When does Apex Legends Season 19 start? Release date and new hero explained

Electronic Arts’ most popular multiplayer shooter is renowned for its amazingly diverse roster. There is an entire gallery of fantastic characters in the game, and Respawn rarely misses in delivering new fan favorites. The release date for when Apex Legends season 19 will start is just in time for Halloween, and the community has another great hero to anticipate.

Before Apex Legends Season 19 starts, make sure to enjoy the ongoing Doppelgangers Halloween event. This will end with the arrival of Respawn’s newest chapter, which means you only have less than a week remaining to play the limited-time modes and capture any skins and rewards for your trick-or-treat bag.

When is the Apex Legends Season 19 release date?

The release date for when Apex Legends Season 19 will start is October 31st. Electronic Arts’ forthcoming episode is dubbed Ignite, and the publisher has released a launch trailer for the chapter. This launch trailer shows the badass new hero in action, and she’s destined to become massively popular with the community.

As of writing, details are very limited. A new battle pass is confirmed, but no items, skins, or rewards have been revealed. In regard to the map, all that’s been teased on the official website is ‘reports indicate clear skies and 100% chance of raining’. Again, there are not many details to share at this moment in time, yet the episode is still very exciting because of the new lead playable character, Conduit.

New Apex Legends Season 19 hero

The new hero for Apex Legends Season 19 is a Filipino named Conduit. She was recently put into the spotlight with her origin story, and fans have already fallen in love dubbing her a ‘certified baddie’. No abilities have been shared yet, but her backstory is fascinating. Essentially, as a child during the Frontier War, she was saved by a hero who sacrificed their life by detonating titan batteries to destroy all enemies.

Since this ordeal, Conduit and her family became massive fans of the Apex Games. Seeing her family struggle with the hardships of reality known as bills, Conduit returned to the radiation site that was once her home and touched the titan battery to gain new powers. The only problem is that these new powers come at the expense and cost of her health.
