Season 12 of Apex Legends is about to get wild, or at least it will if the newest hero is any indication.
Any long-time Apex Legends fan will recognize Mad Maggie as Fuse’s childhood friend first introduced in Season 8. Like Ash in the previous season, Mad Maggie goes from a non-playable character to the roster’s latest addition. She appears to be a freedom fighter, liberating as much of her home planet of Salvo from tyranny as possible. Be it through stealing supplies to give to the poor or just quietly dealing with local warlords — a real Robin Hood-type.
In the new cinematic, Stories from the Outlands – Judgment, we learn how maggie came to be in the Apex games. Check it out for yourself below; there’s also a high-quality YouTube Mirror here.

Anyone keen on trying out Mad Maggie will be happy to know that Apex Legends Season 12: Defiance releases Feb. 8, 2022, for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
Also coming in Season 12 is Control, a new 9v9 Limited Time Mode where everybody selects their loadouts and holds capture points. Sort of like Halo Infinite, except about 10 times as fast and chaotic. Hopefully, we’ll hear more about that alleged PS5 and Xbox Series X|S update soon too.
