A brand new Apex Legends map has seemingly leaked on-line, suggesting Season 6 might have an enormous shock for PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Much of the content material that involves EA and Respawn’s free-to-play battle royale game is revealed forward of schedule, courtesy of datamining leaks. And the most recent datamining leak factors to a model new map coming to the game quickly dubbed “Tropic Island,” which might be a placeholder. After all, Tropic Island is fairly generic, particularly in comparison with the game’s earlier two maps, King’s Canyon and World’s Edge.
At the second of publishing, zero belongings of the map have leaked on-line, which means proper now all we now have is code referencing the map throughout the game’s information. And it appears like this code was added with the game’s newest Season 6 replace. This might imply it is coming quickly, but it surely might additionally imply Respawn is simply now beginning to check the map in its growth construct of the game. If that is the case, then it might a bit methods off from launch.
As for the leak itself, it comes method of outstanding Apex Legends leakers Shrugtal and Biast12, each who just lately and individually relayed phrase of “Tropic Island” throughout the game’s information.

Interestingly, this isn’t the one “leaked” map we learn about it. There have been leaks pointing to a map dubbed “Olympus” for some time. These might be the identical map, but it surely appears unlikely. And if they are not, then Tropic Island could also be very far-off, since you’d assume Olympus would come first provided that we have identified about it for longer and have extra leaks pointing to its existence.
That mentioned, as all the time, take every little thing right here with a grain of salt, the leak itself, and the hypothesis derived from it. At the second of publishing, neither Respawn or EA have commented on the leak, and it is extremely unlikely both will, as usually neither touch upon leaks of this selection.
Apex Legends is accessible, totally free, through the PS4, Xbox One, PC, and are available later this yr it will likely be accessible through the PS5, Xbox Series X, and Nintendo Switch.
