Datamines and leaks are pretty common when it comes to Apex Legends, but the most recent one is arguably one of the biggest. This recent leak came from Reddit user u/Legitimate_Chapter82 on the r/ApexUncovered subreddit, and it reveals about 9 upcoming legends, as well as a bunch of new weapons, heirlooms, and even a map.
The user could not only find out the names of supposedly future legends, but also learn their special abilities, as well as gameplay animations. While plans are subject to change, according to the leak, these 9 legends could make their way into the game in the future:
- Pipeline (Support)
- Scryer (scout)
- Newcastle (defence)
- Uplink (protection)
- Advantage (intelligence)
- Catalyst (Protection)
- Phantom (Support)
- Jester (inaudible)
- Caliber (Support)
Massive Apex Legends leak reveals 9 potential legends and more
The user was also able to capture gameplay of the legends showing off their abilities. Similar datamines and leaks have occurred in the past, prematurely revealing legends ahead of time, but there is a good chance they are just placeholders or under development.
Respawn has scammed players in the past, especially with Legend, Forge, and there’s a good chance the studio will change plans on the fly. These legends could possibly be reworked, skinned, or thrown out entirely if they don’t fit the meta in a way that feels right.
In addition, the user could also learn about upcoming weapons, game modes, and more. A new map called “Split Moon”has been discovered, which could be the location for an upcoming season, or possibly a couple of seasons in the future.
Respawn recently kicked off Apex Legends Season 12 with the introduction of Mad Maggie. The studio is currently working on porting the game to mobile devices, with a global launch scheduled for later this year.
