Apex Legends' Broken Moon is built with LTMs like Control in mind

Apex Legends' Season 15 start date is almost upon us and there's a lot to look forward to when it comes to this battle royale's Eclipse update. We know the fact that Apex Legends' Catalyst might have abilities like Valorant's Viper is exciting, but we really need to talk about how amazing Broken Moon looks - this shooter's new map. As something of an amalgamation of all the lessons Respawn Entertainment has learnt, when it comes to map design, throughout this battle royale's lifetime, this is sure to be a fantastic environment to fight in. Interestingly, though, the developers aren't just looking at Apex Legends' battle royale for information when it comes to designing a new map and its POIs - they use the LTMs to influence decisions too.

Discussing the development of Season 15's Broken Moon with Apex Legends' lead level designer Jeff Shaw, we found out that Respawn Entertainment is starting to think about POIs "in the inverse", thanks to the popularity of LTMs - like Control.

Now, that's all well and good, but what does this actually mean? Well, it means that Respawn Entertainment are actively considering LTMs when they're designing new maps and POIs - asking questions like "if we were to put Control on this map, hypothetically, where could we put it?"

Apex Legends season 15 introduces stickers, the new Broken Moon map, and zip rails!

Apex Legends Season 15 Eclipse is almost here, and it’s bringing with it a bunch of new features that’ll have battle royale fans and collectors excited with the new Broken Moon map, Cosmetic stickers, non region locked gifting and a brand new cybernetic battle pass.

In this article, not only will we take a journey through all the new content (temporary and otherwise), you’ll also be able to read the thoughts of the development team behind the season, who shared added info via a press and influencer event earlier this month.

As was teased in the trailers we’ve seen so far, players will be headed to the Moon orbiting Boreas this season. Broken Moon has been in development since just after season 8 — roughly 18 months — and stands out as a partially terraformed moon. According to world director Ed Agostini, it was a colony in the making until the Apex Games came to town, putting all the work to an end.

Season 15 of Apex Legends is ziprailing its way towards us at a frightening speed. When it lands at the end of the month, it'll bring with it a new Legend, just like every new Season - but even more significantly, Apex Legends: Eclipse will introduce the fifth Apex map, a big and beautiful multi-biome arena called Broken Moon.
