Season 12 of Apex Legends has been going on for two months now, so it’s time to think about the thirteenth. The marketing campaign hasn’t started yet, however, Respawn Entertainment has already begun to disseminate clues.
After anticipating the potential arrival of changes to the Storm Point map, the Californian development team has begun to pique the curiosity of players with a new loading screen that appears at the beginning of each new game of Control, a limited-time mode that will remain. active until April 12th. The artwork in question shows a billboard that reads “The wait is over, he’s here!” next to a silhouette that seems to belong in all respects to the Newcastle Legend.
The message, then, seems pretty clear to us: there are serious chances that Apex Legends’ new Season 13 Legend is Newcastle, a character known to Battle Royale fans for a very long time. Not only has he been the subject of a leak, but he was also directly mentioned by Respawn at the time of Revenant’s Season 4 debut!
According to leaked information, these could be his abilities:
- Passive: Recover the wounded – Drag allies while reviving them and protecting them from enemy fire with a shield;
- Tactics: Mobile Shield – Launches a mobile drone that creates a moving shield;
- Ultimate: Castle Wall – Jump and slam into a target creating a fortified stronghold.
We do not know if these abilities will be confirmed: we will find out in a few weeks, as the start of Season 13 of Apex Legends is set for the first half of May.
