Apex Legends has just dropped a huge lore reveal, with its latest Stories from the Outlands introducing Ash as the game’s next playable hero, while also unravelling some mysteries about who the simulacrum really is.

Now Playing: Apex Legends – Ashes to Ash Stories from the Outlands
Ash, a character originally encountered in the Titanfall games, was first introduced to Apex Legends in a Season 5 story quest called The Broken Ghost, but her re-introduction as a major player in the upcoming Season 11 has been shown mostly through Twitter comics.
Casiello explained that the Apex team have come up against a number of limitations when it comes to integrating in-game story quests, including manpower, memory, and time.
The upcoming 11th season of Apex Legends is subtitled “Escape,” is expected to drop in November. Respawn will be releasing more information about the upcoming season in a new trailer, which will premiere on October 21.
