EAs battle royale is getting a new playable character next month, with the first clear look at the oft-teased Crypto.
Respawn has made it official (even though we all knew) that a new addition is coming to the start of Apex Legends season 3 on 1 October. The stylish hacker Crypto was previously teased by a cameo in the game and has been known about for ages thanks to dataminers.
Cool, calm and collected, reads his descripition on the Apex Legends website, which describes him as using specialised surveillance drones to stay in the fight and out of the spotlight.
Although its not spelled out exactly, it sounds like hes going to be a support type character – perhaps something along the same lines as Bloodhound.

Get the first details and prepare for more reveals before Meltdown begins! https://t.co/bZl59HS6d3 pic.twitter.com/k2tjZmIp17
