Season 25 is creeping closer, and Respawn has officially kicked off the hype cycle with the very first teaser for what’s to come. Earlier today, the official @PlayApex account posted a mysterious message that instantly sparked theories across the community:

“Tracking Subject: Artemis

But instead of showing off a new Legend or flashy cinematic, the teaser focused on something entirely unexpected — a cat.


The Teaser Location: District Map Discovery

The teaser appears to reference a specific spot on the District map. If you head there in-game right now, you’ll find a small black cat perched quietly at the location. No voice lines. No effects. Just the cat.

This has left many Players scratching their heads — especially since Leaks leading up to this point pointed to Belva or Sparrow as the next potential legends. So why is Respawn teasing “Artemis” instead?


So… Who or What is Artemis?

According to data miners, particularly Hypermyst, the cat currently found in-game is internally referred to in the files as “Artemis_Cat.”This strongly suggests that Artemis is the name of the cat, not the next Legend.

Given the wording in the tweet — “Tracking Subject: Artemis” — it seems the cat is what’s being tracked, not a person. This could be Respawn’s way of slowly rolling out lore, or even connecting the pet to an upcoming Legend as a companion, similar to Crypto’s drone or Revenant’s shadow forms.


What Does This Mean for Belva or Sparrow?

The teaser doesn’t debunk Belva or Sparrow entirely. If anything, it might confirm their involvement in a new and more mysterious way. Artemis could be:

  • A pet or scout belonging to the new Legend
  • A visual clue tied to Belva/Sparrow’s ability or backstory
  • Or a new type of teaser style leading up to a reveal next week

Either way, this marks the first official Season 25 teaser, and it’s already got the community buzzing.


Final Thoughts

We don’t have the full picture just yet, but one thing’s clear: Season 25’s first teaser is here, and it’s starting with something small, quiet, and mysterious — a cat named Artemis.

Expect more teasers and official info to roll out in the coming days as we approach the May 6 launch date. Until then, keep your eyes on that cat, and maybe… follow where it leads.
