Apex Legends: Upheaval releases on Tuesday 7th May, 2024 and is the 21st season of the ever-evolving battle royale. Alongside the arrival of the first villainous Legend to hit the games since Revenant in 2020, there are plenty of new and returning additions that promise to turn this season on its head including a revamped Broken Moon and Solos mode returning for a limited run.

First things first, let's talk about the big addition - a Legend called Alter joining the Apex games at the launch of Upheaval. Alter is a dimensional traveller of the Skirmisher class and the first villain we've seen in a long time. Alter is from another dimension, though which one she's from is a mystery for now (she's not a reliable narrator). If she tells you something, chances are it's been altered to suit her needs at that very moment - though there are a few shreds of truth in some things that come out of her mouth if you pay close attention.

Alter's Passive ability 'Gift from the Rift' lets you see deathboxes through walls and take a single item from them. Her Tactical is 'Void Passage' which allows you to make bridging portals through surfaces that your squad can also use. Finally, her Ultimate is 'Void Nexus' where Alter puts a device down that allows you and your team to phase back to that point while the device is still active. Be wary of this one, enemies can also make use of it too.
