Respawn simply bait and switched the following Apex Legends character


For every new season of of Apex Legends, it looks like gamers at all times come to the social gathering with leaks and datamines in hand, already having unearthed half the main points about no matter Respawn are about to announce. So far this season is totally different, kind of. Despite a crimson herring, it seems to be just like the leakers might have been proper in spite of everything, based mostly on the animated in-world video launched by Respawn in the present day.

In the animated quick launched in the present day, a reporter interviews Forge—the lately introduced new legend for season 4—about his imminent entry to the Apex Games. Forge is fairly assured about his abilities and dares any of the opposite legends to “bring the fight up close and personal.” Alright, right here’s your probability to observe it earlier than I let you know what occurs. Have at it.

For a minute there, it appeared like Respawn had gotten the higher of gamers for season 4. They introduced Forge, the hulky brawling character as the following legend, regardless of gamers completely anticipating to see the long-leaked robotic character Revenant. However, as Imogen reported final week, Forge’s look was fairly fishy and it seemed like Revenant was hiding within the background.

Players re-circulated an outdated leaked development sheet displaying future characters and mentioning that Forge isn’t one among them. That’s not onerous proof, nevertheless it seems to be like they had been onto one thing. Revenant was completely hiding within the shadows. So if Revenant takes out Forge, is the crimson robotic the true new legend for season 4? Or are Respawn including each?

Polygon have noticed that Forge’s headshot on the official Apex web site has been greyed out and his identify has been modified to “RIP Jimie ‘Forge’ Mccormick” with the outline “Never defeated (except for that one time).” Sounds like his prospects for the season aren’t so sizzling.

We’ll discover out for positive shortly when Apex Legends season 4 begins on February 4th.
