Apex Legends: Escape Release Time - What time does the update go live?

Apex Legends: Escape is the latest massive update for the folk at Respawn Entertainment’s gigantic battle royale title, signaling the start of a whole new season with a gigantic new map, a returning Titanfall antagonist as a playable character, the fancy new C.A.R SMG and more!

What time does Apex Legends: Escape go live?

However, if you’re itching to dive into the new content you may be wondering when exactly the update will be released? Looking at the official website and many social media accounts doesn’t provide an exact date for launch quite yet. Apex Legends Escape will be following the trend set by previous expansions, and will launch at the 10AM PDT / 1PM EDT / 6PM BST.

It's no secret that Olympus, the third map to be released in Apex Legends, was not exactly the favourite of many of the battle royale's top competitive players. However, with Storm Point, Apex's fourth map that drops with Season 11: Escape, Respawn is confident they have a competitively viable battleground on its hands.

For a start, Storm Point has been designed by Rodney Reece, who created the competitive scene's current map of choice, World's Edge. While Storm Point is pushing boundaries in terms of its size and introduces a new loot mechanic in the form of wildlife, all of its innovations appear to have been made with considerations of the competitive scene in mind. Speaking to The Loadout, Reece lifts the lid on how some members of the competitive Apex community helped shape the most striking aspect of Storm Point - its verticality.

"From a competitive perspective, we knew this could be problematic," Reece admits. "There were a lot of things to solve. So immediately, we did internal play tests, where we bring competitive players in. The main thing that we were looking at at the time were the negative aspects that the competitive community didn't like about it.

Побег из Titanfall: Что ждет игроков в 11-м сезоне Apex Legends

На прошлой неделе издательство Electronic Arts провело презентацию игры Apex Legends, посвященную старту 11-го сезона "Побег". Побывала на мероприятии и редакция GameMAG.ru.

Apex Legends Season 11 changes ranked RP scoring system

Apex Legends' ranked mode is getting a bit of a shakeup in Season 11: Escape. As well as allowing players to dive straight into new map Storm Point in the first split of the season, players will have a revised ranked battle royale scoring system to get their heads around too.

While the base principle remains the same - kills, placement bonuses, and placement scores all combine to give you an end RP score - the maths is changing somewhat for ranked Season 11. While placement points will all stay the same, Respawn is relaxing the rules on RP earned through kills and assists. Say goodbye to the six-kill cut off for RP, and say hello to a more dynamic scoring system.

So how does it work? Well, for a start, the amount of RP you earn for each kill or assist will now scale depending on the rank of the opponent. If you're a Platinum-ranked player and kill a Diamond player, you will receive 12 RP, rather than the standard 10 RP. This also scales down too, so if you're a Gold player killing a Silver player, you will earn only 8 RP.
