The Outlands are moving fast with a new Legend on the horizon, a major hardware ban, and a real-world crossover with Bandai Namco. Here is everything you need to know about the latest Apex Legends updates.
New Legend: Overdrive (Season 29)
Dialogue files for the upcoming Season 29 Legend, codenamed Overdrive, have surfaced. The character is expected to be a Skirmisher and likely hails from Germany, as hinted by several leaked voice lines:
- “Alles oder nichts” (All or nothing)
- “Feierabend” (End of the work day)
- “Gut” (Good)
We’re starting to think that Overdrive was supposed to be released season 28, since she has voice lines for the new Apex Legends x Gundam collab!
Hardware cheating crackdown
Respawn has officially declared war on hardware-based cheats. Effective immediately, players caught using the following devices to gain an unfair advantage (such as automated recoil control or spoofing aim assist) will face permanent bans:
- Cronus
- XIM
- Strikepacks
Apex x Gundam: Limited Gunpla models
Bandai Namco is bringing the Gundam collaboration to your shelf with three Real Grade (RG) 1/144 scale model kits. Pre-orders begin March 18 on Premium Bandai and the Apex Shop:

FAQ: New Legend Overdrive leaks & Store update
Is Overdrive definitely the next Legend?
While dialogue files are usually a lock, Respawn hasn’t officially confirmed her. She is currently slated for the Season 29 launch.
Can I get banned for using a controller on PC?
No. Bans are specifically targeting third-party hardware like Cronus or XIM that manipulate inputs to provide an unfair mechanical advantage.
Are the Gundam Gunpla kits pre-built?
No. These are Real Grade (RG) model kits, meaning they require assembly. They are highly detailed and designed for collectors.
