By Claire Lewis on

Apex Legends Season 19: Ignite is packed to the brim with new content, from long-awaited features like cross-progression to one of the biggest map reworks Respawn has ever undertaken, easily making it one of the biggest updates to the game in recent memory. On top of that, Ranked Mode is also being reworked (again), and a brand-new legend is joining the squad, sporting some Titanfall-inspired abilities.

But the standard features of a new Apex Legends season (new legend, new battle pass, new map POIs) combined with all of the additional changes Respawn is making to the game this season can make it easy to lose track of things, so we've put together a list of all the most important changes and additions to the game. Keep reading for bite-sized breakdown of all the features that will be coming to Apex Legends when Season 19: Ignite goes live.

Apex Legends Season 19: Ignite launches on Tuesday, October 31 at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET

Respawn devs confirmed during pre-season previews that Broken Moon, Olympus, and Storm Point will be in rotation for all battle royale matches--both in Ranked Mode and the game's significantly less-sweaty public lobbies. Typically, Ranked Mode has a separate set of maps in rotation, but it seems that will not be the case for Season 19.

The prayers of many players were answered with the announcement that cross-progression is coming to Apex Legends. The feature will go live alongside the launch of the season itself, so players can merge their accounts starting on October 31.

Respawn confirmed to GameSpot that there will be «no refunds» or additional rewards (Crafting Metals, Heirloom Shards, etc.) given to players as a result of account-merging. If, for instance, you have Revenant's Mythic-tier Apex Nightmare Prestige Skin Set on both your PlayStation account and your PC account, you will not receive a set of Heirloom Shards to make up for buying the same Heirloom twice. The same goes for non-Mythic items that may have been purchased via the in-game store or a Collection Event--if a player has the same Legendary skin on two separate accounts, they will obviously still have access to that skin, but they will not be given a partial refund for buying it twice.

All cosmetics will be merged, however. If you mainly play on Xbox, but own a few skins you're especially fond of on your PlayStation account, don't worry--once
