If Reddit is to be believed – a very big if – it would seem Apex Legends has really lost the element of surprise. Over the past few weeks several datamines have dug up information on the game, the most recent including images of an upcoming L-Star weapon and character models of 10 supposedly upcoming legends.
According to Respawn, however, players should not treat any of this information “as a source of truth”.
“There’s stuff in there that is very old, or things we’ve tried in the past and cut – remember our design process is to prototype and play lots of ideas – and some of it may be things we’re still building for Apex Legends,” Respawn’s community manager stated on Reddit.
