A control point game mode just simply called “Control” is being added to Apex Legends for a limited-time. It will be present in the game for the first three weeks of Season 12, and will be a 9v9 battle with infinite respawns.

Map Update: Olympus

For Season 12: Defiance, the third map added to the game, Olympus, is going back into the rotation. Along with its return, a couple of changes are happening to the map, but these changes will be less destructive than some of the prior map changes.
