Publisher Electronic Arts and Respawn Entertainment continue to prepare for the launch of the next season of Legacy in Apex Legends Battle Royale. First, the fans were introduced to the new legend in the short film “Nordstar”, then they presented a trailer and told the details about the 9th season. Now the developers have told in more detail about the newest heroine – Valkyrie.

“There is no one on the Frontier who is more worthy of his legacy than Kairi Imahara, call sign Valkyrie. The daughter of the famous pilot Titan, the Supreme Predator named Gyurza, intends to go her own way and write her name in history “, – tells us a voiceover in the trailer.

The heroine lost her father very early, but inherited from him a love of flying. She vowed to kill the one who sent her father to the slaughter – the leader of the faction, Cuben Blisk. But when the moment came to pull the trigger, she doubted: he spoke very respectfully of Gyurza. And he invited her to get better. The Valkyrie did not take his life, but instead accepted the invitation to the Apex Games.

Valkyrie uses her jetpack, made from the remains of her father’s Nordstar-class titanium, to fly over the battlefield for a limited time and attack enemies from above. The fuel supply is small, but it replenishes over time, so you need to use the opportunity wisely.

Valkyrie’s tactical ability is to fire a swarm of mini-missiles that not only deal area damage, but also disorient enemies. If the situation is too tense or you need to go on the offensive, you can use special skills, which allows her to quickly change deployment with a detachment or suddenly attack enemies.

Apex Legends recently passed the 100 million player mark. Season of Legacy kicks off on May 4th and will bring, in addition to Valkyrie, the permanent Arena mode, where Legends battle it out in 3v3 on five maps. With each round, you can accumulate and spend points to buy weapons, improve their elements, special skills, or purchase additional ammunition and equipment. In Arenas, you can use special and tactical skills a limited number of times per match.

In addition, a bow will appear in the game – a powerful and deadly weapon that can be made more efficiently by installing two improvements: Deadeye’s Tempo will allow you to shoot faster, and Shatter Caps will make arrows burst when fired. Also, the season will bring the infected Olympus map, a battle pass and a ranked mode.

Apex Legends is out on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and S, and Nintendo Switch.
