Apex Legends: Defiance kicks off in February

By Heidi Nicholas,

The latest instalment of Stories from the Outlands confirms Mad Maggie as the next new Legend arriving for Apex Legends with the Defiance update on February 8th.

EA and Respawn tell us that "for all her crimes, Mad Maggie's been condemned to fight to the death in the Games." Along with Mad Maggie, Apex Legends: Defiance brings with it a new limited-time mode, Control, in which you "Select your loadout and drop in to a 9v9 experience where teams battle to hold control points with infinite respawn." The devs also hint at some changes to Olympus, but it seems we'll have to wait for the details until we get the full Defiance launch trailer on January 27th.

Hey, I'm Heidi! I've just finished studying a Masters in English Literature, but I've been obsessed with gaming since long before then. I began on the PS2 with Spyro, before graduating to the Xbox 360 and disappearing into Skyrim. I'm now a loyal RPG fan, but I still like to explore other genres — when I'm not playing Assassin's Creed Odyssey, or being lured back into Red Dead Redemption 2 or The Witcher 3!
