We know it might go somewhat without saying, but Apex Legends' Eclipse update is going to be a season worth remembering when it comes to this battle royale shooter. Not only is another legend named Catalyst joining the Apex Games, a terraformer coming for Gibraltar's crown and the first binary trans legend on the roster, we're also getting a new lunar-located map: Broken Moon. Ahead of the hotly anticipated Apex Legends Season 15 start date, we were fortunate enough to talk to design director Evan Nikolich about how Respawn Entertainment thinks Ranked players will respond to the new map - and, he wasn't quite sure.
When asked whether he thinks Broken Moon will be something of a hit with players attempting to clamber up the Apex Legends ranks, Nikolich answered honestly and expressed that this sort of thing is just "really hard to tell".
Now, that might sound like a bit of a cop-out answer, but Nikolich continues by explaining why this is the case - and why it's probably going to be the case for Apex Legends' next new map. You know, if there is a next one, of course. (We didn't get to ask about that.)
