The countdown to Season 22’s release is on.

Apex Legends Season 22 launches on Tuesday, August 6. Called 'Shockwave', Season 22 will bring a range of changes to the game including the brand new map, E-District. This is the first new map to release into Apex Legends for nearly two years, with Broken Moon releasing all the way back in Season 15. So, when does Apex Season 22 release in your local time zone?

Season 22 details:

Apex Legends Season 22 release time

Season 22 of Apex Legends will release at the following times:

  • 10 a.m. PDT - West Coast NA
  • 1 p.m. EDT - East Coast NA
  • 6 p.m. BST - United Kingdom
  • 7 p.m. CET - Germany
  • 4 a.m. SGT - Singapore on August 8 (+1 day)

What will Season 22 bring to the game?

The main focus for the Season 22 release in Apex Legends is the brand new map, E-District. It has been a long time since a new map came to the Battle Royale, and E-District looks and feels totally different to anything else the game has to offer.

In addition Season 22 will release the long rumoured Akimbo feature for Pistols. This will apply to the P2020 and Mozambique initially, with those weapons getting a few buffs when in Akimbo mode. Akimbo could provide a fresh and exciting option for a secondary, breathing life into two underused weapons.

Further to all of that, there is a new 'game sense' mechanic being rolled out into all Battle Royale games. We saw something very similar in the Solos LTM, and Devs hope this will make the game more accessible.

Overall, Apex Season 22 seems like it will be well worth jumping into on release. So make sure to clear your calendar and make some space on your hard drive ready for August 6.
