When does the Season 20 hype start?
We are 2 weeks out and there is literally nothing out there other than speculation about the new legend (Cave), the new map (codenamed 'District'), and some snippets about the Battlepass. Not that I...

So according to reliable sources there are no new maps,no changes to any maps,no new weapons,no new characters,no character reworks but the only things to look forward to are changes to armor,loot in the Replicators & 120fps for consoles which might not actually feature at the start of the season.If thats true S20 is going to be nothing more than a grind for those willing to persist with it unfortunately.Massively underwhelming to say the least
So it looks like Game Informer (https://www.gameinformer.com/ApexLegends) is getting the 'exclusive scoop' on what's coming for Season 20. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qj72ZIZIv9A
I think they are going to start releasing information tomorrow with more detail available to subscribers.
Looks like there are a few maps for non-BR modes confirmed in the little bit we get here and HUGE changes to how Evo Shields work. Most notably is that the way they level up is no longer tied just to damage and every legend gets choices of perks to their abilities that kick in at each evo level (blue, purple, red). Seems like gold shields are gone now since perks are no longer specific to the shield you have and every legend gets their choice of them. You can see one example in the video where Maggie's ultimate explodes into a star pattern of thermite rather than the typical stun ball. Others examples discussed are for Loba where her ultimate's range would increase &/or you could pick 3 items from her ultimate instead of 2.
I've heard you won't be able to swap to a higher level shield in deathboxes anymore (full purple for broken blue) but this video doesn't confirm that. THAT would feel bad, IMO.
The other rumors, new Legend is Cave and new BR map codenamed District, don't seem to be mentioned.
