NEW UPDATES COMING WITH APEX LEGENDS™: OVERCLOCKEDThe start of a new season seems like a great time to check in on The Road Ahead.When we released this roadmap earlier this year, we told you that what we had on the graphic was just the start. We’re excited to announce a new addition: a Major Ranked Update is slated for Season 32. We hear your continued feedback and know that Ranked is an important part of your Apex Legends journey. Our team is continuously working on the Ranked mode, testing and tweaking to give you the best competitive experience possible. That work will continue and when Season 32 arrives, Ranked will have a brand new look and feel; we can’t wait to tell you more when the time is right!Now get ready to push it to the limits and redline all season in OVERCLOCKED.In Overclocked, fortune favors the fearless. Move fast and hit hard with Axle, the new hypermobile Legend who will push you to go beyond your limits.
