Having illustrated this with an explosive cinematic trailer last week, Respawn have now detailed exactly what’s new and different.

The goal with the changes was to open up a new area of the map to explore (done by exploding and crashing a ship into the map!), make the north west more attractive as a drop point with better rotations through those northern areas, remove some obvious 3rd partying chokes, and also add some new high-ground opportunities.
“Mayhem” is coming to the
Apex Legends Kings Canyon Season 8 map, developer Respawn Entertainment has promised in its latest blog update. New changes to the map include an entirely new area, ECHO camps, Explosive Holds, Observation Towers, and more. Though a fan-favorite map, Kings Canyon has arguably grown tired since the game launched almost two years ago. Below are the full details on how Respawn is freshening things up for the new season.

A new part of the map was created when a massive gunship crashed into the ground, obliterating an entire mountainside as it fell. This has opened up a previous unplayable portion of the map. The ship itself can be held as a powerful “King of the Hill power position.”
