Following the initially confusing announcement that Apex Legends Mobile’s fourth battle pass is about to expire (the in-game season hub had October 18 as the season end date), the mobile game’s developers are now have clarified that the “small” update you were referring to in your previous announcement is, in fact, a new battle pass, and the current Hyperbeat battle pass will be replaced by the Aftershow battle pass early next week.

The announcement was made via an in-game news slide, explaining that the new battle pass will launch on October 4, shortly after the Hyperbeat battle pass expires at 4:59pm PT/7. :59 p.m. ET. Interestingly, the developers also mentioned that this season’s seasonal currency, Hyperbeat Coins, will not expire and will instead carry over to the next season. Unfortunately, this isn’t the case with mission cards, which were recently changed to expire at the end of each battle pass.

Little else is known about the update, including whether or not it will come with a new Legend. Until now, each season of Apex Legends on mobile has been split down the middle: the first half of the season features a mobile-exclusive Legend along with a Battle Pass, and the second half of the season brings a new Battle Pass. battle and a legend of the console and PC version of the game. With that in mind, most players assumed that the game’s next update would be the start of Season 3 and start with the introduction of a new mobile-only legend.

That may be the case, but given the fact that the update was described as “small,” it’s hard to imagine we’ll see a new season and a new legend when Aftershow drops next week. As far as we currently know, this update will only consist of a new battle pass.

But that means there may be new seasonal store additions, remember not to spend your Hyperbeat Coins on every VIP store item unless you really want them; you might wish you hadn’t spent them if the new battle bass releases alongside a new set of Seasonal Shop cosmetics.

Patch notes are expected to be released in the near future, but in the meantime, players may want to finish any incomplete event challenges to claim as many Hyperbeat Coins as possible before the new update goes live.
