If the recent leaks are anything to go by, it looks like the next season of Apex Legends is going to have a big focus on class overhauls. Season 15 of Apex Legends is currently underway and is set to be the second-longest season in the game's history, lasting around 105 days. Despite the release of tons of new content in Season 15, including exciting events, a Broken Moon map, and the new defensive Legend Catalyst, many fans were still unsatisfied.Apex Legends' Season 16 is set to release in February 2023, and with it comes a slew of potential new changes and improvements. As usual with any new season, leakers have already started to publicize some of the possible content that may or may not be included in Apex Legend Season 16. While some of these leaks may be accurate, it's always best to take them with a grain of salt until an official announcement is made.Thordansmash recently tweeted an image of the leaked info regarding the upcoming Season 16 of the Apex Legends. According to the leak, Respawn Entertainment is working on overhauling Apex's current class system along with major Legend rework. The leak suggests that Respawn might introduce two new classes - Assault and Skirmisher - to help players differentiate between Attack Legends. The Assault class will be getting red bins along with extra inventory ammo, while the Skirmisher class will be getting hit-and-run type Legends which include the likes of wraith and Mirage.
The leaks also indicate that Defense Legends Caustic, Rampart, Watson, and Catalyst will be shifted to Control Legends while Gibby and Newcastle will be shifted to the Support class. Recon class is said to receive no changes according to the leak while the Pathfinder and Mirage will receive reworks. The new class of Apex Legends system will have more variation among the roles, giving players more choices when it comes to their play style.
There's no denying that these leaks have not been confirmed, but the leaker has a very reliable track record. He is constantly leaking a lot of information regarding the upcoming season of Apex Legends and some of this information includes the addition of a Hardcore Mode, a new submachine gun, and more. The current class system in Apex Legends is quite limited, and many players feel that it does not add much depth to the game. The potential overhaul of the class system could add a lot more variety and strategic options to the game. This is something that many fans have been wanting for a long time, and it is great to see that the developers are finally considering it.
Apex Legends is available now on Mobile, PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
