EA and Respawn Entertainment have just dropped the official gameplay trailer for Apex Legends: Cipher — the next explosive season of the world’s favourite battle royale — proving that the deadliest weapon on the battlefield isn’t a gun. It’s what you know.
Arriving November 3, Season 31 turns intel into your greatest advantage, reworks one of the game’s most iconic recon legends, brings double-barrelled firepower, and evolves how you fight across the Outlands.
Crypto: Rewired for Aggressive Intel
The biggest shake-up lands on Crypto, who trades passive drone-watching for active, relentless information dominance — all thanks to a firmware upgrade from his sister Mila.
- Battery-powered drone — No more long cooldowns. Pick it up, recharge, and deploy again fast. Stay in the fight, stay scouting
- Sentry Mode — Automatically tags enemies within range. See them before they see you
- Instant EMP — Deploy your Ultimate at the press of a button. Disrupt shields, slow advances, and blow open defences on your terms
Crypto isn’t hiding anymore — he’s leading the charge.
Double the Precision — Akimbo Wingman
Why wield one legendary revolver when you can wield two? The Akimbo Wingman blasts onto the scene as a fearsome dual-wield variant — combining pinpoint accuracy with sheer volume of fire. Close-quarters combat just got a whole lot deadlier.
Strongholds — The Next Evolution of High-Stakes Loot
Care Packages are evolving into Strongholds — fixed locations you must secure and hold to unlock top-tier gear. Hold the line, and the rewards flow. Lose control, and the door closes. Every Stronghold becomes a magnet for conflict — where intel, positioning, and firepower decide who walks away with the best loot.
More Ways to Outthink the Fight
The season also brings:
- Lifeline & Revenant buffs — Fan-favourites get meaningful upgrades to their kits
- Revive Shield returns — Keep your squad in the fight with protective revival tech
- Ranked refinements — Fairer progression, clearer rewards, and a more competitive climb
Every change ties back to the season’s core promise: know more, see further, strike harder.
Drop Zone — November 3
Apex Legends: Cipher goes live November 3 across PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam and EA App. The trailer is streaming now — watch it, study it, and start planning how your squad will dominate through superior intel.
Information wins wars. Are you ready to be the smartest team in the arena?
