First Apex Legends Season 8 teasers: New Legend, abilities, planet
As the end of Apex Legends Season 7 looms near, we are starting to pick up hints and teasers about Season 8. This includes the brand new Legend, cool new abilities, and even a new planet.
Respawn has done a great job with Season 7 of Apex Legends and are continuing to support it as it comes down to its last several weeks. The Fight Night Collection Event was another way in which the devs have been trying to keep Apex fans happy.
Now, we have several teasers that point towards crucial Season 8 information, including Salvo – a potential new planet in the Apex Legends universe.
Apex Legends Season 8 teasers
The social media accounts for Apex Legends have been particularly busy as of late. The official Apex Legends Twitter account posted a GIF captioned “New Blood”.
New Blood probably refers to a new face coming to Apex Legends. The GIF signifies the unity of Salvo and the Syndicate (in charge of the Apex games), with extra care needed for Salvo.
New planet Salvo
Salvo is another planet that has featured no connection to Apex Legends. But this teaser seems to suggest that this is changing. For some lore on Salvo, here is an official letter that was on Wattson’s desk.
“I am writing to inform you that Salvo – which rejected the Mercenary Syndicate’s position to join Syndicate Space in 2722 – is now being guided by new leadership sympathizers to the cause of peace within the Outlands.
Talks with this new administration was prolonged, but ultimately fruitful; as of today, the Mercenary Syndicate Treaty has been amended, and Salvo will become the seventh world to join Syndicate Space.
Salvo brings with it [redacted]. In the coming [redacted] Office of Public Relations will be rolling out a social [redacted] to dispel inaccuracies about [redacted] to create an appropriate [redacted] for their integration into the Syndicate, [redacted] including exciting new developments within the Apex Games.
At this time do not correspond with the Legends regarding this matter. Expect further instructions [redacted] our office in the days to come.”
We aren’t sure how Salvo becomes fully integrated into the new Season 8. It may be the catalyst for a new map down the line. For the time being, it seems to be the home planet of our next Legend…
Fuse in Apex Legends
Dataminers recently unearthed the potential identity of our new Legend for Season 8 – Fuse – and he is supposed to be an explosives expert.
That would explain the Salvo aspect with the word meaning a successive barrage of fire. The datamined info suggests that these will be Fuse’s abilities:
- Tactical: Projectile Grenade
- Ultimate: Firebomb
There have also been hints of Fuse’s Ultimate as well.
But a new teaser has also pointed towards some new Abilities heading for Season 8. Respawn recently gave players a welcome surprise by bringing back King’s Canyon and the Mirage Voyage point of interest.
In the special new mode, a teaser video shows some bombs on the map that can be triggered and explode to great effect. There are thoughts that these will be included in Season 8 and can be intertwined with Legends’ abilities.
How this will take effect we’re not sure, but this should all become more clear as we get closer to Season 8.
Season 7 of Apex Legends is scheduled to conclude on Feb 1st. Season 8 is expected to start soon after.
