Respawn Entertainment has confirmed that the Revenant rework will finally be coming to Apex Legends next week.
Season 18 is officially dropping August 8, in just a couple of days time, and instead of a brand new character, we'll instead be getting an updated Revenant, now known as Revenant Reborn. While plenty of characters typically get reworks without much in-game explanation, Revenant Reborn's actually comes with a bit of lore. "Suddenly, Revenant experiences a change—he starts to glitch," Respawn shared on the game's official site. "Everything is out of his control. In the middle of a match, he loses his abilities only to discover they've been replaced with new ones. Someone, somewhere, has launched a new protocol."
"Revenant launched in season 4 but his play style hasn’t been keeping up with the gameplay," character designer Evan Funnel said (via Polygon). "A lot of his patterns have become problematic over time." In turn, Revenant now also has a new skin, and new abilities.
