Apex LegendsThe next newest character is an elderly man: Ballistic, who is described in the hero shooter Battle Royale as a “disgraced legend” from a pre-Apex Games era. Now he’s back to settle some very old scores.
Ballistic, real name August Montgomery Brinkman, is a 63-year-old fighter whose gaming career dates back to the Thunderdome games, the canonical predecessor of the Apex games. Ballistic was revealed in a nearly five-minute teaser trailer that Respawn released to dataminers on Monday all their plans for season 17. This new season launches as planned on May 9th on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One and Xbox Series X.
In the video we learn that Ballistic was a star at the Thunderdome Games. Now he joins the current promotion to save his son from dying in the arena. Apex LegendsThe current season started in February without a new hero, but the game reclassified the 23 existing heroes into one of five new categories: Attack, Skirmisher, Recon, Support, and Controller. Ballistic is an Assault character.
