Now that we are entering February, Season 28 is coming for Apex Legends players. The season hasn't been announced, but the community is expecting many additions as this will mark the game's seventh anniversary, and it's the first content drop of the year.
While we wait for some official news, we have gathered all the information we know and some speculation about the new season.

Season 28 of Apex Legends is scheduled to begin on Tuesday, February 10, for all platforms. A new update will go live at 10:00 AM PT (6:00 PM GMT), adding all the respective content.
The season should follow the same format as always and last around three months, with a mid-season patch arriving in the middle to add a second wave of changes and content.
Trailer
Here is the gameplay trailer for the new season, which showcases upcoming changes to legends and a brand-new mechanic: breakable windows.
Hardlight Mesh
One of the biggest additions of this season is the new Hardlight Mesh windows, which are destructible surfaces. Players can see through them when intact, and they can be destroyed by dealing damage using weapons, explosives, and more.
Controller legends have special mechanics for these surfaces, as they can repair them and also reinforce them to make them even stronger.
Legend Changes
To improve the close-range combat gameplay, some legends will receive small reworks in their abilities once the season starts. For starters, all Controller legends will now be able to interact with Hardlight Mesh windows, allowing them to repair or reinforce them.
Here are some of the legend changes coming to the game:
Fuse
- Knuckle Jumper upgrade lets him leap past enemy defenses.
- His ultimate has been reworked to clear fortified positions.
- New upgrade makes his ultimate drop flames and recharge it through explosive damage.
Bloodhound
- Improvements to their Tactical Scan
- Ultimate cooldown has been reduced
- Knocking down an enemy while using their Ultimate extends its duration
- A new upgrade adds longer-range White Ravens and healing after knocking an enemy when using the Ultimate
Catalyst
- Piercing Spikes can now be thrown further and activate faster
- Upgrade allows spikes to remain hidden until triggered or deal increased damage
- Ultimate can now be deployed horizontally, as shown in the gameplay trailer
More legend changes are definitely coming at the start of the season, but the full list of changes will be disclosed once the patch notes for Season 28 come out.
