Huge Apex Legends leak reveals names and abilities of 9 new legends
Butcher79
Because Apex Legends is a live service game, the community is always on the lookout for the next big update or event. The latest Apex Legends leak gives gamers a great discussion point for a long time to come.
Because Respawn doesn't reveal information about new legends ahead of time, dataminers and insiders often take it upon themselves to identify the information ahead of time.
Most of the time, the clues come in the form of game files that give only minor hints, but sometimes major leaks are revealed from the developer version of Apex, which should only be available inside Respawn.
There was a huge leak on March 22 when 9 unreleased Legends and their abilities were revealed in one huge leak.
Note: Keep in mind that many of the legends revealed in the leak may be older versions of an already released character or have been completely scrapped. Not only that, it's impossible to know where this build of the game comes from, so a lot could have changed since then, and before any of the legends are released, if at all.
Nine unreleased Apex Legends characters leaked
Initially by simply posting a screenshot of the list of unreleased legends on ApexUncovered subreddit, many community members questioned the authenticity of the leak.
However, their suspicions were short-lived, as the insider then posted a video of Legends and their abilities inside the Shooting Range.
A total of nine unreleased characters were revealed, featuring Conduit, scryer, Newcastle, Uplink, Vantage, Catalyst, Phantom, Jester и Caliber.
The huge leak not only revealed the names of the Legends, but also showcased their abilities, which we'll cover below. It's worth noting that it's likely that many of these characters could be recycled or scrapped.
It's also worth noting that similar leaks have surfaced in the past, and many of the legends have changed a lot since they actually appeared in the game.

Either way, this gives us an idea of some of the concepts and ability ideas the developers have for future legends.
