Skull Town

Epitome via Respawn

Apex Legends has had three major maps and a plethora of Points of Interest (POIs) over the course of its existence and evolution, though it'due south arguable that none have always been quite as iconic as Skull Town. The major POI, formerly a role of Kings Coulee, was removed from the game in Flavour five with the introduction of Loba, along with another major POI, Thunderdome. It was the hottest drop on the map, and too hot for the liking of the developers. They got rid of it in order to better space out where players were fighting and landing.

Avid fans of Skull Town did not take the removal well, and fifty-fifty more than coincidental fans have been hoping to come across the iconic POI make a glorious render to the game. Today, the official Noon Legends Twitter account teased just that. They put out a tweet with a meme of a figure peeking out from behind a brick wall reading "What if we brought back Skull Town?".

The patch notes for a brand-new update connected to this teaser are going to drop on Thursday, June 24, confirmed by the manager of communications at Respawn, Ryan K. Rigney. Since Kings Canyon is currently out of map rotation for Season ix, and the new Arenas map rotation is coming upward, information technology is very liking that Skull Town is going to be the next Arenas map. Whether information technology may also return to Battle Royale mode in the future remains to be seen, just we volition be seeing Skull Boondocks in the game over again regardless.
