Apex Legends season 16: Team deathmatch is here, but no new character

Apex Legends’ 16th season, Revelry, kicks off Feb. 14 but it won’t introduce a new Legend character — the first time there’s been a new season without a new hero to play with since the battle royale launched in 2019.

These six classes include Support, Assault Skirmisher (Recon), Recon, Recon and Controller. Respawn will share more information about these classes and the way they balance later this week. To this point, the game’s 23 playable characters have been classified as either Offensive (nine Legends), Defensive (six Legends), Recon (six Legends), and Support (two Legends).
