Apex Legends is going beyond the Battle Royale next week with the introduction of the new small scale Arenas game mode, but what is this new game mode all about? How does it stack up against the main battle royale, and what twists has Respawn put on the game mode in the name of balance and pacing?

It’s Apex Legends, but without the battle royale
Arenas is built on the same foundations as the rest of Apex Legends. Much like the game at launch, you step into the fight in a team of three, you pick characters in turn, there’s the same roster of heroes, the same weapons, the same game balance, and there’s even some maps and locations ripped from the full battle royale maps.
Apex Legends Arenas Mode: Abilities, Maps, and How It All Works
Apex Legends’ worst-kept secret is coming in the
Apex Legends: Legacy season with the launch of the new Arenas game mode releasing on May 4th. The mode adds non-battle royale PvP experience to
Apex Legends for the first time ever and should look familiar to those who’ve frequented games like
Valorant. It plays much differently than the traditional battle royale mode because of that, but it’s easy to transition between the flows of the battle royale and Arena modes after a few matches.
The best thing about the Arenas mode right from the start is that it’s permanent, so unlike the other rotating game modes that stick around for a while and then get replaced, this one isn’t going anywhere. What will change, however, are the maps that players battle on.
