By Andrew Lin
Psamathe Apex Legends is a potential new map teased in the recent Season 5 trailer.
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

The trailer shows new Legend Loba infiltrating Hammond Robotics on a revenge mission to take out Revenant's brain. After a failed attempt to assassinate Revenant's main brain, the facility goes on lockdown and the brain is transported to a new facility, labeled "Psamathe".
Psamathe Apex Legends Map Teased in Season 5 Trailer
Psamathe is the home world of Octane and Lifeline, and might be the location of a new map for Season 5. There may be another facility we could play in as we follow Loba's story. It's unknown how we'll transport everyone to the new planet, or what significance it will have in the story.
Keeping with the theme of naming planets after Greek legends, Psamathe was the wife of Proteus, a sea-god. Psamathe's son Phokos was murdered by his half-brothers Peleus and Telamon. In the legend, Psamathe gets revenge on them by sending the giant wolf Loba to harass attack their flock.
In the Apex story, Loba's parents are murdered by Revenant on Olympus, and we will follow her revenge quest through Season 5. It will be interesting to see how much the Apex story will allegorize the Greek legends.
