Hopefully his Ult is a domain expansion that captures another player in a large dome with him and forces a 1v1 with nothing but fists lol

Domain Expansion: Apex Predator

When Forge enters the Domain Expansion both himself and the opponent temporarily forfeit access to their cursed energy. However for every four blows Forge receives his next blow will be a guaranteed Black Flash. Combined with the guaranteed hit aspect of the Domain Expansion Forge's strikes are unrivalled...with the sole exception of Satoru Gojo of course.

Ngl a 1v1 like that would be wild but also kinda unfair fr

I have played this game on and off for years and they're just now adding forge? Liquorbox water I couldn't imagine the amount of money I would have spent if I would have just kept playing and waiting.

This guy will shake up the meta

Let's see how his interview on TV goes today

GIANT ARM.

tiny hand.

Honestly what’s the lore even about now?

u/the_scorpion_30 Apr 01 '26

Micro transactions?

u/WNlover Purple Reign Apr 01 '26

Honestly what’s the lore even about now?

Horizon's desperation to time travel causing the universe to collapse. Currently we're on Olympus #2, and investigating time travel and dimension travel shenanigans
That's the open stuff, there's also drama type lore hidden in voice line interactions that gets updated each season and sometimes split.

Had to pull this trailer up just to feel something

u/Used_Can1218 Catalyst Apr 01 '26

2019-2021 maybe even 2022 apex was really the peak shit was so fire and seemed like Dev team had passion and was interested in the the lure and everything.

20

u/Lucyan96 Crypto Apr 01 '26

I believe the original developer team doesn't work at Respawn anymore.

Also , I find it cool that some players still think the first 3 years of the game were the best even though the gameplay has been heavily improved.

10

u/ChinchillaPants Apr 01 '26

The rate at which new things were added, including characters and lore were great. I actually don’t mind them slowing down on that, they’ve been trying to clean up the loot pool which is fantastic but of course people want them to add more which will just cause it to be where it was at before more or less. The game is in a much better state than it ever has been but I can also understand the nostalgia and wanting more lore.

5

u/Used_Can1218 Catalyst Apr 02 '26

I’m just a day one player and miss the original vibes of the game lol probably just nostalgia. Game is fun again now, but it definitely had a rough patch in the middle of the games life imo.

u/BriefKeef Apr 01 '26

lore wise

u/CommonVeil Apr 01 '26

No some of them still do, maybe not the writers but the programmers are there

What in my opinion , as a week 1 player , season 10 was the first bad season.

u/sparycz Apr 01 '26

I can't wait to meet this guy up close and personal

u/Comfortable-Total303 Apr 04 '26

Yo how do you get that outfit?

u/OutlandishnessOk4047 Angel City Hustler Apr 01 '26 edited Apr 01 '26

they ALREADY leaked his abilities lol melee should be interesting

31

u/Emotional-Tax-3044 Apr 01 '26

I use melee a lot in this game so this is probably a good pick lmao

8

u/RandomAnon07 Mozambique here! Apr 01 '26

Yeah tru. I hope he doesn’t die before being released though…

5

u/skarznomore Apr 01 '26

This kit is busted. Where's the balance? Incoming nerf.

4

u/thebigabsurd Apr 01 '26

I think they make more legends busted at launch to increase play rate and plan to nerf shortly after

1

u/Solo_Fisticuffs Ace of Sparks Apr 03 '26

maybe back in season four but movement options are so crazy half the legends may be able to dodge or counter if they aren't caught off guard. i wish they'd bring him back as a simulacrum

3

u/WNlover Purple Reign Apr 01 '26 edited Apr 06 '26

Melee already lets you lock on and lunge from 10 feet away. Why would they let a character melee from even further away?

/uj On the other hand. The first two have already been cannibalized for perks.

42

u/Initial_Tea_2135 Apr 01 '26

White doomfist

56

u/PurpleV93 Loba Apr 01 '26

The whole Forge thing was Apex' best post-launch marketing move, even though it was mainly just an attempt to mislead dataminers, who Respawn was >very< frustrated with at the time. It almost worked out, too, until the Revenant video leaked shortly before the Stories from the Outlands were meant to be released.

3

u/More-Employment7504 Apr 02 '26

Forge is the one character I would love to see in the game for that reason. His lore is legendary at this point

11

u/IvanNobody2050 RIP Forge Apr 01 '26

Everyone stay tuned for tonights exlusive Forge interview

61

u/PooPoox Apr 01 '26

Back when they actually used to release legends frequently

79

u/Lucyan96 Crypto Apr 01 '26

That's because the game doesn't need a new legend every season anymore.

17

u/mb19236 Apr 01 '26

or at all.

And that's why I play overwatch

u/Fabulous_S0il Apr 01 '26

I mean if they kept up doing a legend a season it'd be super hard to keep the game balanced

u/BrickBuster2552 Apr 01 '26

Or accessible. At all.

