'Apex Legends' Leak Reveals New Heroes And Abilities Coming Soon

With any big game comes a whole lot of datamining by fans so they can get a sneak peek at what’s coming next, and Apex Legends appears like it’s going to be no exception.

Dataminers have been hard at work pulling things out of Apex from behind the scenes, and they appear to have found two new heroes and their signature abilities in the data. This may be subject to change, but so far we have:

Octane – A hero that has some sort of Stimpack ability, which jives with a Titanfall 2 Pilot ability that so many characters have derived their skill from in Apex (Mirage’s hologram, Pathfinder’s grappling hook, etc.).

Wattson – Sounds like a robot name to be me, but that’s unclear. His ability is apparently some sort of Tesla Trap, an electric trap to snag/damage enemies. I expect more trap-like enemies like Caustic because he’s the only one so far.

- Crypto

- Husaria

- Jericho

- Nomad

- Prophet

- Rampart

- Rosie

- Skunner

Besides these two, there’s a flat list of names with no other data attached to them. They could be heroes, they could even be weapons, who knows:

Crypto, with the power of a currency bubble! Just kidding, I have no idea. If all of these do turn out to be heroes, that would be more heroes than currently even exist in the game. I do expect the Apex Legends roster to swell over time, and like League of Legends, I think EA wants to make a good chunk of money selling new heroes, unlike Overwatch who gives them away for free.
