Apex Legends writer promises \u201cfun\u201d Mirage storyline coming in Season 6 Respawn EntertainmentHaven\u2019t had enough of fast-talking, wise-cracking Apex Legends funny guy Mirage just yet? Good, because he\u2019s getting even more \u201cfun\u201d storylines once Season 6 arrives, according to a promise from battle royale writer Tom Casiello. Mirage spent much of the early days of Apex Legends basically on the sideline. He was one of the worst picks in-game, and had little in the way of character development in the lore too. Season 4 changed all that, however. The fast-talking trickster copped a monster buff, which fired him to the top of the metagame. Soon after, the Apex writers began pouring lore tidbits for the confident-yet-nervous Elliot Witt into the game. Mirage fans are certainly living in a golden age for their character too; the trickster will join IMC soldier Bangalore and revenge-chasing Loba as a central Legend in Season 6, at least according to Respawn writer Tom Casiello. Casiello\u2019s promise of more \u201cfun\u201d storylines for the Holographic Trickster came in a Twitter thread that started with a quintessential Casiello joke. The Apex Legends penman \u2018admitted\u2019 (read: joked) the writing team had, unfortunately, \u201ctaken a season off lore-writing.\u201d Of course, the Apex Legends fandom spun up into a tizzy; Respawn\u2019s battle royale has been fired to all-new levels of popularity, thanks to its character narratives. It was \u201ctruly a shame\u201d there\u2019d be no more lore in season six \u2014 especially for Mirage \u2014 one Apex fan replied, and others echoed the sentiment too. Casiello couldn\u2019t keep the facade up for long, though the writer did follow up the jokes with another classic tongue-in-cheek post. He tagged co-writers Manny Hagopian and Ashley Reed, and pretended to be disappointed lore had been binned, before making a roundabout Mirage promise. \u201cWe aren\u2019t?? Nobody told us! Hey, @MannyHagopian and @ashsmashreed! I guess that\u2019s it for Mirage lore, folks. Throw out everything we had planned for him in Season Six. Would\u2019ve been fun too! Oh well,\u201d he wrote, seemingly enjoying himself. We aren\u2019t?! Nobody told us. Hey, @MannyHagopian and @ashsmashreed! I guess that\u2019s it for Mirage lore, folks.

The title\u2019s main storyline heading into Season 6 is focused on Loba and Revenant; it could even see players head to new world Olympus.

Season 6 will also add turret-wielding Legend Rampart, who seems to be involved with Ash and Blisk. Gameplay-wise, the battle royale will also get a few major changes. Respawn is adding new \u201ccrafting\u201d mechanics to the game, and there\u2019s a chance Apex Legends will finally get its third new arena map, Olympus, this month too. Basically, Apex Legends could go anywhere when the next season arrives on August 18. The Respawn writing team has been flexing its muscles in recent seasons \u2014 even while locked in quarantine \u2014 and the future is getting brighter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
