What’s New in Apex Legends Season 25? A ‘Nexus Breach’ Guide

The Outlands are calling once more, Legends! Early June 2025 marks the electrifying launch of Apex Legends Season 25, dramatically titled “Nexus Breach.” After weeks of cryptic teasers and community speculation, Respawn Entertainment and EA have unleashed a torrent of new content, including a reality-bending new Legend, a significantly reworked Storm Point map, and, to the delight of players everywhere, the long-awaited full implementation of Cross-Progression. Get ready to drop into a season that promises to redefine strategy and interconnectivity in the Apex Games.

Meet ‘Glitch’: The Reality-Warping Trickster

The newest Legend to join the Apex Games is “Glitch,” a brilliant but unpredictable spacetime physicist whose experiments with dimensional portals went a little too successfully. Now able to manipulate localized reality rifts, Glitch brings a unique and disruptive playstyle to the roster.

• Passive Ability: Phase Echo: When Glitch takes significant damage, they leave behind a temporary “echo” – a shimmering afterimage. If Glitch activates their tactical within a few seconds of the echo appearing, they can instantly teleport back to the echo’s location, disorienting enemies and offering a quick escape or repositioning opportunity.
• Tactical Ability: Rift Tether: Glitch can deploy two small, throwable “rift anchors.” Once both are placed, Glitch (and their teammates, with a slight delay) can instantly teleport between these two anchors. Anchors can be destroyed by enemies and have a limited range and duration, requiring strategic placement. This allows for rapid flanking maneuvers, quick high-ground takes, or emergency extractions.
• Ultimate Ability: Reality Fracture: Glitch overcharges their dimensional manipulator, creating a localized “fracture zone” for a moderate duration. Within this zone, enemy abilities (tacticals and ultimates) have a chance to malfunction or trigger with unpredictable, often detrimental, side effects (e.g., a grenade exploding in their hand, a defensive ability failing, a movement ability sending them in a random direction). Friendly abilities are unaffected. This ultimate is designed to sow chaos in entrenched positions and turn the tide of chaotic engagements.

Glitch’s kit encourages aggressive, mind-game-oriented play, making them a high-skill-ceiling Legend perfect for players who love to outsmart their opponents.

Storm Point: Evolved by the Breach

The tropical paradise of Storm Point has been dramatically altered by the same dimensional instability that brought Glitch to the Games. Several new Points of Interest (POIs) have emerged, and existing ones have been warped by strange energies.

• The “Nexus Anomaly”: Replacing a central, less-trafficked area, the Nexus Anomaly is a massive, pulsating rift in the sky with crystalline structures and floating platforms beneath it. This area features pockets of altered gravity and rare, high-tier loot, but also attracts aggressive, newly mutated alien wildlife.
• Warped Coastline: The familiar beaches and islands along Storm Point’s coast now feature strange dimensional “tears” that can offer quick, risky one-way teleports to other nearby coastal areas. Some research camps have been either destroyed or transformed into fortified positions by interdimensional flora.
• Echo Labs: A new, multi-level indoor POI, supposedly Glitch’s abandoned research facility, filled with remnants of their portal experiments. Expect tight corridors, vertical flanking routes, and interactive elements related to portal technology.

These changes aim to refresh familiar drop spots, encourage new rotations, and introduce more dynamic mid-game encounters. The overall loot distribution across Storm Point has also been rebalanced.

Cross-Progression: Unite Your Legacy!

Perhaps the most universally cheered addition in Season 25 is the full rollout of Cross-Progression. After extensive testing, players can now merge their Apex Legends accounts across all supported platforms (PC, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch), consolidating their unlocks, stats, currency, and Battle Pass progress into a single, unified profile.

This means your hard-earned Legend skins, weapon charms, Heirlooms, and achievements will finally be accessible no matter where you choose to play. This has been a top community request for years, and its arrival is a massive quality-of-life improvement that respects players’ time and investment across different ecosystems.

Season 25 Battle Pass & Other Changes

As with every new season, “Nexus Breach” comes with a brand-new Battle Pass featuring 110 tiers of cosmetic rewards, including Legendary Legend and weapon skins, new dive emotes, music packs, loading screens, and Apex Packs. The theme revolves around dimensional travel, cosmic entities, and Glitch’s backstory.

Other key changes include:

• Weapon Meta Adjustments: Several weapons have received balance tweaks, with a new energy-based LMG, the “Nova Burst,” entering the loot pool.
• Ranked Mode Updates: Adjustments to the ranked point system and matchmaking aim to provide a more rewarding and competitive climb.
• Quality of Life Improvements: Various UI tweaks, bug fixes, and accessibility option enhancements.

Conclusion: A Season of Strategic Disruption and Unity

Apex Legends Season 25 “Nexus Breach” is shaping up to be a landmark season. The introduction of Glitch promises to shake up squad compositions and tactical approaches with their reality-bending abilities. The evolution of Storm Point offers fresh battlegrounds and challenges, while the long-awaited arrival of Cross-Progression finally unifies the player experience across platforms. Respawn Entertainment continues to demonstrate its commitment to evolving the Apex Games, delivering not just new content, but also features that deeply resonate with its dedicated community. It’s time to master the chaos, Legends!
