Apex Legends writers reveal more on Loba\u2019s abilities & role in Season 5 Respawn EntertainmentLoba is Apex Legends\u2019 newest character, and the game\u2019s writers have hinted at her abilities, story, and how she factors into changes expected for Season 5. The fifth season of Apex Legends, Fortune\u2019s Favor, launches on May 12. So far, we know that Loba will be released, but not what her role is or how the game\u2019s map will be impacted. Her cinematic trailer and in-game teasers have revealed two other pieces of information: she possesses the technological capacity for teleportation, and still hates Revenant. New details about Loba Following YouTuber \u2018staycation\u2019s\u2019 interview with Respawn Entertainment\u2019s writers, Tom Casiello and Ashley Reed, we now know some more. While they remained mostly coy, they still made strong hints about her and Season 5, which Casiello expects to be \u201ca real turning point for Apex Legends.\u201d Many have wondered about Loba\u2019s abilities, skins and in-game quips. In her trailer, she is seen wielding a staff and, in the in-game teaser, her ability to teleport is shown. When asked if said staff would be incorporated in her abilities, Casiello excitedly suggested that it \u201cvery well could!\u201d As for teleportation, he confirmed that she has the capacity to do so, but also dispelled theories that it operates like Wraith\u2019s teleportation: \u201cWe are not going into the Void \u2026 the Void is safe for Wraith\u201d The writers also discussed what fans believed were two notable visual cues from the trailer: the glowing gems of a stolen necklace, and a sleek stolen mask. Reed asserted that the gems are in no way related to her abilities, while suggesting that the mask could, one day, be part of a legendary skin: \u201cNever say never!\u201d Satiating fan curiosity surrounding Revenant and Loba\u2019s in-game interactions, the writers confirmed that they\u2019ve worked for months to ensure that players\u2019 \u201cexperience playing with Revenant and Loba is as authentic as it possibly can be.\u201d So there should be some spicy quips, at the very least. Hints at Season 5\u2019s map and Loba\u2019s involvement They also touched on the prospective map and story changes coming into play for Season 5. Many theories have played with concepts of laboratories, particularly underground ones, and the roles of the Harvester and Hammond Robotics. Without giving too much away, Casiello confirmed that her \u201crelationship with Hammond will be explored very much in Season 5\u201d \u2013 specifying that players will \u201cget to see how she interacts\u201d with the mysterious company. Further, he elaborated that the Harvester is going to be heavily involved in Season 5 \u201cand in seasons beyond.\u201d When pressed on the teased subterranean laboratories, he held back from confirming speculation and simply asserted that everything \u201cwill be answered in the launch trailer for the season.\u201d So Loba\u2019s teleportation and staff will almost certainly be a factor in Season 5, but her character will also have a major impact on the season\u2019s map. Now we can\u2019t wait for the official launch trailer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
