Howay man, it’s Jackson Williams
Season 13 ofApex Legendsis arriving May 10th and there’s yet another new Legend entering the Apex Games: Newcastle. Newcastle is a defensive character with many, many shields, and who vibes a little like RoboCop crossed withDead Space’s Isaac Clarke. Season 13, dubbed ‘Saviors’, also introduces somebeastly changesto the huge Storm Point map that have beenteasedover the past few weeks on theApex Legends Twitter.
There’s a very good reason why this trailer spends so much time concentrating on starting Legend Bangalore. Some kind ofgiant enemy crustaceanwith a weak point on its back attacks the Apex crew during her leaving party – she’s retiring from the games to try to track down her family. After the big bad is defeated and a few brain cells have fired together, Bangalore removes her replacement Newcastle’s helmet to find out he’s her missing brother, Jackson. Guess she’ll be staying in the games after all then.
Newcastle’sportrayed by actor Gabe Kunda, who you might be familiar with fromValorantas the similarly robotic-looking KAY/O orCall Of Duty: Warzone’s Owethu ‘Jackal’ Mabuza. According to the Apex backstory, Newcastle was meant to enter in Season 4 but lost out to the hulking Forge. Thingsdidn’t go so well for Forge, soRevenant took his spotinstead.
Apex Legends is free-to-play onSteamandOrigin, where Newcastle will be unlockable for 12,000 Legend Tokens or 750 Apex Coins. Keep checking in with ourApex Legends character tier listfor updated tips on who to pick for your main.
