Apex Legends Season 12 Launch Trailer Sees Maggie Blamed For Olympus Falling Out Of The Sky
Respawn has released the cinematic launch trailer for Apex Legends Season 12. The trailer showcases Mad Maggie's introduction to the Apex Games, while also teasing her abilities, changes to Olympus, and a sinister plot cooked up by Duardo Silva (Octane's dad).

What we see in the trailer sort of lines up with the abilities for one of the datamined Apex Legends characters. Referred to as «Downfall,» this supposed
