Apex Legends, like most battle royales, segments its available loot and modes with a seasons system.
Each season lasts about three months and introduces a new legend, balance changes, and a new battle pass. Seasons also often include new cosmetic items, weapons, maps, and more.
Starting with season five, released back in 2020, quests were added to the game. These daily and weekly goals help players accrue points toward the battle pass, which grants rewards for each level attained. Quests can also be aligned with collection or lore events and can feature their own trackers separate from that season’s battle pass.
The most recent season, called Eclipse, is set to begin on Nov. 1. It will feature new legend Catalyst, a new battle royale map, and a new item gifting feature alongside more new content and balance changes.
Here are the start and end dates for all Apex Legends seasons.
