New Map Coming to Season 22
Apex Legends fans are beyond excited for a new map called District that was leaked by Osvaldatore. The map was first teased in an animated short, Kill Code Part 4, that came out in 2023. Since then, leakers have shared some images but it's still not confirmed. Gamers are banking on District being legit due to the images showing a city-like landscape that players have been wanting since Apex Legends dropped. The vibrant and neon city is unlike anything that's been in the battle royale before.
