Dataminers have revealed the latest info on Apex Legends Season 9, including the name, theme, and details on the new Legend that will be arriving.

Apex Legends Season 9 is most likely to begin May 4th, 24 hours after Season 8 finishes. Leaks on Season 9 have been coming thick and fast, as well as the developers sharing hints at the possible updates coming in the new patch notes.

Of course, it is important to keep in mind that this is all subject to change, as developers often have code words for content in the files to throw dataminers off.

Apex Legends Season 9 reliability

Who is the new Apex Legends Season 9 Legend?

Once again, dataminer @Biast12 has revealed the latest leaks on Apex Legends Season 9. The leak includes details on the new Legend, the name for Season 9, and the color theme. However, Biast12’s leaks have been very reliable in the past, and so it is likely these will be accurate, much like the Arena mode.

Firstly, Season 9 is expected to be named “Resurgence” and will take on a purple-colored theme. In Season 8, we saw “Mayhem” and the color was a reddish-orange to represent the fiery chaos of Fuse’s ultimate, The Motherlode.

Season 8 theme

Apex Legends Season 9 will feature purple, perhaps to go along with the new Legend’s aesthetic and abilities. The new Season 9 name, Resurgence, means revival after a period of inactivity. Perhaps this is hinting at the introduction of more Titanfall characters beginning to play bigger roles in the Apex storyline, like Blisk and Ash.

Better still, maybe this is hinting at the supposed new Legend, Valk, and her ability to take to the sky after time spent on the ground.

Biast12 revealed on Twitter that the new Legend arriving in Season 9 will be Valk, a Legend that was leaked a while back and has been talked about continuously in the community. Biast also presented players with the names of her legendary skins, adding credibility to her arrival in Season 9.

Valk is said to have jets that allow her to hover above ground when holding the jump button. As well as this, the new Legend also has an ultimate ability called “Skyward” that acts as a portable redeploy beacon, allowing her and the team to rotate around the map effortlessly.

The Season 9 Legend Valk is known as the Soaring Aviator, hinting at her aerial abilities and also sharing connotations to the theme of Resurgence.
