Electronic Arts and Respawn Entertainment revealed new details and a brand new gameplay trailer for Apex Legends: Shockwave, set to launch next week. The team showed off all of the new additions coming to the game, as you're getting a new map, a new weapon meta for the Akimbo, the addition of Battle Sense, Free Revivals for up to four rounds to make things interesting, and more. We have the dev notes and the trailer here before it launches on August 6.

Apex Legends: Shockwave

We all need a jumpstart occasionally, Legends. Nothing too shocking, but you may still want to ground yourself first. Shockwave is fully charged and ready to light up your time in the Outlands. The energy is palpable with the new respawn mechanic in Trios Revival (and Straight Shot Revival in our first event of the season), allowing you and the squad to get back into the fight sooner. Why not take a trip to E-District, our latest map, where it's always lit with neon lights. Or light things up yourself with the all-new Akimbo by dual-wielding P2020s or Mozambiques for extra firepower. Don't get it twisted. The Apex Games are no vacation. Keep your wits about you with Battle Sense: enemy health bars and highlights become temporarily visible after you deal damage. Whether you're new, returning, or looking for a change of pace, you can warm up, practice, and hone your skills in the new Bot Royale mode where you'll face bots in a condensed Battle Royale experience.

Free Revivals – Stay in the games with Unlimited Revivals until the end of Round 4. As long as one squadmate is alive, players and their squad will always be recharged with revivals.
New Map: E-District – Raising the voltage brings E-District, the newest close-quarters map built for verticality and instant, continuous action. A neon playground where anything can happen.
Battle Sense – Players will feel their power surge with visible Enemy Health Bars and Highlights – just don't lose line of sight.
Straight Shot Revival & Bot Royale – Dropping hot with some updates – players will always have another straight shot starting early on in Shockwave. Additionally, the new Bot Royale mode will be available starting August 6 and lets players get real combat experience while sending bots to the scrapyard either solo or with a premade squad.
New Weapon Meta: Akimbo – With both guns blazing, players can dual-wield P2020s and Mozambiques to galvanize the battlefield and automatically double up on firepower.
