Apex Legends Players have been eagerly waiting for a new Legend, but as of early 2025, no new additions have been introduced. However, Leaks suggest that Season 25 will bring a new character named Sparrow, along with several other Legends in development.

Who Is Sparrow?

According to Apex Legends leaker Hypermist, Sparrow was originally known as Artemis and is rumored to be Vantage’s mother. Although this isn’t confirmed, it aligns with speculation within the community.

Sparrow’s abilities have undergone several versions during development:

  • Passive: Ability to visually detect sounds made by enemies while stationary (potentially addressing Apex’s long-standing audio issues).
  • Tactical: Variations have included a bear trap, pulse blade, and a buffed version of Ash’s data knife.
  • Ultimate: A crossbow that fires a charged projectile, with an early version resembling an L-STAR or Charge Rifle shot.

Why Was Sparrow Delayed to Season 25?

Sparrow was originally planned for Season 24 but was pushed back. Sources suggest this was to align with additional content such as:

  • Olympus Map Update
  • Mad Maggie’s Heirloom (expected in Season 25)
  • Weapon meta overhaul

Additionally, leaks indicate that the Bocek Bow is leaving the care package and will now use sniper ammo, removing arrows from the game.

Future Legends in Development

Beyond Sparrow, a list of upcoming Legends was leaked, revealing a Variety of characters at different stages of development:

  • Scryer
  • Uplink
  • Jester
  • Blisk (yes, that Blisk from Titanfall)

Fade from Apex Mobile Could Be Joining the Main Game

One of the most exciting leaks suggests that Fade, a Legend exclusive to apex legends mobile, is being worked on for the main game. Fade was the first mobile-exclusive character, and his abilities include:

  • Passive – Void Reflex: Automatically enters the Void for a few seconds when about to be knocked down.
  • Tactical – Phase Rewind: Returns to a previous position through the Void.
  • Ultimate – Phase Chamber: Traps all players in a Void cage, marking them when they exit.

Fade’s Void-based abilities could introduce fresh playstyles, especially if he joins the roster in the near future.

Are We Getting a New Map?

Leaks suggest that Respawn is working on new maps, and the planet Salvo (home to Fuse and Mad Maggie) could be the next Battle Royale location. Since Maggie is getting an heirloom and a Fuse rework is rumored, this aligns with a Season 25 release timeline.

More Heirloom Changes and Exotic Shards

Respawn is also testing heirloom recolors that could be purchased using Exotic Shards. If this system is implemented, players who buy a recolor may be able to unlock the original heirloom using Exotic Shards later.

Additionally, Newcastle’s heirloom is expected this season, and future heirlooms are in development.

Double Jump for All Legends?

Another major gameplay change being tested is double jumping for all Legends, except Ash and Valkyrie (due to their existing Movement abilities). This is not confirmed but suggests Respawn is exploring ways to increase mobility across all characters.

What’s Next for Apex Legends?

  • Sparrow is coming in Season 25.
  • Fade and Sanctuary could be the next additions.
  • New maps are in development, possibly featuring Salvo.
  • Heirloom recolors may become available through Exotic Shards.
  • Double jump is being tested for all Legends.

The future of Apex Legends is looking exciting, with a mix of new characters, movement changes, and potential map updates on the Horizon.
