Apex Legends Mobile Prime Time Update Prepares for Today’s Launch

Apex Legends Mobile launched worldwide today on both iOS and Android and to prepare for the launch, EA has launched the Prime Time patch that introduces a new, exclusive Legend, and a new arena map. There is also a new training level, an autofill function, and plenty of bug fixes and gameplay improvements.

Apex Legends Mobile Prime Time Patch notes

New Legend Fade is a military-tech hunter whose real name is Ignacio Huamaní. He and his family used to “recover” weapons and sell them to the highest bidder. Unfortunately, he got too ambitious and took on a contract that led to the death of his entire family. At the same time, his suit propelled him to an alternate dimension. Now he’s back for the Apex Games and he’s looking for redemption. His passive ability Slipstream gives him a movement speed boost at the end of a slide. His tactical ability focuses on that suit’s ability to teleport, pulling him back through another dimension to his previous location. Finally, his Phase Chamber affects everyone within its blast radius, meaning they can’t deal or receive any damage.

The new arena map is called Overflow and is named after the lava that flows in channels around the map. There are plenty of tight corners, lanes, and flanking opportunities to be had. The Advance Training Level mode will give players a chance to practice advanced techniques and weapon handling skills, while weekly challenges will offer plenty of rewards. Auto team fill will add players into Team Deathmatch games if others leave before the match has ended, while squads can now pick challenges they want to complete together for exclusive rewards from the Club Store.

There are new items in the shop, including the Season One Battle Pass that unlocks Fade at level 25, as well as new emojis. The rest of the new content can be seen in the patch notes below:
