Apex Legends: All leaked legends and their abilities

Calum Patterson
Respawn Entertainment

There are now a total of 24 Legends to play in Apex – 16 more than the game released with. But Respawn still plans for many more Legends to come with each new season. These are all the leaked Legends we know about right now, and the scrapped ones too.

Many of the current Legends in the game appeared in leaks before they were official, as data miners and insiders get the early scoop. Ballistic for example released in Season 17, relatively unchanged from the leak.

However, it’s also worth noting that with any leaks, things often change dramatically in development, and many characters have been scrapped entirely, as you can see from the scrapped characters section below.

We’ve compiled a list of all the potentially upcoming Legends that have been leaked so far, along with their abilities.  However, bear in mind that nothing has been confirmed yet, so take everything with a grain of salt.

All Apex Legends leaks should be taken with a pinch of salt.

Leaked Legends for Apex

Based on the most recent Apex Legends leaks, the following Legends are in development for future release. Again, there are no guarantees that these Legends ever make it into the game, or could be significantly reworked.

Scrapped Legends

As the following Legends were not seen on the most recent leaked images of unreleased Legends, it’s possible that they have now been scrapped. However, they were seen in previous leaks, so can’t be ruled out entirely.
