What to expect in Apex Legends Season 12: Mad Maggie, Olympus, and Control
A new season means a new Legend, and Mad Maggie is ready to cause some mayhem when she finally debuts as a playable character in Season 12. We've now seen her full set of abilities and it seems that Maggie will be able to push enemies with ferocious speed, making her the perfect attacker.
You can also expect to see the debut of Sabotaged Olympus, which adds wreckage and debris across the futuristic city while also moving around various buildings and objects. This fresh layout will provide extra cover for squads, filling in some previously-barren areas and making it much easier to find defensible locations during a fight.
Of course, Season 12 will also bring a new Battle Pass, loaded with plenty of skins, banners, XP boosts, and Apex Coins to spend in the store. If you’re looking for new ways to play, a limited-time 9v9 mode called Control will also launch with Season 12. Control allows players to select loadouts before dropping into a smaller map in a domination-style team mode, in which you’ll battle it out to capture zones with infinite respawns. Control will arrive on February 8th with the Season 12 update and run for a total of 3 weeks, before it leaves on March 1st.
