The 16th season of ongoing support for Apex Legend is about to begin, and it's shaping up to be a doozy. Called Revelry, this next onslaught of content revamps the class system, adds a new weapon, and introduces Team Deathmatch, and it all kicks off on Valentine's Day, 14th February.

Team Deathmatch does pretty much what it says on the tin. Two teams of six players will face each other, with the first team to rack up a combined 30 kills winning the round, with three rounds being needed to declare ultimate victory. Party Crasher, Skulltown and Habitat 4 will be the TDM maps available at launch, and you can see it all in action in the trailer below.

The Nemesis Burst AR will also be introduced; it fires a four-round burst with an automatic trigger, takes Energy ammunition and will come with a full suite of attachments. A Golden Shotgun Bolt is being introduced as well, which loads the weapon whilst sliding or during traversal, which should cause no end of frustration for players on the receiving end.

Finally, every Legend in the game has been assigned to one of five classes, Assault, Skirmisher, Controller, Recon or Support, with each class having its own unique perks. It will remain to be seen how this change affects the competitive meta.
