Apex Legends Season 15 New Map: Shattered Moon
As teased in the trailers we’ve seen so far, players will travel to the moon orbiting the North Star this season. waning moon It’s been in development since Season 8 (about 18 months) and stands out as a partially terraformed satellite. According to World Director Ed Agostini, before Apex Games came to town, it was a colony in formation and all the work was done.
As such, the map mixes industrial equipment, unfinished buildings, furniture for workers and comfortable dwellings. “We don’t want the moon to be a dark, depressing map,” Agostini said. “When we create a map, we have an idea of heaven and hell, light and darkness.” This is reflected in some parts of the map where delightful POIs are being built, while other potions are unfinished and desolate.
In terms of gameplay, lead level designer Jeff Shaw talked about one of the main design goals of the map: to diversify how players typically navigate in Apex Games. “We wanted to blend the typical trajectories of maps, where people start at the edge and enter” To achieve this, Broken Moon has two main differences from other maps. zipper railand giant point of interest.
zipper rail is an exclusive feature to Broken Moon, the team is “super hyped” and acts as a transport system that takes you up and down the map to set locations that bounce up and down, essentially giving you a quick way to navigate the moon, at the expense of safety . Not only will people be able to shoot at you as you zoom around on the track, but it will also be less accurate on the track, so weighing the pros and cons of using it will be something players will have to consider.
As for large point of interestBroken Moon mixes the typical smaller “sweaty” POIs where you get quick fights and explosive starts, these massive POIs about the size of two POIs glued together.
Jeff Shaw elaborated on the benefits, saying: “Our goal is to moderate the heat buildup early in the game… We really wanted to give the squad a reason to visit that POI, but feel more comfortable. A bigger POI means More landing options, more shared space and more loot options.”
All in all, Broken Moon is slightly bigger than World’s Edge and brings variety to the shiny additions to mix in the usual pace and feel of an Apex Legends game. When the 15th season of Eclipse launches, it will be part of the map rotation along with Olympus and World’s Edge.
