On October 14, a new episode of “Stories from the Outlands” was released on YouTube. This animated series, which provides elements of the game universe developed by Respawn Entertainment, first introduced Catalyst. And the dialogue hints that the character will be Apex Legends’ first transgender hero.

In the past, Apex Legends has already featured gay, lesbian or bisexual characters in its previous seasons, Gamespot recalls. However, the themes of transidentity and transition have never before been addressed in the game.

A new video dedicated to the next season of Apex Legends will be uploaded on October 20. It should detail the news that is expected in the game from November 1. As for the new character, early information leaks indicate that Catalyst (her “real” name from her Tressa Smith) will be defense-oriented with the ability to reinforce doors and erect walls or build structures.
