A few days ago we introduced you to Newcastlethe character that will be added to Apex Legends with the arrival of the Saviors update, and it’s time to learn more about him, his story and the abilities he will use on the battlefield.
What is the history of Newcastle?
In his introduction trailer we learn that “the superhero of Harris Valley” is actually Jackson Williams, the brother of Bangalore. He was believed missing during a mission in which he was a pilot for the IMC.
Thanks to the most recent ‘Story of the Wild Lands’ we learn that Jackson changed his identity and started a family. But the original Newcastle got into serious trouble and Bangalore’s brother must adopt his identity and take part in the games to save the community from him.
