Apex Legends Season 7 Ascension revealed, will feature new map and legend

Respawn has finally announced details about the next season of Apex Legends, and it'll introduce a new map, a new legend, and will add some form of vehicle into the game.

Season 7 in Apex Legends will be titled Ascension and will see the battle royale's third map, Olympus, drop. Described as a "beautiful, lush city in the clouds," Olympus sounds like it'll have a bit of a different vibe to the harshness of Kings Canyon and World's Edge. We'll just have to wait for a first look at the map to confirm these suspicions, though. There will also be a fresh way to traverse Olympus with Apex Legends' first crack at driveable vehicles. While the image doesn't give much away, it appears that a small ship called The Trident will allow you and your squadmates to hop in and cover ground quickly.

And, of course, with every new season comes a new legend. And this one is a right bonnie lass who has been teased by Respawn for a wee while now. Scottish astrophysicist Dr Mary Somers, who has the much catchier in-game name of Horizon, will become the game's 15th legend in Season 7, and her skill set includes a "mastery of gravity." We're still awaiting the specifics on her abilities, but expect some floating.
