feature was revealed.
Cross-platform progression features complement cross-platform play. Although “Apex Legends” launched cross-platform play as early as October 2020, players have been able to compete with players on other platforms for the past three years, but they have not been able to access all the skins they own.
After the launch of the Ignite Season, the official will open the cross-platform progress function in stages, requiring players to link accounts on different platforms through EA accounts. Due to the nature of cross-platform merged accounts, Apex coins, synthetic materials and other content will be affected to varying degrees. , the accounts of players who have not logged in during the transfer will be automatically merged later.
The official emphasizes that statistical data between platforms cannot be merged and will be defaulted to the player’s main profile. Any badges related to statistics that are merged from other profiles into the EA account may not be available. Detailed cross-platform integration principlesPlease refer to the official website。
Conduit, a new hero from the Philippines, fights for his hometown. Once he came into contact with the radiation battery of the Titan mecha, his blood was infected and gained lethal power. The power mecha on his body is very similar to the technology of Titan. The tactical skill “Radial Energy Transfer” can be used when he is trapped in a trap. When in danger, it sends an energy burst to a teammate and creates a temporary protective shield for the opponent and yourself. Passive skill.
The conduit’s passive skill “Savior Speed” can achieve an instant acceleration effect when running towards teammates outside the range of tactical skills; through the unique skill “Energy Blockade”, a series of devices that can interfere with the protective shield can be deployed, which can damage and slow down. Speed the enemy.
For casual players, it is difficult to quickly find exciting battle scenes in the Storm Point map. Therefore, the development team reduced the overall map size and added the “central point of interest” Watson’s Tower and Keto Station to provide players with an early landing in the hot battle area. And replace the Hunting Island with Keto Station (Zeus Station) to reduce the smoothness of the central rotation.
“Apex Legends: Ignite” will be launched on Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, and PC on October 31st, including a new battle pass, including new weapon styles, character styles, emoticons, etc., and a two-term collaboration with the famous singer Post Malone Zhou’s cooperation will begin on November 7, and more details will be disclosed in the future.
