While we still don’t know the theme like the deployment date of the Season 12 of Apex Legends, certain elements offer us strong indications on these subjects. One of the new mini-events visible in game since this Saturday, January 22, 2022 is one of these clues, and you have to look up to see it! For its part, the official website of Electronic Arts also offers a small preview of the next season in its most remote files…
ship crash
Since Saturday, January 22, 2022, therefore, a new event has occurred during games in the Battle Royale mode of Apex Legends. From time to time, you can indeed see a mysterious ship twirling in the skies of the Storm Zone… before crashing on the beach north of the arena!
Of course, as such this ship has no interest; But with a little bit of notions of the history of the game, we quickly discover that the observable logo on the aircraft is none other than that of the planet Salvo. The planet Salvo is, for those who do not know it, the planet of origin of Fuse, already available in Apex Legends, but also of Maggie, the childhood friend of the king of explosives.
Mad Maggie: future Apex legend?
“Mad” Maggie is a childhood friend of Fuse. While they lived on the planet Salvo, it was the explosives expert that we all know who finally chose to participate in the Apex games organized by the Syndicate. In the cutscene dedicated to Fuse, we thus discover that Maggie would have taken this announcement very badly, even going so far as to see it as a betrayal on the part of her friend. Fuse’s departure was thus made in a great fracas between the two former friends, causing in the process the loss of Fuse’s arm after a violent argument with Maggie.
The famous dataminer Kralrindo had discovered in December 2021 that a certain “Mad Maggie” had animations in the game files, as well as all the characters already present (and others who could be coming soon if the theory turns out to be correct) . Emotes had also been discovered by this same dataminer and were also linked to this Maggie.
On Friday January 20, the leaker Shrugtal had announced on Twitter that a fight between two combat ships, one from Salvo the other from Syndicate, should take place from 7:00 p.m. (Paris time) the next day. An event that actually took place, since that is the subject of this article!
Finally, it is in a tweet published on January 24, 2022 that KralRindo announced that he had discovered several elements related to Season 12 in the files of the official site of Electronic Arts. We discover not only the logo of this new season, but also the name of its Battle Pass “Defiance” and … the welcome image of Season 12 on which this dear Maggie appears.
It should also be noted that this supposed new character to come seems to have a metallic “whip” as well as an energy shield. We still don’t know anything (or very little) about Mad Maggie’s skills.
