After announcing possible map changes for Storm Point in Apex Legends Season 13, Respawn has apparently confirmed that Newcastle will be the next playable character to come to the battle royale. You can see the teaser by entering Control mode, which will remain a limited-time mode in Apex Legends until April 12.
If you enter Control mode regardless of the map, the loading screen will say “Waiting over, it's here!” will display the holographic signs advertising it. Next to this message is a blackened depiction of an armored figure.
Newcastle was first mentioned years ago when Respawn was advertising that Revenant would be Season 4's new playable legend.
We mentioned earlier that Newcastle will be the next playable character. He was featured in a giant Apex Legends leak along with eight other characters, and Williams Sendoff says he is Jackson Williams, brother of Newcastle's Bangalore.
In the leak in question, Newcastle is described as "Mobile Defender". Like Gibraltar and Caustic, it has a larger-than-average hitbox and Fortified perk. His abilities are as follows:
Passive: Retrieve the Injured – Drag fallen allies as you respawn and protect them with your resurrection shield
Tactics: Mobile Shield – Launch a launchable drone that creates a mobile energy shield
Ultimate: Fortress Wall – Jump to a target, ally or area, smash and create a fortress.
Depending on when Season 12 ends, Apex Legends Season 13 will likely start in mid-May, around May 10.
