EA and Respawn Entertainment are pleased to announce the release of Season 2: Distortion update for Apex Legends Mobile which is available now for players in all regions where the game is available. After the Cold Snap mid-season update, which saw the return of fan-favourite Loba, Season 2: Distortion will debut the second mobile-first legend Rhapsody. This new legend is a rhythm-loving DJ with a cute but deadly AI-controlled helper bot named “Rowdy”.
Along with a new legend, Season 2: Distortion also brings in new features and content including a new map, a new mode, and the mobile debut of the fan-favourite map and the home to Skull Town: King’ Canyon. Here are some of the key features of Season 2 Distortion.
Apex Legends Mobile New Maps:
- Pythas Block 0: A beautiful mobile-first Team Deathmatch map, Pythas Block 0 is a corporate campus owned by Pythas Inc. that sits high above the city Kómma on Solace.

New Modes:

After three points have been attained, the Satellite will punish your opponents by frying them to a crisp. As defenders, your job is to stop the hackers at all costs!
