Season 1, "Wild Frontier," launched the live-service era of Apex Legends. Released in March 2019, it introduced Octane, the high-speed daredevil Legend, and the first Battle Pass system. Players earned unique skins, banners, and voice lines as they leveled up.
Octane: Speed Demon
Octane's arrival brought high-octane gameplay with his Stim tactical that increased movement speed at the cost of health. His Launch Pad ultimate revolutionized mobility, allowing for creative rotations and aggressive pushes. This season was free to access, but the Battle Pass cost 950 Apex Coins.
Battle Pass Foundation
It set the standard for Apex's seasonal model—new legends, cosmetics, and ongoing live updates. Even without new maps, the Frontier theme and fresh content made it a strong debut that established the foundation for future seasons.
