Apex Legends Theories on 'Forge', the Newest Legend

Apex Legends' newest character Forge took everyone by surprise but is Respawn planning something bigger for the launch of Season 4? We look at some theories that may suggest what Forge & Hammond are actually up to.

If you play Apex Legends then you most likely keep up to date with information on the game. You probably also thought Revenant was the next legend to debut in Season 4. Don’t worry so did many other players as well. Revenant was first introduced in the Halloween event during Season 3. This led many to believe he would be getting the Crypto debut treatment but oh how Respawn pulled a fast one on us. A new legend that no one heard of known as Forge was data-mined shortly after the Halloween event. Now Forge is the newest legend to come to the Apex Games but why? After so many files were added to the game for Revenant why is Forge making his debut first? Well here are some good fan theories about the newest legend ‘Forge‘.

Shrugtal’s Theory

Dr. Hammond is 600 years old location unknown. He is described as the exact opposite of a humanitarian. Hammond’s son is working on synthetic biology, the company makes simulacrums… The spooky end frame… This is all lining up a bit too well. Is Revenant Dr. Hammond?

Is Revenant Dr. Hammond? Or was Revenant created by Hammond Industries? Does he hate them for it? What’s with a brawler legend in a FPS? Is Forge a fakeout? Is this a double blind? We saw a banner frame for Revenant! What about the Forge Weapon Charm? Too many questions!! pic.twitter.com/mFbjaabKuh

Hammond Robotics is manufacturing consent with Forge, creating a fake legend to distract from them using all their money to buy land in the arena and the sinister Revenant in the shadows with his media interviews and flashy appearance. don’t be sheeple wake up and see the truth.

Forge might be just a cover up for Hammond to get Revenant into the Apex Games. from r/ApexLore

Pretty sure @Shrugtal is right about that light in the sky being a Harvester. They were reportedly used by both sides in Titanfall 2 and are used to extract minerals from a planet. Interesting. pic.twitter.com/ftcjQnW4YL

Most of these theories are very similar to each other. Whether we do get one legend or both will remain to be seen when Season 4 launches. What do you think about the newest legend Forge? Do you think he is a coverup to something bigger happening in the Apex Games? Is he just a ploy for Revenant to come in and introduce other big-name legends like Blisk? For now, all we can do is wait and see.
