The launch trailer for Apex Legends Season 5: Fortune's Favor has been released and it further fleshes out the story of Loba, the battle royale game's next playable character. The trailer also seems to suggest that, when Apex Legends goes into Season 5, Kings Canyon will lose one of its most beloved landmarks.
During the course of the trailer, we see Loba set off a chain of explosions that ultimately blows a hole in an underground facility beneath Kings Canyon. When she emerges, she's surrounded by a few of the legends--including Revenant, who's responsible for her parents' deaths. During her escape, we see a leviathan skull fall into the underground lab, which is now flooded. It's the same skull that's a part of the skeleton in Skull Town, suggesting the landmark's destruction in Season 5.
In a press release, Respawn writes, "In Season 5: Fortune's Favor, the next chapter in [Apex Legends], Loba's search in the seedy underbelly of Kings Canyon will uncover secrets that set off a chain of events--drastically changing the map as competitors know it."
