| Apex Legends Season 17 leaks |
For the past 16 seasons, players have continued to enjoy the free-to-play battle royale shooting game Apex Legends.
On February 14, 2023, Respawn made Season 16 of Apex Legends available for players to explore as part of the game's regular updates and meta adjustments. Players have a tonne of new content to enjoy in Apex Legends Season 16, including a new battle pass, map, and much more.
Now that Apex Legends Season 16 will soon come to a conclusion, players are eagerly anticipating Apex Legends Season 17, which will begin in a few weeks.
We do have leakers and dataminers who are now posting fresh teasers, images, and other content, which is getting fans even more excited about the upcoming season despite the fact that the creators have been silent and have not provided any new information on Apex Season 17.
We'll go over everything we currently know about the release date, features, and potential addition of new Legends to the fray in Apex Legends Season 17 below.

Apex Legends Season 17 release date
Unfortunately, Season 17 of Apex Legends has no set launch date as start and end dates are not officially announced by Respawn until much closer to their debut. But depending on the start date of the season before it and the average length of an Apex Legends season, we can make some quite accurate predictions.
On February 14, 2023, Season 16 of Revelry officially began. It is anticipated to last about three months and that places the start of Apex Legends Season 17 in early to mid-May.
Moreover, Respawn frequently releases its seasonal updates on Tuesdays. So, the dates of Tuesday, May 9, or Tuesday, May 16, are currently the most likely.
One of the most dependable leakers for Apex Legends, ThordanSmash, claims that Season 17 will begin precisely on May 9, 2023. Nevertheless, based on when the Apex Legends Season 16 Battle Pass expires, it might not be until Season 17's release on May 16, 2023.
Apex Legends season 17 starts on May 9th. Last day of ALGS split 2 ends on May 7th. LAN moved to June from July originally most likely due to some pretty big meta changes 😉

Also, it might release later according to how much new stuff there might be, such as a new Legend or gaming modes.

Apex Legends Season 17 Legend - Ballistic
Apex Legends Ballistic will be a recon character like Pathfinder, Bloodhound, Crypto, Seer, and Valkyrie since he can support his partner from a distance.
According to the information given by content creator PWN hub and obtained through leaker NightTerras, Ballistic abilities are concentrated on employing weapons and the usability of weapons. They also disclosed that Ballistic, the new Apex Season 17 Legend, may have previously been known as Caliber.

Four seasons have passed since an Assault character debuted in Apex Legends. Therefore, it appeared very clear that the Season 17 character would be a Legend of the Assault class. And it may have been confirmed by the most recent dumps from data miners and leakers.

Definitely some TYPOS in the legend ability descriptions. However we've seen much worse in other accurate leaks before. You make the call! pic.twitter.com/dEUiFt3bP5

Ballistic's three unique abilities, which we learned about thanks to the leakers, are unheard-of. The information that was released along with the photograph reveals the following Ballistic abilities:
- Ballistic's Passive - Weapon Sling
A sling where you can store a third weapon. Access via inventory. The sling weapon cannot take attachments.
- Ballistic's Tactical - Smart Bullet
Shoots a projectile that debuffs the enemy. Enemies' guns will start heating up as they shoot. Overheating will cause a reaction and deal damage. Holding the Tactical will allow it to lock on to a target.
- Ballistic's Ultimate - Weapon Enhance
When activated nearby teammates get a buff applied. It gives faster reloads, unarmed move speed, and Infinite Ammo. Ballistic’s sling weapon will be equipped and upgraded to gold.

Apex Legends Season 17 Game mode
A well-known leaker by the name of Osvaldatore has revealed vital details on Solos' return to the game in Season 17.
It wasn't quite the Solos mode though. Instead, a lot of adjustments were done to make it more engaging and avoid detracting from the general fun of the game. Also, the leaker's description identified the game mode as Rumble.
The leak reported by Osvaldatore may have been legitimate after all, according to a subsequent data-mined photograph.

A recent image of two magazines was shared on the web, and the crucial detail in this image is the mention of "Rumble Royal," which alludes to a new LTM planned for the future of Apex Legends.
It is most likely going to be in season 17, and it will bring back the game's Solo Mode. It will also feature a variety of brand-new gameplay mechanics, such as the absence of any legend abilities and the replacement of them with consumables like Stim, which boosts movement
A cloak, which renders you invisible for a brief period of time, EMP, which disables electronics and shields, Berserk, which ups melee damage, and Swap, which switches your position with a random enemy will also be replaced. The teaser artwork, which will also include a passage on rebirth, specifically mentions the capacity to cloak.
Naturally, there will be variables that alter how your guns function as there are no load-outs and you spawn with a random weapon and attachment. There will be a Ricochet effect when bullets bounce off things like walls, Inflammatory, where bullets ignite foes on fire, Incendiary, where bullets explode upon impact, and Smart, a nod to Titanfall with a smart handgun that locks onto enemies.
Basically Solos are coming back

Apex Legends Season 17 skins
The newest leaks have suggested the skins players may anticipate from the impending Rivals collection event in Apex Legends Season 17, which is anticipated to premiere early in May.
Leaked pictures of the skins allegedly included in the Rivals collection event for Season 17 have been posted by Insider Gaming.
Apex Season 17 Legend skins
The skins displayed are a good preview of what's to come even though they were "sketched to protect the source." Revenant is shown in one photograph sporting fashionable clothing and a fresh faceplate. Another sketch features Mad Maggie dressed as a Valkyrie with wings connected to her armor. In the third picture, Loba is wearing a half mask with crescent moon decorations on it and other portions of her costume.

Another know Apex leaker, Thordan Smash, provided more information about the Apex Season 17 leaks.
The leaker revealed that Revenant's Legendary skin will have a blue color scheme with gold and red highlights for the forthcoming Apex Legends Rivals event. Then Octane's Heist skin is also scheduled to show up at the Rivals event in Season 17. Although it's unknown if his wingsuit will be included in the in-game costume, the design was first featured in a Stories from the Outlands video.
Apex Season 17 weapon skins
There's a good probability that Season 17 will also bring a new weapon to the Apex Games, given that a few potential prospective weaponry have already been revealed through leaks. The Fanatic Pistols or the Gemini SMG are seen by Apex leakers to be the most likely choices for Season 17 of the potential new additions.
Apex Season 17 Banner frames
The next part of the leaks is about Apex Season 17 Banner frames.
Recently, a popular Apex leaker, HYPERMYST shared images of Apex Season 17 Alien Event Frames, but we expect more to be revealed soon.
