Apex Legends Arena mode: release date, 3v3, and more

Apex Legends Arena mode is a datamined mode coming to the game soon. While it is yet to be confirmed and, as a datamine, could change at any point, from what we know so far it looks like it will be a fun new way to play Apex Legends.
Arena mode will pit one team against one other - taking the 'battle royale' element away from Respawn's hit FPS game. As one of the best battle royale games, this could be seen as a risky move, but we're down to see how a Team Deathmatch-esque mode works out when you add different legends and abilities into the mix.
Of course, a Respawn blog post mentioned that the developer would be bringing new ways to play and "take us beyond battle royale," and it seems that this is the direction they're taking. As such, we've gathered every scrap of mined data and every hint that Respawn has given to present you with the clearest picture of Apex Legends Arena mode you can find.
