Respawn Entertainment’s Apex Legends will be starting its 13th season on May 10th, and the developer has just unveiled a proper first look at the newest upcoming addition to the game’s roster, Newcastle, in a cinematic trailer. Check out the trailer down below.
Presumably long-time Legend Bangalore’s long-lost brother, Newcastle (also called Hero of Harris Valley) has an instantly recognizable Robocop-esque look, thanks to the visors on the heavy armor that he dons. On the topic of abilities, Newcastle uses shields to protect his teammates from all sorts of danger. He seems to be playing a tanky role for a squad by setting up damage-soaking shields that allow the team to advance further into battle. More details about his role and abilities will be popping up in the coming days, so be sure to stay tuned for that.
The trailer also showcases a collective fight against a giant crab called The Downed Beast, which lurks around the shores of Storm Point. We are assuming that this boss fight might end up being a limited-time event for Saviors. Apex Legends‘ upcoming season will also feature a new and reworked Ranked system alongside many other changes and additions to the experience.
