The source claims that Octane's leak is legitimate and indicates the release date of Battle Pass

Anonymous source

A source (who prefers to remain anonymous) said in an interview with Daily Esports that recent leaks hinting at a new Apex Legends hero named "Octane" are legitimate.

A recent leak on Reddit gave players a first glimpse of the legend. The poster claimed to have taken a picture of the character off the screen of a person working on the project. This immediately fueled a heated debate over the legitimacy of the rumors, many believing that there was not enough information to prove that he was a real character.

The controversial photo that was published on Reddit can be seen here.

A source close to the situation has now reaffirmed that the leaks are legitimate and provided us with a first look to the original character model Octane.

In addition, our source said they trusted a March 12, date of release of the first Battle Pass of the game. "The Battle Pass will not be buyable with coins and will be a static object in the shop," they added.

The source also states that Octane is a key player in promoting the pass and that it "should be published along the battle path or just before this one."

The source had no other knowledge of the character or his skills, but a recent leak to Reddit could also have given insight into the character's skills. This image has been circulating ever since, although we can not guarantee its legitimacy.

We hope that the information provided to us is reliable. We will update this message with new information as it is released.
