The release of Apex Legends Season 1 brought with it the first new character added to the game since its surprise release in January – Octane, the death-defying adrenaline junkie. However, Octane will not be the only Legend added during the Wild Frontier season – as Sony has let slip that a second Legend will launch sometime in the next 12 weeks.
While developer Respawn always promised that more Legends would be added during the game’s seasons, there’s never been any official announcement about how many new characters we could expect to land. Thanks to Sony, we now know specifcally that “two new characters will launch over the course of the season”, including Octane.
So who is this second Legend? While dataminers had previously dug up ten potential new characters coming to Apex Legends, if we had to put money down, the most likely to make an appearance this season is Wattson – who, like Octane, has had the most detail leaked about her so far. We even potentially know one of her abilities – a Tesla Trap, which goes with the character’s electricity-based theme.
