SPARROW: PRODIGY
A seriously skilled, but rarely serious archer enters the Outlands.

THE MAN, HIS LEGEND

Enea Davide Guarino was born into the most respected bounty hunter clan in the Outlands, the Clessidra Rossa, known for their unparalleled archery skills and dogmatic moral code. Enea was a promising successor for the head of the order, but he refused to see the world in Clessidra Rossa’s binary terms, and as he got older his family grew concerned over his resistance to their views.

Being raised by such a tightly-wound group made him restless, often leading him to make reckless decisions. One particular choice created a rift between him and his family, and it became clear they would never see eye to eye. Enea was shunned from his family and the Clessidra Rossa.

Enea is heartbroken about leaving his family, but is determined to figure out how to have it all—both a life on his own terms and his family’s acceptance. While bounty hunting on his own to support himself, he’s unexpectedly recruited by Kuben Blisk for the Apex Games—the perfect playground to flex his skills and have fun at the same time. In his heart, Enea hopes that the publicity will help him gain the respect of his family.

RECON WITH ITALIAN FLAIR
Sparrow is a very agile Legend who can utilize his double jump Passive to get to vantage points quickly, then he’s able to make full use of his Tactical and Ultimate abilities. With his Tactical, you’ll gain knowledge of the battlefield by selecting clever spots. We recommend utilizing these as traps to cover your flank, choke points, or more actively to track a known target. His Ultimate will help your squad control a large area, flushing enemies from cover or denying a potentially fatal push.

PASSIVE: DOUBLE JUMP

Press jump while in the air to jump again. You can also press jump while climbing to launch Sparrow up walls to gain height quickly. He can also carry additional arrows and explosive arrows for the Bocek.

TACTICAL: TRACKER DART
Shoot a tracker from your gauntlet to reveal enemies who walk within its line of sight. Tracker darts can be placed on most surfaces, and enemies will be revealed by a trail that can be seen through walls. If any enemy is over 40 meters away there will be a distance marker over their head. These darts can also be used to activate Survey Beacons from afar.

ULTIMATE: STINGER BOLT

Shoot a large arrow that anchors where it lands. Once charged up, it will damage anyone within its range, causing damage and slowing any opponent it hits. Getting behind cover, leaving the zone, or shooting the arrow are the options enemies have when they find themselves caught in Sparrow's ultimate.

LEGEND UPGRADES
Upgrades Level 2
  • Extra Traps: Gain an additional Tac charge and +2 traps in world
  • Hunt Target: Sparrow gets a speed boost when running towards a marked enemy

Upgrades Level 3
  • Alternate Mode: Ult now has 3 charges that fire fewer pulses in a smaller radius
  • Life Siphon: Sparrow's health and shields are recovered if enemies are damaged by his Ult
LAUNCH CHALLENGES
Step into Sparrow’s shoes for yourself while he’s unlocked for all from May 6-20, 2025. Launch Challenges will take place in two batches over the first four weeks of the season with tests to your Legend ability, weapon flexibility, and damage capability.

  • First round: May 6-20, 2025 PT
  • Permanently unlock Sparrow & earn additional rewards
  • Legend and Weapon challenges
  • Second round: May 20-June 3, 2025 PT
  • Legend and Damage challenges

GET THE LOOK

Bad news, Titanfall fans: EA's latest staff cull has killed an unannounced Titanfall-themed extraction shooter that was in development at Respawn

EA is back at it again, laying off hundreds of staff across the company including roughly 100 at Respawn Entertainment. On top of these cuts, the publisher has cancelled some in-development projects, including what was reportedly going to be a new Titanfall game.

Respawn reportedly lay off staff across Apex Legends and Star Wars Jedi teams, cancel two incubation projects

Update: Bloomberg's Jason Schreier has since reported that between 300 and 400 positions have been "eliminated" across EA, including around 100 at EA. One of the cancelled incubation projects was also apparently an extraction shooter set in the Titanfall universe.



Apex Legends developer Respawn Entertainment have announced that two of its incubation projects have been cancelled, leading to what it calls a number of "target team adjustments across Apex Legends and Star Wars Jedi." You may notice that this language is particularly obtuse, in that it doesn't refer to these adjustments as layoffs. However, according to a report from IGN, layoffs have occurred, though just how many is currently unknown.
