Apex Legends is ready to take players on a nostalgic journey with the new Limited-Time Mode (LTM) Launch Royale, aiming to resurrect the thrilling experience of the game’s early days. Launch Royale drops players back into the original World’s Edge map with all the vintage weapons, Legends, abilities, and gameplay rules from 2019. Kings Canyon, the wild frontier where battle royales began to revolutionize the gaming landscape, returns in its most authentic form.

Equipped with a new, aggressive kit, Lifeline’s abilities aim to keep her in the thick of the action while still providing essential support to her teammates. Among her abilities:

D.O.C. Halo: Activates a Halo Shield System, allowing players within to consume health and shield items faster. Rift Relics are mysterious items from another dimension that promise unique and powerful enhancements.