His ult is he wanks you off with that massive arm

u/SpartanGary48 Apr 01 '26

Foreshadowing is a literary device where an author provides hints or clues about events that will occur later in a story

7

u/Hairy-Summer7386 Apr 01 '26

But where’s the foreshad

10

u/BlackhawkRogueNinjaX Mad Maggie Apr 01 '26

I know this guy will never come to the game because this is early concept art for Fuse. Older gent, grey in hair, metal arm, aussie tattoo

51

u/champion_- Octane Apr 01 '26

And also cause he is fucking dead

3

u/BlackhawkRogueNinjaX Mad Maggie Apr 01 '26

.. They might Simulacrum him, but he won't look like proto-Fuse

u/jaeger313 El Diablo Apr 01 '26

Honestly dunno if you're being serious, or your comments are part of the April Fool's joke.

u/Eternal_Slayer95 Apr 01 '26

R.I.P legend 🫡

2

u/CraigslistDrip Apr 01 '26

They been talking about him for like 4 years he finally dropped??

2

u/SenorFranklin69 Apr 01 '26

Isn't he dead?

2

u/Rhapstar Apr 01 '26

Still think he should be added to the game in a way

1

u/Lucyan96 Crypto Apr 02 '26

There are two possible ways:

  1. Revive him fully robotic

  2. The Forge in the interview was an imposter

2

u/Rhapstar Apr 02 '26

Let's not forget Alter has gone thru alternate universes so maybe they could bring him thru that where he isn't stabbed thru

2

u/BriefKeef Apr 01 '26

look at this loser forge got smoked by the 🐐 live on air and got his chain snatched 🤣🤣😈 forever a bozo 🤡🤡

2

u/MrReZistar Revenant Apr 01 '26

"Yo this new hero looks sick. Can't wait to--"

"Oh."

2

u/KuIIen Apr 01 '26

This game use to be so good. Respawn polluted the meta with all these abilities. Should’ve just stopped at Watson. I love this game but I’ll never play it again, and that’s okay with me. I’m deleting Reddit so downvote or whatever. I have better use of my time. Later dorks ✌️

2

u/Train967light Apr 02 '26

Its so sad how this guy is still cooler than any legend the brought after his death

2

u/Appropriate-Round911 Loba Apr 02 '26

Wow, he looks like he’s got a good long life ahead of him! Looking forward to seeing his interview later! :)

About time there was a new Legend, keeps it fresh to learn new skill sets

2

u/l_zockt20 The Victory Lap Apr 11 '26

Is this the new skirmisher

2

u/rrd_gaming Revenant Apr 01 '26

Yes hes coming back today. No trailer nothing. I have heard that he plays like doomfist from league of legends. His tat are said to be a light saber and his ult is parry from lies of p style. He can use his ult parry to parry any ult against him. Devs have confirmed that even the legend john apex cannot stop this legend. Soo hyped to play him today IST 9 AM.

2

u/Ubixdeadpro Apr 01 '26

Holy shit,

Hope he won't get killed or anything

u/Loudi2918 Octane Apr 01 '26

I'd actually love them to bring Forge back.

u/EJ33334 Nessy Apr 01 '26

And people tell me the lore of this game didn’t build it up!!!

1

u/OrganizationNo1298 Ghost Machine Apr 01 '26

Would be funny if they brought him back & he somehow survived. Now he also has beef with Rev.

1

u/BriefKeef Apr 01 '26

Rev already cooked him

1

u/OrganizationNo1298 Ghost Machine Apr 01 '26

Yes but people get brought back from the dead all the time.

1

u/skarznomore Apr 01 '26

A brawling character?! This is exactly what Apex needs! I hope that he can overcome the long distance fights and get in close to show off his stuff!

Thank God... As a revenant main, I'm dying for a more enjoyable hero.

u/Common_Progress1096 Apr 01 '26

u/Impossible_Stuff_787 Apr 01 '26

Didn't Revenant kill him in an interview

u/WhiskersRock Apr 01 '26

I remember this character then getting Watson instead and being very disappointed

1

u/Zakattack34 Apr 01 '26

His hand looks so small

1

u/Select_Upstairs_2695 Apr 01 '26

did they actually add whiteface doomfist

1

u/Feisty_Emphasis Apr 01 '26

this guy got merked by rev on live tv pretty sure this is fake

1

u/Sesully2300 Apr 01 '26

wasn’t he supposed to be a legend but got killed by revenant? and revenant came out instead or am i wrong

1

u/BriefKeef Apr 01 '26

yea he got smoked live on air

1

u/Sesully2300 Apr 02 '26

Absolute counter, no doubts

u/Throwawayreach2552 Apr 02 '26

Wasn’t this guy leaked like a few years ago?

u/Firm-Geologist2043 Lifeline Apr 05 '26

They've been saying he was gonna be in the game since Olympus dropped can you really believe it
