The next season of Apex Legends is right around the corner, and Respawn Entertainment has finally confirmed the official release date and start time for season 19.
Titled ‘Ignite’, the next season of Apex Legends will not only introduce a brand-new Legend for players to use but also a complete overhaul to Storm Point and the highly requested introduction of cross-progression. The new Legend, known as Conduit, is a support Legend “whose shield-based abilities and infectious energy shine as the core of any squad”, according to Respawn.
If you’re eager to jump into the next season of Apex Legends, we’ve put together everything you need to know below, including the official release date and start time for the new season.
Apex Legends Confirms Start Time And Date For Season 19 Update
Season 19 of Apex Legends will be released on Tuesday, October 31st at the following time:
Timezone |
Start Time |
Pacific Time |
10:00 AM |
Eastern Time |
1:00 PM |
Greenwich Mean Time |
5:00 PM |
Players will be prompted to download and install the season 19 update at the aforementioned date and time. However, PlayStation users will likely be able to pre-download the update roughly 24 hours before it is released. The update will then be installable upon release.
Apex Legends Introduces Cross-Progression With Season 19
Alongside a new legend, battle bass, and update to Storm Point, season 19 of Apex Legends will finally introduce cross-progression. Respawn says the feature will be “phased in over a period of time in order to ensure stability for this anticipated feature”, so although you might not see cross-progression available immediately at launch, you won’t have to wait much longer to merge your account with other platforms.
According to a recent blog post by Respawn, players will need to keep their eye out for an in-game prompt to initiate the migration to bring together your content and progression. All data associated with cross-progression will be connected via your EA account, but various aspects such as Apex Coins, will be impacted differently.
