. Years after a meteor impact almost destroyed it, Cleo is now partly terraformed and habitable - but to further fund its colonisation, the government has entered into a contract to hold the Apex Games there. When players step onto the surface of Broken Moon - said to be of a similar size to Apex Legend's World's Edge map - they'll discover a world of two distinct halves, one part colonised and lush with vegetation, the other still barren.Broken Moon's big new addition comes in the form of rollercoastering zip rails, giving players the means to quickly move between major points of interest on the map, following a predetermined path.
As for those points of interest, Respawn says Broken Moon has a focus on large landmarks intended to comfortably accommodate multiple squads on landing, giving them plenty of time to loot before any shots are fired. These include a giant terraformer described as a"king-of-the-hill" drop location, a lush 'Bionomics' zone giving plenty of opportunities for vertical flanking, and a vast chasm linked with bridges and zip rails for"fast-paced, high-energy" play.
