Apex Legends is still rolling out new Seasonal content, with Season 28 celebrating the game’s seventh anniversary. It’s launching on February 10, 2026, and it marks a serious shift in the game’s meta.
Major Legend updates, new destructible environments, and huge changes to Ranked are just the tip of the iceberg for the upcoming Apex Legends Season. It’s building up to be a game-changing update for the battle royale, and the Early Patch Notes have all the details.
Biggest Apex Legends Season 28 Changes
Plenty of changes are coming to Apex Legends in Season 28, but the headlines are bound to follow the new Hardlight Mesh, as well as Fuze’s reworks.
Hardlight Mesh is a new, destructible window that will be present across existing structures. It provides renewed cover, but it can be destroyed, taking increased damage from certain weapon classes and weapon abilities. Controller class Legends can even rebuild them, adding another tactical layer to navigating the shrinking zone.
Fuze is the legend that takes center stage in Breach, as he’s seen a complete rework to his kit. However, Bloodhound and Catalyst have also seen some buffs, with further details coming on February 6.
For Ranked players out there, you’ll be glad to hear that the Dropship is returning. Respawn wanted to bring the mode into closer parity with the ALGS, but after some experimentation in prior Seasons, felt it was best to bring it back.
Additionally, Bot Royale lobbies are being reworked, some new advanced audio options are becoming available, and Apex will celebrate its seven-year anniversary with a free anniversary rewards track.
