The Broken Moon, introduced in Season 15, quickly became unpopular among Apex Legends players. In addition to significant bugs, the map's design was criticised for being dull, with Points of Interest (POIs) that looked almost identical and an overall layout that made traversal less enjoyable.
However, this is set to change with Respawn Entertainment's Season 21 update, called Upheaval, which introduces substantial adjustments to Broken Moon. These changes aim to make the map more enjoyable and engaging, encouraging players to give it another try.
The map has undergone a significant transformation, with a darker colour scheme giving it a more ominous atmosphere. But the changes go beyond just the palette.

The updated Broken Moon has unique points of interest (POIs) compared to its previous iteration. Locations like Solar Pods now feature new buildings and ziplines that enhance verticality and traversal options. This alteration gives the map a distinct personality, setting it apart from others in the game.
Fans are showing their appreciation for the changes across social media. One Reddit user described the map as “fixed,” indicating a positive shift in perception. Another player noted that the update addresses many of their previous concerns with Broken Moon, commenting, “So far, so good; I love it too! I think this update fixes all the problems I had with the map. I can’t wait to play it more.”
Other players have pointed out that the new buildings not only improve upon the original version of the map, but they also feel unique to the game itself, providing an entirely fresh experience.
Broken Moon had a rocky reception when it first debuted in Apex Legends, but it's clear the developers have acknowledged its issues and worked to improve the map's overall appeal. The positive feedback from players indicates that these changes were a step in the right direction.
