Apex Legends leak: New characters, maps, heirlooms and more

Apex Legends fans say they’ve uncovered plans for the next two years worth of content — including the next nine Legends — as well as a new map, new weapons, new heirlooms, and more. This information was revealed by a massive leak, which was uploaded anonymously on filehosting sites and then shared via Reddit.

The huge leak includes video files as well as datamined text, and describes the new Legends’ designs and their abilities. Leakers have predicted that Newcastle will be the next game character. This defense legend can pull down his teammates and fortify an area of the map.

In the text files that were included in the leak, the eight Legends also have their ability descriptions. There’s also a peek at a new map, still under construction, called “Divided Moon.” And Crypto’s upcoming heirloom, plus another one for Valkyrie, are also described.

Polygon reached out for comment to Electronic Arts regarding this leak. These documents were already removed from one file host site.

This is not the first time Respawn Entertainment’s game has dealt with leaks. In 2018, a year before the free-to-play battle royale launched, the Titanfall subreddit posted an image of King’s Canyon, Apex’s original map. Fans also got ahead of Crypto’s 2019 reveal, as well as the Halloween event later that year.
