The new point of interest should help open up the southwestern portion of Kings Canyon.

It’s called Relic.

Relic isn’t a one-to-one replication of Skull Town.

“This has been the Salvage [POI] operation, which is now complete.”

Relic will be replacing Salvage–the POI that replaced Skull Town–but that’s it.

As seen from the inside, Relic isn’t nearly as big as Skull Town.

“Kings Canyon is one of our smaller, more frantic maps.

We definitely wanted to keep that.

You were sort of almost always put into an engagement.”

The cage is now open, giving snipers lots of sightlines into it.

We’re hoping that Relic will mainly support two to three squads comfortably."

Broken Relay, meanwhile, is no longer broken, having been renamed Basin.

“We have touched so many aspects and facets of the map,” Shaw said.

With the addition of Relic, Kings Canyon is a bigger map–however, it’s still much smaller than World’s Edge and Storm Point.

We looked at the foliage, the trees and stuff, in Swamps.

We looked at the explosive holds across the map, the loot balance across the map."

Apex Legends Season 14 kicks off on August 9.

Season 14’s battle royale map rotation will feature Kings Canyon, World’s Edge, and Storm Point.
