Apex Legends continues to bring in new playable additions to its roster, but fans looking for changes to the game's current options are in luck, as one older Legend will be getting an upgrade!

Legacy will debut an all-new Legend named Valkyrie, a new 3v3 mode called Arenas, updates to the Olympus map, and several other changes, as well. It's impossible to say whether or not Pathfinder's new ability will accompany the rest of these changes, but fans will find out when Legacy launches on May 4th.

It remains to be seen whether or not the character's new passive ability will be embraced by Apex Legends players, but Respawn is constantly working to make the gam

Apex Legends is currently available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Nintendo Switch.
