Hold up, battle royale fans. Apex Legends' next playable character has been revealed and her name is Catalyst. We know Respawn Entertainment has created one of the best battle royale games out there, but it feels as though it is continually raising the bar with each new addition to the roster. Catalyst is Apex Legends' first trans character and she's coming for Gibraltar's crown as king of the defensive legends. No disrespect to Newcastle, of course.
Described as an "experienced terraformer and defensive conjurer" by Respawn Entertainment here, Catalyst was a hero long before she found herself with the ability to "manipulate the battlefield" with ferrofluid. However, an explosive accident caused by her over-zealous anti-Hammond Robotics activist friend has left her with a strange new power that we can't wait to see in action.
In the latest Stories from the Outlands short, titled Last Hope, we see Catalyst trying to find out what happened to the aforementioned friend in a conversation with Rampart. While it is a wonderfully emotive way to introduce the character to Apex Legends' rich universe, we still don't know what exactly she's capable of in-game.
