At the end of last month, Respawn Entertainment announced a one-week extension to Apex Legends Season 4, giving it a new end date of Tuesday, May 12. This date also marks the beginning of a brand new season, and now that it is only one day away some fans may be curious about an exact Apex Legends Season 5 release time. Indeed, answering the question of what time does Season 5 of Apex Legends come out is the exact purpose of this guide.
To start, there has been no official announcement regarding the Apex Legends Season 5 release time. However, Apex Legends update times have been quite consistent since its initial release, and it thus stands to reason that Respawn will stick to a similar schedule for Season 5. As such, it is fairly safe to expect that the Apex Legends Season 5 start time will fall between 10am and 12pm PDT on Tuesday, May 12.
With respect to what players will find when the Apex Legends Season 5 release time comes, the new Legend Loba is certainly one of the highlights. Fans got a good look at this new Legend in a trailer that was released just last week, and it is only a matter of hours before players will get to try out her ability to teleport for themselves.
Additionally, there is a new PvE quest system in Apex Legends Season 5 that focuses around collecting Treasure Packs in order to unlock Weekly Hunts. There are nine of these Hunts in total, each of which revolves around recovering a Broken Ghost piece, and players will need to put some time in if they hope to complete the quest in its entirety before Season 5 ends.
One thing that will not be available when the Season 5 release time comes is a new weapon in Apex Legends. While it is customary for a new season to bring a new gun to Respawn's highly-popular battle royale title, the developer confirmed last week that one will not launch with Season 5. This news may prove slightly disappointing to some fans, but all of the other content that is launching tomorrow may be enough to make up for it.
Apex Legends is out now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
