Remastered legend classes, Nemesis assault rifle, and more coming to Apex Legends: Revelry

Respawn released a new developer diary and blog post detailing all the content coming to Apex Legends’ newest update. The highlights include a limited-time Team Deathmatch mode, remastered Legend classes, and the new energy assault rifle Nemesis! You can check out the new trailer for Apex Legends: Revelry below and read the full blog post here!

We’ve been introducing a new Legend every season and this year we wanted to take a break from releasing a new Legend, you’ll see new Legends in the future but for now, we wanted to see how the core Legends could evolve the ways players have been using them. This season we’ll be adjusting all Legends and introducing a rework to our Class system that we’re calling “Remastered Legend Classes”.

There will be 5 Classes:

–Assault

–Recon

–Skirmisher

–Controller

–Support

Each class will now have some kind of meaningful, unique perk—whether that be the way a Legend can interact with new loot bins or new ways to revive teammates.

We’ll also be introducing a few buffs and nerfs across several Legends including Lifeline, Seer, and Wraith. We’ll share full details on Legend changes when we release the patch notes closer to Revelry’s launch.

But we’re excited to announce that at the launch of Revelry, we’ll be debuting Team Deathmatch to the Apex Games. Available for the first 3 weeks of the season, TDM  has been our community’s most requested mode and we’re excited to be delivering this at launch.

We’ve also heard from our players that they want a permanent modes playlist and we’re thrilled to announce that in early March we will be releasing Mixtape.

Featuring a rotation of TDM, Gun Run, and Control, we see Mixtape as a great way for players to test out a new Legend, practice their skills, and just experience that signature Apex Legends gameplay in real combat situations with little downtime between fights.

It’s been a while since we unleashed a new weapon and the wait will be over when Revelry launches with a new energy weapon: The Nemesis. We’re hoping to see this potentially unseat favorite standbys like the R-301 and Flatline.
