Respawn has been cagey about upcoming map changes. The company hasn’t been silent, but the information the developers have provided is difficult to decipher.
Last month, players found an Easter egg of what appeared to be a map for a mysterious underground facility. Fast forward to a May 4 tweet from the official Apex Legends Twitter account containing an expanded version of the map, this time as a GIF that also displays an above-ground dome. Many gamers agree this is a depiction of a new location in Kings Canyon, and the teasers imply combatants might have a new underground area to explore and fight in.
Assuming the rumor is true, Respawn will also probably take something away. The Season 5 launch trailer features the demolition of an underground laboratory full of Revenants. More importantly, the trailer shows a very familiar skull sinking into the water beneath the area where the lab used to be. Apparently the facility was situated underneath Skull Town, which probably means players will have to say bye-bye to the area come Season 5.
Of course, these theories are unconfirmed. Skull Town might be safe and sound when the update launches. Just be prepared either way.
