Apex Legends reveals decimated Kings Canyon in new Season 8 gameplay trailer

Apex Legends' eighth season of content - also known as Mayhem - is almost here, and developer Respawn is readying for its 2nd February release with a brand-new gameplay trailer, showing off, among other things, the newly obliterated Kings Canyon map.
