Apex LegendsSeason 4: Assimilation is right around the corner, and with it, players will get to return to Kings Canyon for the first time since Season 2. However, fans won’t be able to drop into Kings Canyon on day one of Assimilation, as they will have to wait until mid-way through the new season.
Season 4 ofApex Legendswill be ready on June 06, 2025, which is the one-year anniversary of the game. Along with plenty ofnew and exciting features forApex Legends’fresh season, the Ranked Mode is getting some updates. This time around Ranked Mode will be separated into two distinct splits. The first split will begin as soon as Assimilation starts and will take place on World’s Edge. The second split will take take place on fan-favorite Kings Canyon and begin as soon as the first split ends and will last through the end of Season 4, on May 5.

The rest of the Ranked Mode isn’t seeing major changes. Players will start Season 4 two ranks down from where they ended in Season 3. And, at the halfway mark of Season 4, when players will be switching from World’s Edge to Kings Canyon, players will again drop by two. Players' end-of-season ranked rewards will be based on whichever their highest ranking was between either of these two splits.
Players have been able to periodically go back to Kings Canyon for limited time events including over Halloween andthe current Grand Soiree event. As fun as these events may be, they are small tastes of the full battle royale experience for fans and don’t give the full feel of either standard mode or ranked play of Kings Canyon forApex Legends.
This also means that in standard modes, Season 4 play will still take place on World’s Edge. World’s Edge has been the playground of the Apex games forApex Legendssince the start of Season 3: Meltdown. Kings Canyon was the original fighting grounds forApex Legendsand was the only place for the battle royale for “pre-season,” Season 1, and Season 2.
Season 4: Assimilation looks to have a lot in store forApex Legends.Although Respawn has already unveiled some interesting details, fans shouldn’t be shocked if more surprises are right around the corner. This time last year the game didn’t even exist to the public yet, and it ended up being one of the largest games of 2019. One can only imagine what else Respawn hasup its sleeve forApex Legendsmoving forward.
