Apex Legends Introduces A New Trans Woman Legend

Apex Legends recently announced that their new Legend, Catalyst, will be a trans woman named Tressa Smith.

The new defensive Legend can manipulate ferrofluid according to her will. Catalyst will become playable on November 1, with the Launch of Eclipse.

Major Takeaways:

• Apex Legends introduces a new trans woman Legend, Catalyst.
• Catalyst will become available with the upcoming Eclipse update.
• Eclipse launch trailer will be released on October 20.
• Eclipse will also introduce a gifting feature.
• Eclipse will be released on November 1.

Apex Legends released a new “Story from the Outlands” trailer called “Last Hope,”  which reveals Catalyst’s backstory.

The SFTO trailer also revealed that the full launch trailer of Eclipse will come out on October 20.

The new trans woman character is the latest addition to the already diverse representation of the game.

The one thing that SFTO “Last Hope” didn’t reveal was how Catalyst received her powers. However, it could be linked to the explosion at the end of the trailer, but at this point, it is just speculation.

We might get to see more about the character in the upcoming launch trailer for the next season, Eclipse. The Eclipse launch trailer will also give insight into the new map of the season, which is said to be based on Boreas.

EA also announced that the new update coming on November 1, 2022, will also include the gifting feature. The gifting feature will come with some requirements, like having a minimum of account level 10 and turning your login verification on.

The gifting feature will allow you to use your Apex Coins to trade for single skins to full bundles that can be gifted to anyone you’ve been friends with in the game for at least two weeks.

You’ll be allowed to send out gifts five times in 24 hours. Platforms don’t restrict the gifting system. You can give gifts to anyone regardless of what platform they play on, provided that you do fulfill all the other conditions.
