While Apex Legends fanatics could also be upset within the discovery, the replies on the publish appear to have discovered it fairly hilarious.
Respawn has a historical past with Apex dataminers. After a variety of leaks, in 2020 Respawn admitted it faked the Forge character to mess with dataminers. At the time it sounded just like the builders at Respawn had been fed up with datamine-driven leaks (one developer stated dataminers had been “stealing” Respawn’s proper to resolve how content material is introduced), however it appears to be like like they’re having amusing about it now.
Apex Legends Season 18 launched on August 8, and it was a reasonably hefty replace for the free-to-play shooter. For extra info on the brand new adjustments, take a look at IGN’s Apex Legends Season 18 explainer.
