Who could receive the next Heirloom in Apex Legends? Possibilities explored

With the news of Bangalore's Heirloom recolor being made official, fans are wondering who might be the next candidate for a similar upgrade in Apex Legends. From the latest leaks, Newcastle might be the next hero to get a new Heirloom in the game. EA and Respawn previously stated that they would no longer be creating Legend-specific Heirlooms, but it seems like that is no longer the case.

With the debut of Apex Legends Season 22, we've already seen an Heirloom recolor, and further leaks indicate that a new Legend-specific Heirloom in Apex Legends is in the works.

NOTE: All the information mentioned below is based on leaks and speculation. Readers are advised to take it with a pinch of salt until officially confirmed.

When could the next Heirloom in Apex Legends Season 22 arrive?

As players step into Apex Legends Season 22, they will notice that the following Legends are yet to receive an Heirloom in the game:

1. Catalyst
2. Mad Maggie
3. Ballistic
4. Newcastle
5. Vantage
6. Conduit

While the initial wave of Heirlooms had been released sequentially, things have not been the same lately. The candidates for Heirlooms have been quite erratic, and with the introduction of the Cobalt Katar, we've not had teasers indicating the next candidate for an heirloom.

Luckily, the latest leaks from popular dataminer HYPERMYSTx indicate that an Heirloom in Apex Legends is in the works, and it is speculated that it is being crafted for Newcastle.

Previous leaks also indicated that a Newcastle Heirloom was in development. However, players believe the idea had been scrapped since the developer had stated that they would no longer be creating Legend-specific Heirlooms.

According to HYPERMYSTx, the Newcastle Heirloom will reportedly be sold at a Milestone Event. Leaks suggest that it will be similar to the Apex Legends Void Reckoning Milestone Event. However, unlike a reactive Havoc, the premium tier rewards for completing the event would be a Legendary Rarity Deathbox, and of course, the Newcastle Heirloom in Apex Legends.

We are yet to uncover a potential release date for the new Heirloom. According to us, it could either be released just before the mid-season update for Season 22 or right after it.
