The Apex Legends Season 15 update is live, and the changes bring another facelift to this high-octane Battle Royale title.
Every drop in Apex Legends is a new experience. From hunting down every chest for the best loot to racing to defeat enemy troops in your favorite locations, Apex Legends has made a name for itself amidst a sea of similarly styled games.
That’s because unlike other big Battle Royale hits like Fortnite and Warzone, Apex Legends has prioritized its own brand of combo that includes fast-moving and unique character abilities over more gimmicky approaches.
So, while you spend some time fiddling with weapon attachments, no one will turn into a house when you fire your gun – you have to fight in the Gulag to get back in the fight.
Season 13 of Apex Legends saw some ranked changes (which felt awful for the lower ranks), changes to Stormpoint, and a new legend for Newcastle.
Fortunately, season 15, titled Eclipse, does not disappoint.
Whether you’re returning to Apex Legends or never left, there’s plenty to do in the new update. Here’s what to pay attention to.

Apex Legends update: Catalyst, a new legend
The new season brings a lot of changes, and in this case, another new playable character. Born on Planet Boreas and far more fond of spellcasting than human company, Catalyst is a sorceress who wields magic and just so happens to be Respawn’s first openly transgender Legend.
She found solace on the moon, Cleo, after the devastating loss of her closest friend prior to the events of season 15.
- Passive (barricade): Fortify and fortify doors by closing them to enemies
- Tactical ability (piercing spikes): Drop some ferrofluid that crystallizes into spikes, damaging enemies and protecting the Catalyst from their spikes
- Ultimate Ability (Dark Veil): Release a ferrofluid wall that gradually blinds enemies passing through it
Apex Legends Update: Season 15 Battle Pass
A new season means a new Battle Pass, and Eclipse brings it to Apex Legends Season 15. Access to the premium version of the pass will make you lose access 950 Apex Coins ($10/£8/$11.95).
As for the cosmetics, you can see a few of them in the trailer above.
