Who’s actually the next legend?

Forge is pretty confident about his skills and dares any of the other legends to “bring the fight up close and personal.” Alright, here’s your chance to watch it before I tell you what happens. Have at it.

For a minute there, it seemed like Respawn had gotten the better of players for season 4. They announced Forge, the hulky brawling character as the next legend, despite players totally expecting to see the long-leaked robot character Revenant. However, as Imogen reported last week, Forge’s appearance was pretty fishy andit seemed like Revenant was hidingin the background.
Players re-circulated an oldleaked development sheetshowing future characters and pointing out that Forge isn’t one of them. That’s not hard proof, but it looks like they were onto something. Revenant was absolutely hiding in the shadows. So if Revenant takes out Forge, is the red robot the real new legend for season 4? Or are Respawn adding both?
Polygon have noticedthat Forge’s headshot on the official Apex website has been greyed out and his name has been changed to “RIP Jimie ‘Forge’ Mccormick” with the description “Never defeated (except for that one time).” Sounds like his prospects for the season aren’t so hot.
We’ll find out for sure shortly whenApex Legends season 4begins on February 4th.
