Apex Legends isn't ruling out making more legends free after Revenant

As many of you playing Respawn Entertainment's Apex Legends will know all-too-well, everything in this battle royale has some sort of price. Well, except for Revenant right now. Respawn is making Apex Legends' reworked Revenant a freebie to celebreate his resurrection - which is great news if you've wanted him for a while. If not, though, you might feel a little left out. We know that this is one of the best competitive FPS games out there, but not everyone likes Revenant, right? Well, don't worry about that, though; this might not be the only chance to get free characters in Apex Legends to fill out your roster.

Fans of Respawn Entertainment's Apex Legends are no strangers to microtransactions and monetization, but sometimes you realise that you really are being taken for a fool by the bundles in the battle royale's store. Sure, this might be one of the best competitive FPS games out there, but it's also just a bit of a rip-off at times. A prime example of this is Apex Legends' Revenant Resurrection Launch Bundle - a collection of cosmetics released to celebrate Apex Legends' Revenant rework and the start of Season 18. If you want to buy this bundle, it will cost you just as much as Baldur's Gate 3 - 2023's highest-rated game.

APEX LEGENDS™: RESURRECTION PATCH NOTES

[h2]LEGEND UPDATE: REVENANT
[/h2]


For almost 300 years, Revenant was under the Syndicate’s thumb with the help of Hammond, and all he wanted was to escape. Now, suddenly, he starts to glitch—someone has launched a new protocol. He finds that he’s able to see enemies low on health, unleash a powerful leap forward, and forge a shroud of shadows around him that blocks incoming damage. But he also knows how to hold a grudge.

Check out Revenant’s new look and new abilities for yourself! He’s unlocked all season long, and you can complete challenges throughout the season to unlock him permanently. Read the full breakdown of Revenant’s rework and get behind the screens in our highlights blog here.

With great new abilities, comes a new class—Revenant is now a Skirmisher.

PASSIVE: Assassin’s Instinct
Highlight nearby visible enemies who are low on health. You crouch walk faster and have improved wall climbing.

TACTICAL: Shadow Pounce
Unleash a powerful pounce forwards. Hold to charge for farther distances.

ULTIMATE: Forged Shadows
Forge a shroud of hardened shadows around you that blocks direct damage and regenerates after breaking. Your shadows and tactical are refreshed on knockdowns.
