Apex Legends: Marked Reworks Bloodhound and World’s Edge
Electronic Arts announced Apex Legends: Marked on July 28, 2026, ahead of the season's August 4 launch.
News summary
Bloodhound's new Ultimate cloaks every Legend inside its device, with the effect lasting 12 seconds after leaving unless the player takes damage or fires a weapon.
World's Edge adds East Village, War Camp and Tree Settlement, while Sorting Factory and the Construction Stacks return.
Corrupted Attachments introduce power tradeoffs, energy weapons receive a full overhaul and weapon-stat changes become visible in the loadout.
Loba gains a faster, longer Tactical and shorter Black Market cooldown, while Rampart moves faster with Sheila and builds tougher walls sooner.
Announcement overview
Bloodhound's Passive now leaves glowing trails behind moving enemies, White Ravens gain improved range and quick-glance activation, and the Tactical follows its first scan with additional snapshots.
The three new World’s Edge points of interest replace or rebuild Climatizer, Survey Camp and Tree, while Big Maude moves to the top of Landslide.
Respawn is removing five loot systems—Support Bins, Assault Bins, Explosive Holds, loot-bin resets and wildlife drops—to shorten the time spent perfecting a loadout.
Key details
Marked combines one Legend rework, three new map locations and a broader weapons-and-looting pass in the August seasonal launch.
