The game has introduced a lot of new characters from its initial release. Today, we will be talking about the newest release, Newcastle, and everything we know about him.

Newcastle

Newcastle is Bangalore’s supposed long-lost dead brother, Jackson. His reason for joining the Apex Games has not been made clear yet, but he was initially supposed to replace Bangalore, who was leaving to return to the rest of her family. We also know a lot about him thanks to the Gridiron Story from the Outlands that arrived in January.

An upcoming story from the Outlands is said to have confirmation about why Jackson, aka Newcastle, is joining up with his sister in the games.

From what we know so far, these are Jackson’s abilities:

• Passive: Retrieve The Wounded – Drags downed allies as he revives and protects them with his Revive Shield.
• Tactical: Mobile Shield – Throws a controllable drone that creates a moving energy shield.
• Ultimate: Castle Wall – Leaps and slams to a target ally or area and creates a fortified stronghold.

This trailer portrays Newcastle extremely well, along with the new update coming out soon.

Newcastle will be added to Apex Legends on May 10, 2022, which also happens to be the release date of Season 13.
