Season 12: Defiance begins on February 9.
It’s that time in the Apex Legends calendar once more where teasers for the next season begin to drop—starting with a look at our rebellious next Legend, Mad Maggie.
Introduced a whole year back, Mags was a lifelong bud with fellow Salvonian (and Season 8 hero) Fuse, until a wee disagreement saw her blow off his arm. Maggie then briefly took over the games in that season’s War Games limited-time mode, before apparently being killed during those events.
Today’s new Stories from the Outlands trailer tells us she survived, and has been spending the last year rioting across space. Eventually captured by the Syndicate (the government of this weird, bloodsport-obsessed corner of the galaxy), she’s punished for her resistance by being sent to fight in the Apex Games—but not before spitting a dislodged tooth into someone’s eye. Grim.
Control will be limited to the first 3 weeks of Season 12, but I’m very excited to see Apex tackle a more traditional FPS mode. Those first three weeks also mark Apex Legends’ third anniversary, with login rewards letting you unlock Wattson, Octane and Valkyrie for free.
Apex Legends Season 12: Defiance kicks off on February 9.
20 years ago, Nat played Jet Set Radio Future for the first time—and she’s not stopped thinking about games since. Joining PC Gamer in 2020, she comes from three years of freelance reporting at Rock Paper Shotgun, Waypoint, VG247 and more. Embedded in the European indie scene and having herself developed critically acclaimed small games like Can Androids Pray, Nat is always looking for a new curiosity to scream about—whether it’s the next best indie darling, or simply someone modding a Scotmid into Black Mesa. She’s also played for a competitive Splatoon team, and unofficially appears in Apex Legends under the pseudonym Horizon.
