Looking to dominate the Apex Games with a brand new Legend? Well, whispers around the Outlands suggest a new contender codenamed Artemis might be joining the fray in Season 23. While Respawn hasn't officially revealed anything yet, data miners and lore enthusiasts have been busy piecing together clues, and the rumors are getting interesting.
A Legend Code Name Rooted in Myth
The name Artemis itself hints at the potential abilities of this upcoming Legend. In Greek mythology, Artemis is the goddess of the hunt, wild animals, and the wilderness. This connection has led many to speculate that Artemis might be a Recon Legend with abilities focused on animal companions or wielding a powerful bow and arrow.
Imagine coordinating flanking maneuvers with a pack of Prowlers or using a special scope to track enemy movement across the map – the possibilities for a wildlife-oriented Legend are exciting.
Is Artemis Actually Vantage's Mother?
The rumors don't stop there. Eagle-eyed fans of the Apex Legends lore believe Artemis could be Xenia Contreras, also known as Prisoner T-0323. In the game's backstory, Xenia, Vantage's mother, was wrongfully imprisoned for treason during the Outlands Civil War while pregnant with Vantage (Xiomara "Mara" Contreras). Sentenced to life on a detention ship that crash-landed on Pagos, Xenia raised her daughter there, fostering Vantage's exceptional sniping skills.
With such a compelling backstory, it would be a great twist to see Xenia emerge from the shadows and claim her place in the Apex Games, perhaps seeking revenge for her past or a way to reunite with her daughter.
When Can We Expect to See Artemis in Action?
While Season 22 arrives in August 2024, there's no official date for Season 23 yet. Following the usual cadence, it should launch sometime in November. This wait gives data miners a chance to dig up more information about Artemis' abilities and potential lore connections.
