Season 5 of Apex Legends is nearly upon us, bringing with it a load of exclusive content and features that will surely change the game. Of course, like previous Seasons, one of the most interesting elements of Season 5 is its new Legend, Loba.
The official website for Apex Legends states, “Stylish, sophisticated, and resourceful, whatever Loba wants, she takes. Good luck stopping her.”
The Stories from the Outlands trailer for Loba can be seen below.
Titled “Legacy of a Thief,” the Stories from the Outlands trailer presents Loba as a legendary thief of sorts.
The trailer starts by showing Loba as a small child. She states that her world was “shattered that day,” as she kneels before the fallen silhouette of somebody that was presumably close to her. She then says that her path was a “fog of unknowns.”
Allegedly, the tragedy had been covered up by “the system.”
She is then shown to be living with a family, albeit illustrated as generic silhouettes, which likely represents that they were either a family she was given to after the tragedy.
Loba then turned to a life of crime as a highly-skilled thief who would steal valuable items.
Throughout the trailer, Loba is shown to be an agile Legend, using melee weapons when defending herself from enemies. Although, it is worth noting that an image of Loba on Apex Legends’ website shows her with a pistol as well.
Near the end of the trailer, Loba is about to go to bed when she is told by a companion that he found “him.” When Loba asks for clarification, her companion reiterates his discovery, which is then followed by a large image of Revenant.
The trailer concludes when Loba tightens her expressions and appears angry or vengeful.
It might be theorized that Revenant was behind the death of her loved one at a young age. However, there could also be a mysterious conflict between that Loba needs to resolve, thus leading her into the battlefield.
Revenant was Season 4’s Legend, so it makes sense that Revenant’s entrance onto the Apex Legends scene would be swiftly followed by Loba given the apparent dispute between the two.
Regardless, Loba looks like a very interesting Legend. While her full loadout isn’t currently known, it appears as if she’ll be a swift attacker on the battlefield whose main strength could well be agility given her background as a thief.
Season 5 of Apex Legends will be launching on May 12.
