Apex Legends' Survive short shows us new Season 14 character

We all knew that Apex Legends was going to be getting a new playable character in Season 14 - and there were some Apex Legends character leaks to look at, too - but now we know who-exactly we're going to see joing the roster come the Apex Legends Season 14 release date and we can't wait. Respawn Entertainment's latest animated Stories From The Outlands short, titled "Survive" has given fans their first look at Vantage - the newest legend to join the Apex games.

In the animated short, we start out with a look at two survivors stranded on a strange icy planet following an intense crash-landing. Everything on this planet is trying to kill out protagonist and her mother, but... That doesn't mean the creatures are the biggest danger she's facing - and we haven't even got to the Apex Games yet!

Leading into the bulk of the narrative being told, we find out that Vantage's mother was actually a prisoner on the crashed ship - not what Vantage was told. We don't know why she lied to her just yet, but we know there's an interesting story to be told throughout the next season and beyond.

Respawn раньше времени раскрыла нового персонажа Apex Legends

Студия Respawn случайно загрузила в сеть раньше времени очередной ролик из серии "Историй из Внешних земель", который позволяет игрокам ознакомиться с небольшой предысторией Vantage — новой героиней королевской битвы Apex Legends.

Respawn accidentally revealed its next Apex Legends character

Respawn Entertainment seems to have accidentally shown off the next Apex Legends character joining the roster.

You might remember that back in March there was quite a big Apex Legends leak showing nine potential new characters, including the most recent addition Newcastle. Now it seems that Respawn itself has accidentally shown a brief preview of the next character joining the game, advertising a potential upcoming Stories from the Outlands. If you want to wait for the official reveal though, maybe skip this one.

As reported by Dot Esports, one fan spotted this preview in the Apex client yesterday (July 23), inviting players to watch a Stories from the Outland episode titled Survive. "There's a new installment of the Stories from the Outlands!" reads the description. "Watch survive and meet the new Legend joining the Games in Apex Legends: Hunted, coming August 9!"

We know it shouldn't be taken for granted, but it feels like a given that Respawn Entertainment is going to release one new playable legend for Apex Legends per season. With that in mind, Apex Legends' Season 14 update is on the way and Respawn Entertainment's latest teaser has everyone online thinking the same thing: 'Vantage' is coming to the battle royale shooter next.

At 13:38 PST / 16:38 EST / 21:38 BST on July 21, the official Apex Legends social media account shared an image of four hand-written diary entries with the following caption: " You've got to keep yourself busy when you're one of the only two people on the planet."

The diary entries themselves include comments on a person's "grand-mom", their experience with saving a small bird from a "tangle of brambles" (and then shooting and eating said bird), and their boredom. While it's a clear reference to some new character being introduced into the Apex Legends universe - hopefully the new playable legend - it might not be as clear as to why people think this is a reference to 'Vantage', who we found out about in some Apex Legends character leaks earlier in the year.
