Apex Legends Mobile developer Respawn Entertainment released the mobile game's third seasonal battle pass battle last week, but today, devs finally unveiled the upcoming season of Apex Mobile via the Apex Legends Mobile Season 3: Champions launch trailer. The trailer reveals that Season 3's debut legend is Ash, marking the first time Apex Legends Mobile has launched a new season without a new mobile-exclusive legend, instead opting to bring in another character from Apex on console and PC.

The trailer also depicts The Constellation, Fade's Signature Weapon. Signature Weapons are the mobile game's equivalent of Heirloom Weapons--purely cosmetic melee weapons that first debuted in the console and PC version of Apex. These weapons have a plethora of interesting inspection animations, and their unique appearance give gameplay a little more flavor and help players stand out from the crowd. Heirloom Weapons are aesthetic in nature and don't provide players with any sort of gameplay advantage, so the mobile game's Signature Weapons will likely function similarly. But Signature Weapons do differ from Heirloom Weapons in one way: It seems their appearance may change mid-battle.

Near the end of the trailer, Fade strikes Bloodhound down with The Constellation, which is effectively a set of Wolverine-esque claw-knuckles that appear to be made of the same void-enveloped material as Ash's sword and Wraith's Kunai knife. But moments later, Ash and her sword make a surprise appearance, narrowly missing Fade with her blade. As the trailer ends, we get a close-up shot of the legends' weapons about to clash as they charge into battle, and it's clear that Fade's Signature Weapon has transformed--the Wolverine claws have been replaced with a
