Apex Legends Mobile‘s fourth battle pass is about to come to an end, and the mobile game’s developers have finally announced the launch date for the game’s next update–and revealed its name. In a recent tweet from the game’s official Twitter account, developers confirmed that Apex Legends Mobile: Aftershow will go live on October 4 at 5 PM PT / 8 PM ET.
Legends!
Over the next 24 hours, you’ll see an update available in the iOS/Play Stores for our next content update—Aftershow. Aftershow is a smaller update that will release on Oct 4th. Notes to follow closer to that date. 👀

Precisely what this update consists of is anyone’s guess, but given the fact that the developers have given the update an official title, one might assume that Aftershow is the name of Apex Legends Mobile’s third season. But the tweet describes the update as “small” and doesn’t go as far as calling it a new season. The game’s current Hyperbeat battle pass is set to end the same day that Aftershow goes live, but both the Hyperbeat Event Hub page and the Hyperbeat Seasonal Store have a different “expiration date,” with both of them slated to disappear on October 18.
Thus far, the game has set a two-legends-per-season pace, with each season split in half for a total of two battle passes per season. New legends have historically launched alongside new battle passes as well, with a mobile-exclusive legend debuting at the beginning of a new season, and a second legend sourced from the console and PC versions of the game arriving in the middle of the season.
