Apex Legends teases Season 8 Legend abilities in-game Respawn Entertainment \/ u\/MisterMnMssThe time has come for Apex Legends to begin dropping teasers for the new Legend, as we\u2019re only weeks away from the launch of Season 8. Players have already found the new hints dropping (literally) on Kings Canyon. Like previous seasons, Respawn likes to drop some hints about the upcoming character, and specifically their abilities, in-game, so that everyone can jump on the hype train early. Last season, it was all about Horizon\u2019s Gravity Lifts, which were placed sporadically around the map, and players could activate them after getting her access key from the Firing Range. This time, you won\u2019t need to do any hunting, but will need to survive till the later rounds of a match to see the teaser. Season 8 Legend teaser: Bombs drop Kings Canyon returned to Apex on January 15, along with Mirage Voyage, and will be around for one week. Apex also released the first teaser on social media, all about Salvo.

Players have started to show the teaser in action on Reddit. How exactly this will work as a Legend ability remains to be seen. It could be like Bangalore or Gibraltar\u2019s abilities, where they explode automatically, or perhaps players will need to shoot them to set them off. Who is the Season 8 Legend? That, we still don\u2019t know. Respawn are unlikely to reveal them until much closer to the season launch, typically around one week before. If you don\u2019t mind the spoilers, data miners have been trying their hardest to uncover who the Legend will be and their abilities. Although, it\u2019s always worth remembering that Respawn have tried to fool data miners before \u2013 like with Forge. How they will fit into the lore is also unknown, but all signs point to them being from the planet Salvo, which has just reunited with the Syndicate \u2013 the group in charge of the Apex games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
