The new – Season is already in the starting blocks. We summarize everything you need to know about the new legend. Everything about the background story, the abilities and the Ultimate in one article. Will the new Legend be in the meta right away?
– Season 13 of Apex Legends is coming soon, and for us that means new locations, new heirlooms, new skins, and of course, a new Legend. At the beginning of – Season 12, we assumed that the leaked character Jester would be the next playable character, but apparently that’s not the case. Instead, the newest legend is the friendly fellow you can see in the cover image: Newcastle.
Who is the new Legend for – Season 13?
The new Legend that will be participating in the Apex Games is Bangalore’s long-lost brother Newcastle. He will be a support hero, particularly focused on protecting and reviving allies. The little we’ve seen of him so far gives the impression that he gets a bit cocky at times. That’s just the way the best legends are, though.
That alone makes it look like Bangalore and him are constantly at loggerheads when they’re on the road together. Let’s see how we experience the two of them together in the game – that could also be quite entertaining.
When will the new Legend be released?
Newcastle will be released at the launch of – Season 13 and that is on Tuesday, May 10, 2022. This new – Season will most likely be released at the same time as the weekly update, so around 7:00 PM. If anything changes, we will of course inform you.
New Legend: Newcastle | Skills
Newcastle’s Tactical: Mobile Shield
Description: Throw a controllable drone that creates a mobile energy shield.
In the trailer it reminds us a bit of Gibraltar’s shield, but when actually connected to an automated or remote-controlled drone, it could prove to be far more versatile than a simple shield to revive your teammates. The ability could be absolutely broken, but we’ll have to wait and see for ourselves what its limitations are.
Newcastle’s Passive: Retrieve The Wounded
Description: Pull downed allies while reviving them and protect them with your revive shield.
The ability to drag allies with you will definitely come in handy, but is definitely not a gamebreaker, especially considering how well downed players can already move on their own.
Newcastle’s Ultimate: Castle Wall
Description: Jump and land in an area or on an ally and create a fortified wall.
This is probably the most exciting of his abilities, but we haven’t seen much of it in the trailer yet. It’s still hard to gauge how this Ultimate will work or how good it will be. However, we can guess that it won’t be easy to use effectively.
As far as everything we already know about the new Legend for Apex Games in – Season 13. Newcastle will definitely be fun to play, but it will also be interesting to see if he can outrank Lifeline. They basically fulfill the same role in a squad. What do you guys think. Newcastle as the new main?
What is actually… “Apex Legends?
Within 24 hours, “Apex Legends” became the most-watched game on Twitch – after one week, over 25 million people were already playing it. What is the battle royale shooter about?
What is “Apex Legends” about?
Scenario: In a distant future, bandits, adventurers, and outlaws settle their disputes in a sporting contest to the death. The setting is a fertile, industrially developed valley on the edge of the galaxy.
- Genre: Battle Royale shooter
- Game modes: survival battle between a maximum of 20 teams of three.
At its core, “Apex Legends” is a classic battle-royale shooter: up to 60 players land simultaneously in teams of three on the game map called “Kings Canyon” – a densely built-up, fertile valley with many accessible houses, bunkers and towers. Once on the ground, unarmed players must search their surroundings for equipment and ammunition. The goal of the game is to stay alive until the end.
To prevent players from hiding all over the map and waiting to automatically be the last one left, the game area shrinks every few minutes. The longer a round lasts, the smaller the area where survivors can move and hide.
Apex Legends refreshes this now classic game formula with some ideas that are unique to the genre: For example, before starting a round, players select one of eight heroes, each of which has two special abilities and facilitates certain play styles.
Bangalore, for example, is the classic soldier who can conceal her position with smoke grenades and call in an artillery strike in an emergency. The heroine Lifeline, on the other hand, can summon a drone to heal teammates – or directly order the delivery of high-value weapons and equipment via aerial drone. This way, all players can find the right hero for their preferred course of action.
How can I play Apex Legends?
Platform: “Apex Legends” is available for PC, Xbox One and Playstation 4.
Price: The battle royale shooter is a “Free to Play” title and can basically be played for free on all platforms.
In-game purchases: “Apex Legends” allows the purchase of cosmetic items and new heroes either by means of in-game currency, which can be earned for free in every round, or with real money. The real-money currency “Apex Coins” can be purchased in five different amounts: The smallest possible amount is 1000 Apex Points for around 9.99 euros, while the largest pack with 10,000 Apex Points content costs 99.99 euros.
The developer emphasizes that it is not possible to buy game advantages with the help of real money: You can only use it to customize the appearance of the heroes, it says, or purchase new heroes.
Age rating: “Apex Legends” does not have a youth rating (USK 18).
Which technical terms should you know?
Respawn Beacon: If a player is shot down, the team members who are still alive have the opportunity to bring the fallen comrade back into the game: Each eliminated player leaves behind a so-called Respawn Banner, which can be collected by the players of the own team and handed in at one of 28 Respawn Beacons, certain locations on the map. If this succeeds, the fallen player returns to the game.
Jumpmaster: At the beginning of the game, one of the maximum three players of a team always takes on the role of the jumpmaster. He decides when and where his team enters the game area.
Ping: Using the middle mouse button, players can alert their teammates to interesting locations in the game world or enemies. These pings are a valuable tool for communicating quickly and efficiently within the team.
