Apex Legends Season 13 teasers hint at arrival of huge sea monster

Apex Legends is just getting weirder and weirder - and we love it. We're still weeks away from the Apex Legends Season 13 release date, but that hasn't stopped Respawn Entertainment from teasing what's coming to the popular battle royale shooter on social media. There are a lot of questions that still need answering, but fans think that the latest Apex Legends Season 13 teasers hint at the arrival of a monstrous sea monster - that'll sure make the Apex Games a little more interesting, won't it?


Last month, eagle-eyed Apex Legends players started spotting towering Leviathans wading in the waters around Storm Point - the latest map to be released. 'NamelessWinters' shared a screenshot on ApexUncovered, a subreddit focused on Apex Legends' teasers and leaks.


This isn't the first time players have seen Leviathans stomping around an Apex Legends map, but the recent teasers suggest that something a lot bigger is on the horizon. With a fast-moving anomaly on the scanners and huge underwater seismic activity readings, they might just be right.

Apex Legends dev shares fix for error code temp-banning players

Respawn Entertainment is always tweaking its battle royale and, usually, these minor changes improve player experience and the stability of the game. However, that isn't always the case and Apex Legends' latest update has caused an unusual error code to pop up for players mid-game. It's not just kicking players from their matches, though - this error code can even issue you with a ten-minute temporary ban. Thankfully, a developer has shared a quick work-around on Reddit.


Reddit user 'Flexatronn' is just one of several Apex Legends players who have taken to the online forum to express their dismay at being randomly kicked from a live game of Apex Legends and, in many cases, being temporarily banned for ten minutes after seeing the following error code: 'sh_weapon_cosmetics.nut #531'


Looking at the text related to the error code, it's clear that the issue is related to a weapon cosmetic - and, 'rspn_exgeniar' (which we think is live technical designer Aaron Li, looking at Apex Legends' credits list) has highlighted what players need to look out for if they want to avoid this issue.

Apex Legends Season 13 release date, teasers, leaks, and more

Apex Legends' twelfth season started a couple of months ago now and it's time for players to look forward to the future of Respawn Entertainment's battle royale shooter and the Apex Legends Season 13 release date. We have everything you need to know about the latest leaks and rumours too - the next season is bound to be exciting following the huge slew of Apex Legends character leaks last month.


We know it feels as though Mad Maggie has been kicking around the Apex Games since the start, but she has only been on the roster since the start of Apex Legends' latest season - dubbed 'Defiance' - which started on February 8. That means we're approaching the Apex Legends Season 13 release date - if you look at the average length of a season.


We don't know exactly what to expect, but here's the latest information on when Season 13 should start and what we could see. Data miners have been working hard to unpick the game's files and it looks like there's some exciting stuff in the works.
