The world of Apex Legends is set to expand once again as the popular battle royale game introduces its latest playable character - Ballistic, a former champion of the Thunderdome Games. Fans have eagerly awaited the arrival of this new legend, who promises to bring a fresh dynamic to the game.

In line with the current tradition, Ballistic - whose real name is August Montgomery Brinkman - is introduced in a new episode of Respawn's Stories from the Outlands. We first see him walking alone through his extravagant home before he reminisces about his Thunderdome career, which ended in a sad turn of events with the death of his teammate and brother-in-law.

Following that, Ballistic turned into a hermit, ignoring his family until they eventually decided to leave him. At this point, Respawn's cinematic transitions back to the present time, when both Ballistic and the audience discover that his son, Nathaniel, has just qualified for the Apex Games.

Apex Legends has continuously added new characters to its roster, keeping the gameplay fresh and exciting for its players. With the introduction of Ballistic, fans can look forward to a new combatant who has already proven their worth in the Thunderdome Games. As anticipation builds for the official reveal, the Apex Legends community eagerly awaits the arrival of this new legend and the thrilling gameplay opportunities that Ballistic will bring to the table.
