Respawn have revealed that new Legend Ballistic will be arriving in Apex Legends in Season 17.

Apex Legends: Arsenal will be the next major content update for Apex Legends. Returning to form after the Season 16 shake-up, Season 17 will see a new Legend join the roster — Ballistic.

The new Legend's official description details just some of his backstory: "Under the name Ballistic, August Montgomery Brinkman was once the greatest competitor in the Thunderdome Games, but in the wake of a tragic loss of his brother-in-law, Ballistic retired and retreated into solitude. For 40 years, he remained in hiding until an unexpected event pulled him back in and forced him to make the Syndicate an offer it could not ignore."

Players can expect to see Ballistic join the Apex Games when Season 17, Arsenal, drops on May 9, 2023.

Respawn released a brand new "Stories from the Outlands" video revealing Ballistic, and the events which led to him joining the fight. Check out the trailer above.

More details for Apex Legends: Arsenal will be announced soon ahead of the update’s official launch on May 9 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC via EA Play and Steam.
