Apex Legends’ season 13 trailer introduces new legend Newcastle

Apex‘s newest Legend is ready for the Arena, and the game’s got a new trailer to show off his many shielding abilities. In the first trailer for Apex Legends‘ new season, Savior, we get glimpses of Newcastle’s skills, along with some exciting fights, and one giant sea-faring monster. Apex Legends: Savior is set to be released April 28.

The trailer’s most notable character is Newcastle. He seems to have been positioned as the new Legend of the game, fitting the March leak. In an older Stories from the Outlands filmtic, Newcastle was revealed to be Jackson, Bangalore’s younger brother. This is the first time we’ve seen him in action in the Apex Arena, and the first time Bangalore realized the mysteriously masked Newcastle was actually her long-lost brother.

Newcastle has a strong focus on shields. This is evident in the trailer when he and his sister face an enemy in the Arena that invades in the middle. The creature emerges from the ocean and takes out of a couple of Legends before Newcastle shields everyone and they manage to take it out.

While this trailer certainly teases a lot of additions for Apex season 13, we won’t know for sure what’s on the way until Respawn reveals a bit more when the season arrives later this week.
