Apex Legends Season 14 release date, trailer and new hero officially revealed

Electronic Arts has revealed details about Apex Legends Season 14 ahead of its arrival next month.

Titled ‘Hunted’ and set to launch on August 9, it will introduce Apex Legend’s latest hero, Vantage, who’s primarily a ranged character with a sniper rifle.

EA said: “Born to a wrongfully convicted criminal who gave birth to her alone on the barren ice planet Págos, Vantage has grown into the ultimate survivalist.

“Accompanied only by her small winged companion Echo and forced to live off a hostile land, Vantage becomes unfathomably good with a scoped weapon.”

Vantage’s announcement is not a surprise as the character previously appeared in a couple of leaks.

In March, over two years’ worth of new Apex Legends content was reportedly leaked from a development build. It seemingly revealed nine new Legends, the ‘Divided Moon’ map, plus fresh weapons and heirlooms.

And over the weekend, developer Respawn appeared to accidentally upload a Vantage video early, giving players a look at the character and some backstory.

Apex Legends Season 13, Saviors, launched in May. It introduced new Legend Newcastle, a major Storm Point map update and a reworked Ranked system, among other features.
