Crypto has been rumored to be Apex Legends’ next hero for a long time, and today Respawn confirmed they’ll be entering the tournament when the next season drops on October 1.
Respawn released a new Stories from the Outlands trailer today that sheds a little light on Crypto’s backstory. According to the video, Crypto was just your average, mild-mannered hacker who discovered some kind of match-rigging program developed for the Apex Legends tournament. When a mysterious organization catches onto Crypto, they hunt his friends and family down, forcing Crypto to go on the run.
You can watch the Crypto cinematic below.
While the video didn’t reveal how Crypto plays, he’s seen in the trailer as using some kind of drone to help escape from his pursuers. This drone could play into Crypto’s gameplay moveset in some way.
