We will be upfront, transparent, and honest in our communication and support of Apex Legends as we all embark on this journey together. 2.We hope Apex Legends is something you can see yourself playing for years to come, and we intend to take your time and trust seriously. The updated Kings Canyon will come to Apex when season eight, Mayhem, lands on Feb. It seems like its substitute will change that dynamic and make for clearer combat opportunities inside the buildings, and make it easier for mid-to-long-range combat across the POI-an unlikely scenario with Slum Lakes.


Slum Lakes was a Skull Town-like maze, a concentrated, loot-filled shanty town that would normally benefit close-to-mid-range encounters due to the sheer amount of cover and visual obstruction. The surrounding POIs, including the Pit and Runoff, seem to be in one piece.

Visually, the area is reminiscent of more modern additions to Apex Legends, including the clean industrial style of buildings in World’s Edge, and, more recently, in Capacitor in Kings Canyon. Screengrab via Respawn Entertainment/Shrugtal The top floor of one structure contains a series of small house-like buildings, likely connected to each other, while the other appears to resemble the snake-like houses in Geyser or Survey Camp. They seem to have more than one story and a series of walkways and stairs that will allow players to navigate through the outside. The image shows an area-a “bigger POI with better loot and better combat space,” according to design director Jason McCord- with two small industrial facilities opposite each other: one on the west and another on the east. The launch trailer ends with a promo screen and a link to Fuse’s episode of Stories from the Outlands, “Good As Gold.” But a YouTube annotation conceals a screenshot of the updated area near Slum Lakes, according to data miner Shrugtal.

Mags blew up a chunk of Kings Canyon in Apex Legends’ season eight launch trailer today, but a hidden thumbnail in the video may deliver a first look at what a section of the new landscape could look like.
