When the Apex Season 26 release date rolls around, there is a host of exciting changes to jump in and try. The standout addition to the game is a brand new, fast paced game mode called Wildcard. This is a permeant mode, not an LTM which shows just how good Respawn think it is.

We also have a total revamp of the Apex ranked system, including the removal of the drop ship and some new rewards. You can play the new Apex ranked on the reworked E-District, that has had some tweaks and adjustments to improve playability.

Caustic and Bangalore have both taken some nice buffs, and the RE-45 is becoming the games first ever Elite Weapon too. If that wasn't enough, there is the usual suite of balance changes and QOL improvements that include a nice new progression system and new in game abilities called Amps.

Overall this looks set to be a really exciting season of Apex. Check out the rest of the exciting changes coming in Apex Legends Season 26.
