Apex Legends' new character is a familiar face from Titanfall 2Ash the simulacrum enters the arena herself
Ash the simulacrum enters the arena herself
Apex Legendsis adding a second spooky murderbot to its roster, one that both Apex andTitanfall 2fans might recognise. Ash is a simulacrum (human consciousness in a freaky robot) who was previously a baddie in Titanfall 2. Since May this year, she’s been overseeing Apex’s new 3v3 Arenas mode - you know, that ominous voice that tells you to crush your enemies. But in the battle royale’s next season, Escape, she’ll be joining the fight herself.

Apex Legends | Stories from the Outlands - “Ashes to Ash”
The video shows Reid’s transformation into Ash, after some sort of sneaky operation to steal info from a lab goes wrong. Reid ends up with a knife in her chest, and the only way to save her is to become a simulacrum. From there she ends up as a titan pilot who gets crushed in Titanfall 2’s campaign, then sometime after is rebuilt for the Apex Games.
She’s had a complicated life that only seems to be getting worse, because Ash has taken on a mind of her own, while Dr Reid struggles to take control. Horizon doesn’t seem too thrilled about it either, judging fromthe recent comicsRespawn used to tease Ash’s arrival (those are well worth a read if you’re into Apex’s story stuff).
There’s no word on what Ash’s abilities will be just yet, but hey, she’s a spooky murderbot, perhaps she’ll have similar skills tothe spookier murderbot Revenant.
Ash will arrive in Apex Legends' next season, Escape, along with the CAR SMG (which is also fromTitanfall). The new season will be revealed proper on Thursday the 21st of October, and will launch on November 2nd.
