Details for Apex Legends Season 4 have been dropped, revealing what players can expect this season.

A developer livestream gave us details on what to expect from Apex Legend's Season 4, entitled Assimilation. One of the main additions is a new Legend. The new Legend, Forge, is an MMA fighter with metal arm. He is the first Legend to have a sponsor, Hammond Robotics. The company has not been revealed in Apex Legends yet, but are a arms manufacturer in the Titanfall universe. Forge's abilities have not been shown, and we have not seen him in-game just yet. While we do not have much information on Forge, the livestream did describe him as "an up-close and personal" fighter.

Another big addition coming to Apex Legends in Season 4 is a new gun, the Sentinel. This new weapon is a bolt-action sniper, and is more powerful than what is already in the game. Unlike other snipers found in the game, the Sentinel has a charged firing mode. This forces players to decide between waiting and taking a full-power shot, or shooting when they get the chance.

Ranked will be seeing some changes. Series 3 of ranked will be three months long, but will be divided into two "Splits." The first will be on World's Edge, while the second will be on King's Canyon. There will be a soft reset between them. There will also be a new Master Tier between Diamond and Apex Predator. The Apex Predator ranking will be limited to the top 500 players on each platform. It is possible for players to be demoted, and be sent back to Master if someone else overtakes them. All other changes coming to ranked can be seen here.

Apex Legends is available now on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. Assimilation will begin on February 4th, the title's one year anniversary. To celebrate the game's one year anniversary, players who play during that week will receive a Year 1 Origami Flyer charm, a Year 1 Loyalty Badge, and 10,000 XP for their first match of the day throughout out that week.
