Apex Legends' new season is just a couple of weeks away, and today Respawn released a launch trailer announcing a brand new game mode. Named Arenas, it looks like players will soon have the option to duck out of the usual battle royale mode, and jump into a little 3v3 shoot 'em up. Catch the trailer for yourself below; it features lots of cinematic fights, at least ten Mirages having a party, and a first look at new Legend Valkyrie spreading her wings in the Apex Games.
Respawn has released the launch trailer for Apex Legends: Legacy (that's Season 9 by the way), and it has shone some light on what we can expect from the new season. The biggest additions are obviously more footage of the newest member of the Apex Legends, Valkyrie, and Ash's devious new game mode, Arenas.
Ash has been alluding to the rumoured Apex Legends Arena mode for a while now, and she has finally confirmed that the new mode is coming soon. We'll find out more with an Arenas gameplay reveal on April 26.
We're still waiting on a proper gameplay trailer that will show us all of Valk's abilities and how she fits into the current meta (and where she'll land in our Apex Legends tier list), but she already appears to have plenty of firepower - likely due to her explosive upbringing and profession as a smuggler. She's also got a keen eye for the new Bocek Bow.

Renegades has announced its entering a new esport after picking up a roster for Apex Legends. The team already competes in Call of Duty, CS:GO, Valorant, and Rocket League, but it has now announced its first foray into the battle royale genre by picking up the roster formerly known as Peanut Butter Sandwiches. With the Apex Legends esports scene growing from strength to strength, and with three other rosters competing in competitive FPS games, it seems like a sensible move from Renegades.
Jason 'Sauceror' Li, Christian 'PowPow' Blaylock, and Rafael 'bowswer' Canadas competed as an orgless team during the Apex Legends Global Series Winter Circuit, reaching considerable success. Their highest placing was a respectable fourth in Winter Circuit 3, but they made the finals in every ALGS tournament of the quarter, and reached 13th place in the Winter Circuit Playoffs.
PowPow stepped back from his place in CLG's roster in January 2021, in order to focus on his mental health, confidence, and motivation in a lower-pressure environment. However, he seems pleased to have signed a contract with Renegades, tweeting cowboy emojis and Simpsons gifs to tease Peanut Butter Sandwiches' new contract.
