Apex Legends Season 5 Trailer Hints at New Map

Apex Legends Season 5 has been a hidden box with only Loba just recently being announced, despite speculations for months. The trailer released May 5 finally shows Loba entering the games and met by the other legends, especially Revenant.

When she was nine years old, Loba Andrade witnessed her parents’ murders at the hands of the simulacrum Revenant. Now, her parents’ seemingly immortal killer has re-emerged, and she’s looking for a way to take the one thing that’s always been out of her reach: revenge. pic.twitter.com/4D1tMnw0oN

Apex Legends Season 5 New Map Hint?

The trailer reveals some interesting additions to the Loba and Revenant storyline which has many people thinking we could be moving to a new map soon. The trailer shows Loba entering a secret Hammond Robotics facility with the assumed goal to be murder Revenant once and for all.

Upon shooting the brain of Revenant, which is the only way of murdering him as the Revenants in the Apex Games are just bots built from this main brain, Loba is met with the terminal shutting down and warning flashes. The below screenshot is from the trailer.

The circled portion reads, "Psamathe production facility 819 powered up. Standing by to retrieve. Transfer complete." What does this mean? It means that either Revenant's brain was already being transported, or that it has security measures that transport it immediately upon a threat.

The hint, though, is Psamathe—the home planet of Lifeline and Octane. Could Respawn Entertainment be hinting at our next location? Will we be following Revenant's brain, so Loba can get another shot at it? We're already getting a few Loba map related changes with Season 5, so maybe a new map is a little unlikely, but it's possible we see the appearance of Psamathe in the near future.
