EA and Respawn Entertainment have announced the launch of a new event for Apple’s App Store 2022 Game of the Year and nominee for Best Mobile Game at The Game Awards, Apex Legends Mobile.
The joy of the holiday season may be kicking off, but in the world of Apex, players will be engaging in a nightmarish new event, with a familiar synthetic Legend making his debut in the mobile game. Kicking off on the 29th of November at 5:00 pm PT, the Underworld Event will be taking over Apex Legends Mobile with a brand new Battle Pass to boot.
Revenant, the Synthetic Nightmare
Many gladiators fought and died during The Champions Event which launched on 18 October in North America, but dead warriors don’t go to heaven, they go to the Underworld, to battle against the demonic horde that awaits them. Meeting them there will be Revenant, the Synthetic Nightmare who used to be human but has been reduced to a walking nightmare of steel and vestigial flesh. His abilities include:
- Passive: Stalker
Revenant is able to crouch-walk faster and climb higher than his foes.
- Tactical Ability: Silence
Throw a device that deals damage and disables enemy abilities for short periods.
- Ultimate Ability: Death Totem
Drop a totem that protects those who use it from death for a set amount of time. Instead of being killed or downed, users will be teleported back to the totem and restored to a certain amount of health when they receive critical damage.
In addition to these new abilities for Revenant, a host of new Legend Perks will be in play as well. These include Death Stalker, which increases crouch speed; Zombie Siphon, which restores HP when knocking enemies while under the effect of Death Totem, and many more. For a full list, plus the complete list of updates and adjustments, please view the Patch Notes.
Along with the addition of Revenant, the Underworld update will also include a new Battle Pass and a new event featuring two new modes.
New Event: Nightmare Begins
With the return of Revenant, Requiem Supply bins have begun to spawn all around World’s Edge and Kings Canyon.
These supply bins have Metal Skulls in them, a new seasonal currency you can use to unlock awesome rewards!
- Airdrop Escalation
A mysterious benefactor has sponsored the Airdrops for this season of the Apex Games. During this limited-time event, the rate at which Airdrops land on the map will be increased and equipped with fully kitted weapons!
- Second Shot
Second Shot is a Battle Royale limited-time mode that enables you to instantly revive when your enemies least expect it. Wait for your foes to drop their guard and return the killing blow for sweet revenge!
Apex Legends Mobile is a strategic battle royale game that features a unique twist on the Legendary character-based gameplay, best-in-class squad battles and fast-paced combat that cemented the game’s place as one of world’s top shooters, all in a mobile package.
