Apex Legends is set to launch with its first Season in March. But when exactly? A new rumor seems to know the answer.
When will Season 1 of Apex Legends finally arrive? For weeks, the community of Respawn’s battle royale shooter Apex Legends has speculated about one question: When will the first Season and the Battle Pass be available?“.
It seems an anonymous source knows the answer. The pass is said to be released on March 12, 2019.
How reliable is this source? According to DailyEsports, which had an interview with the source, it is said to be a person who has close contact with the developers. This is reportedly confirmed by another source.
March 12 is also a realistic date as it falls in the middle of the month, thus fulfilling the official announcement of “March” as the release window.
What will the Battle Pass cost? The source also states that the new Battle Pass for Season 1 cannot be bought with in-game currency. Unlike in Fortnite, you must purchase it separately in the shop using real money. However, no specific price was mentioned.
In Fortnite, you can unlock the pass in-game.
New Info on the Hero Octane
This is what we know about the new showcase hero: The unknown source also had information about one of the new heroes from Season 1. He is said to be called Octane and has been mentioned in leaks multiple times before.
Now there is a concrete image that, according to the source, was taken directly at the workplace of an employee of Respawn Entertainment.
This is Octane: The image shows the hero Octane, an androgynous figure with a gas mask and the metal pose “Fork”. Octane is referred to in-game as a “high-speed devil”.
According to the source, he is said to be the showcase hero of the season and will likely appear directly at launch or shortly before.
What can Octane do? The alleged skills of Octane have also been leaked:
- Adrenaline Junkie (Tactical): Octane will be 30 percent faster for 6 seconds. He is immune to effects that slow him down. However, the ability costs him 10 percent of his health.
- Swift Mend (Passive): If Octane does not take damage from anything, he slowly regenerates health.
- Launch Pad (Ultimate): You can deploy a kind of trampoline that allows you and your team to make long jumps.
What does all this mean? If these skills are accurate, then Octane will be an extremely fast and tough nuisance. His skill lets him zip around quickly, and he won’t even be slowed down by snares.
This should make him an ideal flanker who doesn’t have to hide from Bangalore or Pathfinder.
Will you play Octane if he ends up like described here?
