As the competitive gaming landscape evolves, the Apex Legends Global Series is gearing up for an exciting new chapter. With the conclusion of the previous season in Sapporo, Japan, anticipation builds for what lies ahead in Year 5, which promises to bring intense gameplay and significant rewards.
The upcoming season will commence on April 6, offering a staggering prize pool of $5 million. While a pre-season tournament is scheduled for this month, the main competitions will follow in the coming months, allowing teams to prepare and strategize.
This year's competition will feature two Pro League Splits, with a total of 30 teams participating across four regions. The roster compositions include 22 invited teams and 8 that qualified in the pre-season. Each Split will award $500,000 in cash prizes, along with valuable Championship qualification points and opportunities for LAN event spots, including the highly anticipated Midseason Playoffs.
The Midseason Playoffs will boast a $1 million prize pool, with another $1 million allocated for the ALGS Open. The premier World Championship, concluding the season, will receive the largest share of $2 million, offering teams a chance to showcase their skills on a grand stage.
Details regarding the specific locations and dates for the LAN tournaments are still forthcoming, but Respawn has suggested some thrilling transformations for the season. Among them are planned Legend Bans to refresh the overall meta and an expanded map pool, introducing new locations for thrilling encounters.
With all these enhancements, the upcoming 2025 season is positioned to possibly rank among the most dynamic and engaging in the history of the Apex Legends Global Series.
