Apex Legends continues to capture the attention of fans around the world, especially as the community eagerly awaits the latest changes and additions to the game. With Season 24 officially underway, Players are excited about the new meta changes, tweaks to existing mechanics, and the potential for upcoming Legends. But beyond Season 24, there are some intriguing updates and Leaks about future characters, including potential new Legends and even a much-anticipated Apex Legends 2. Here’s a breakdown of everything we know so far about the future of the game, new character reveals, and what might be coming to Apex in the near future.
No New Legend in Season 24—But Sparrows’ Arrival in Season 25 Is Imminent
Season 24 of Apex Legends is already live, but it looks like the excitement surrounding new Legends has to wait just a bit longer. While many had hoped to see a new character debut this season, it turns out that a new addition won’t be arriving in Season 24. Instead, the first major legend of 2024 is now expected to make her debut in Season 25.
Sparrow (previously known as Artemis) is a new character still under development, and while we don’t have an official release date for her yet, recent leaks and data-mined information have confirmed she will be a Recon-class Legend. This news was also backed up by Yoro, a trusted source in the Apex community, who revealed that Artemis has been renamed to Sparrow in the game files.
Her abilities, which include a sonar-based passive that detects enemies, are aligned with her role as a Recon character. Her tactical ability involves a trap that significantly reduces Movement speed for enemies caught in it, while her ultimate is a crossbow—a weapon thatbears similarities to her previous iterations. This was a weapon previously teased as a part of her character concept back when she was known as Artemis. While her ultimate ability isn’t finalized yet, leaks suggest it could feature a scorpion-like design that allows her to engage enemies from a distance.
This character seems poised to make waves when she finally hits the battlefield, but as of now, her launch is expected to happen a whole season from now in Season 25.

Fade: The Mystery Legend and His Phase Abilities
Another exciting upcoming Legend is Fade, whose presence has been teased in various leaks. While Fade won’t be part of Season 24, Yoro and others have confirmed that the Legend is currently being play-tested. His abilities sound incredibly unique, especially if you’re a fan of the void mechanics we’ve seen with other characters like Wraith and Ash.
Here’s a quick look at Fade’s abilities:
- Passive: Void Reflex – Automatically enters the Void for a few seconds before being knocked down.
- Tactical: Phase Rewind – Teleport back to the position you were just a moment ago, utilizing the Void.
- Ultimate: Phase Chamber – A device that sends all players within its radius into the Void. While in the chamber, enemies are marked, and a variety of perks like increased rewind distance or a larger chamber radius could be activated.
Although Fade won’t be coming to the game this season, the fact that he’s being tested shows that he could make a major impact in the future. His abilities are focused on shifting in and out of the Void, a concept that has been a key element in Apex Legends’ most iconic characters.
Blisk: The Titanfall Connection and a Potential Future Character
One of the most exciting rumors circulating in the Apex community is the potential arrival of Blisk, a fan-favorite character from Titanfall. Blisk has long been speculated to make an appearance in Apex Legends, especially with the ongoing theme of Titanfall influences in the game.
Data mining from the game’s files has revealed information that points to Blisk being one of the next Legends to come into the fold. He was even featured in the teaser for Season 24, which only adds credibility to the idea that Blisk could soon be a playable character in Apex Legends.
Blisk’s abilities are rumored to focus on his leadership role within the Titanfall universe. His abilities could include:
- Pilot Kit Passive: Hack survey beacons with his data knife.
- My Rules: Create a damaging zone powered by the Arena’s ring.
- Standby for Titanfall: Summon a Titan to suppress an area.
The possibility of Titan-related abilities has only been bolstered by recent leaks, including new animations and textures that could be used to bring Titans to the Apex arena in some form. While a Titanfall crossover has long been speculated, seeing Blisk officially enter the game would be an exciting way to combine Apex’s fast-paced action with the nostalgic appeal of Titanfall.
More Legends in the Pipeline
While Sparrow and Fade are the most discussed future characters, a range of other Legends are rumored to be in development. AG 420, another well-known leaker in the community, recently unearthed details from the game’s files showing a Variety of characters. Some of these, like Seismic, Flux, and Scion, have been floating around in leaks for a while. However, there are some newer names in the mix, including Uplink, Jester, and Packrat.
One standout possibility is Sanctuary, who is rumored to have a grenade-based tactical that creates a “pain zone.” It’s also possible that Sparrow and the Olympus map update could be part of the new wave of changes for Season 25.
With Apex Legends 2 likely to launch around 2026, many believe that the developers may be holding back on releasing all these Legends until the next major iteration of the game is ready.
