In the past week or two, developer Respawn Entertainment has continued to be very vocal on the future of its growing battle royale, Apex Legends. In that, the firm announced a new Champion Edition for the free-to-play title revealing that new users can drop in at the start of Season 7 with the new Legend alongside all eight other characters behind an unlock wall.

While the firm has not mentioned much on the new character, plenty has leaked prematurely on the new character revealing the next addition to be another female named Horizon. Through a teased challenge list, players when completing the objectives will be given a keycard to enable gravity lifts in specific parts of the map.

Now in a new Stories from the Outlands, Respawn Entertainment gives an in-depth back story on the new Legend. You can watch the trailer in the video below:

In addition to the new character, a new map will be coming as well. Titled ‘Olympus’, players who completed the quest line from Season 5 might remember the reference to the region from the discovery of Titanfall 2’s Ashe which followed into the Season 6 questline also. Even more, the team also shares that a new vehicle called the Trident will be introduced assisting players in travelling across the new map.

Season 7: Ascension will also be debuting alongside the Steam version for Apex Legends. While simultaneously spreading the news, Respawn Entertainment did clarify that the Nintendo Switch version will now be ushered to a later release sometime in 2021. You can read the full report by heading here.
