Apex Legends Season 11 Ash
Apex Legends Season 11 will bring an Apex Legends new character - Ash is her name! We've known this for a while thanks to all the Apex Legends Season 11 leaks, but now all the information about Ash is official.
She's been described by the developers like so: "A simulacrum made from the woman who once was Dr. Ashleigh Reid, Ash detects death wherever she goes, spearing enemies with electric snares that lock them in place, tearing through space to take more lives. It would be easy to think that there was nothing human left within that cold steel."
As for Ash's abilities, this is what she'll have in store:
Passive: Marked for Death
All deathbox locations are revealed and you click on one to mark surviving attackers.
Tactical: Arc Snare
A slow-moving snare of charged electricity that tethers people and inflicts damage on those nearby.
Ultimate: Phase Breach
Opens a one-way portal to a targeted location and head there instantly.
In the Stories from the Outlands video below, you can take a look at Ash's backstory...

Apex Legends Season 11 new map
"Storm Point looks enticing, but the pristine beaches and crystal waters are just the eye of the hurricane." So says the official description of Storm Point, the new Apex Legends map for Season 11.
The description continues: "Teeming with wild Prowlers and a new kind of enemy swarm, venomous spiders, the gathering storms only add to the tension in the air. Legends have arrived and will find new ways to travel across the map’s diverse POIs which include island clusters, jungle compounds and a base embedded within a giant mountain marking the highest location in any Apex Legends map to date."
