Similar to most Battle Royal style games likeCall of Duty: WarzoneorFortnite, Respawn Entertainment’s popularApex Legendshas continued to spice up the experience for its fans through various updates. New maps, characters, loot, and especially Limited Time Modes and events have consistently come and gone to provide something new for longtime players. With Season 9,Kings Canyon experienced more than a few changesthanks in large part to the most recent character addition, Fuse.
The Chaos Theory event is currently ongoing inApex Legendsand it brought with it aspecial Limited Time Mode called Ring Fury. While the basic Apex Legends rules still apply, players must avoid ring flares which randomly appear and damage any who are caught inside. The mode is constantly evolving with new rules such as the current Level 2 which adds one massive ring flare into the arena. However, it appears that mode special modes may be on the way if a new leak is any indication.

For those who may be craving something a little different than the typical battle royale style gameplay, Respawn may be working on expandingApex Legendsbeyond its traditional roots. The first leaks for alternative modes started surfacing last year, pointing to a potential 3v3 mode thanks to a UI addition on the Play menu for something called Arena. While that has yet to come to fruition,Apex Legendsdataminer Biast12 has found even new information inside of the game files lending more evidence to an Arena deathmatch mode.
The reliable dataminer has found all sorts of assets including a flyover section for the small arenas without textures. Badges can also be earned for taking part in this mode with one called Impress Me featuring the face of Ash, a character fromTitanfall 2and most recently, aninvolved storyline forApex Legends. Screen assists were also uncovered, depicting the familiar Apex Legends symbol on a greenish-blue background.
As exciting as these discoveries may be, nothing is confirmed and if previous leaks are any indication, there’s no telling when something like this could arrive. However, Respawn have previously teased that players should expect the unexpected in Season 9, so anything is possible at this point. It’s also possible that these discoveries could be related to anotherleaked event known as War Games, where Fuse’s longtime rival Mad Maggie makes her return. It’s also possible that these two discoveries are unrelated and that War Games will be structured to other recent events like Chaos Theory.
Apex Legendsis available now on PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Switch.
