A small green platform has appeared in Apex Legends’ Kings Canyon, and based on a simple response from a Respawn developer, it seems like this item is a tease for the upcoming new Legend.
Reddit user jetblacklab spotted the mysterious item right outside of Market. Upon stepping on the platform, the player is flung into the air. You can see this item in action in the video below:
The colors of the item match those of the supposed next Apex Legends character, Octane. An image of the character was found earlier this week in EA Origin’s servers. Though Respawn warned players to be cautious of the truth behind datamined information, they didn’t directly discredit the possibility that the next Legend could be Octane. Instead, a Respawn developer replied to jetblacklab’s thread with a smirking emoji leading us to believe that this new item could be Octane’s ultimate ability.
