Following his official reveal in the Saviors trailer, Apex Legends’ Newcastle gets more backstory around him in a new Stories from the Outland episode! Check out the new episode below, which shows what his circumstances are for joining the fray.

Today, EA and Respawn released the latest “Stories from the Outlands” trailer, giving fans a closer look at the newest Legend, Newcastle. In true heroic fashion, Newcastle has defended his small town for years and now will need to prove himself in the Apex Games in order to continue to keep his community safe. Newcastle is left with one shot—if he wins, he can finally pay off Harris Valley’s debts, but if he fails, his town will burn. 

It’s good to finally get some lore behind the Legend, as Newcastle himself was a big part of the recent Apex Legends leak which shed details on tons of new Legends coming to the game in the future. Here are some of the details as per the leak:

Newcastle (defense) “Mobile defender”, Fortified, abilities: Retrieve the wounded (passive) – you can carry your team mates, literally drag downed teammates as they being revived and protects them with revive shield (Call the police, we found who stole LL’s revive shield), Mobile shield (tactical) – throw controllable drone which creates a moving energy shield, Castle wall (ult) – “Leap and slam to a target ally or area and create a fortified stronghold” (basically jumps to location, slams the ground and go full Fortnite in one direction, creating a barricade). Note: Seems like Newcastle may be next Legends – he most finished out of all leaked roaster (model vise)

Newcastle arrives in Apex Legends via the Saviors update, coming to all platforms this May 10. Stay tuned here at MP1st for the complete patch notes once the update rolls out!
