Apex Legends Details Season 27 'Amped' With Olympus Overhaul, Movement Boosts, and Major Legend Reworks

Respawn signals a pivot toward high-speed aerial play by formalizing niche movement techniques.

Overview

  • Season 27 launches November 4 at 10 a.m. PT/1 p.m. ET across all platforms.
  • Olympus is reworked with four new POIs—Somers University, Gravity Engine, Stabilizer, and Dockyard—to emphasize vertical combat, rotation options, and safer map flow.
  • Mantle Boost becomes an official, signposted movement burst for easier ledge climbs, with Tridents gaining visible health and improved collision for clearer high-speed play.
  • Valkyrie’s kit is overhauled with faster, speed-boosted VTOL Jets, a quicker Skyward Dive, and a Missile Swarm that scans on hit without self-damage and interacts with movement passives.
  • Horizon and Rampart receive mobility-focused upgrades, including a faster, more controllable Gravity Lift and sturdier Amped Cover that regenerates, adds a roof, and grants infinite ammo with quicker reloads to allies; the Alternator gains Double Tap via in-match unlocks, and the Supersonic Wildcard event runs November 18–December 16 with a Mythic R-99 that fires Missile Swarm.
