Inside of The Mirage Voyage cabin, players can listen to an audio recording from Mirage’s mother. The message is fairly heartbreaking, as Mirage’s mother sounds tired and has a hard time recalling memories. It’s evident that Mirage’s mother is suffering from Alzheimer’s, but manages to recall a few of Mirage’s family members. His mother mentions Uncle Droz, who is a pilot from the 6-4 faction inTitanfall 2. Mirage’s mother also brings up Davis, who also appears inTitanfall 2and later forms The Last Resort faction along with Droz.
Along with The Mirage Voyage, Kings Canyon also has another ship flying high above the map with a billboard advertising that Salvo is joining the mercenary organizers of theApex Legendstournament called The Syndicate. This is possibly ateaser for Season 8where fans may learn more about Salvo, the mysterious planet mentioned in the Family Portrait Season 7 quest and in a memo in a piece of official artwork featuring Wattson’s office desk.
As players are jumping into Kings Canyon while Season 7 winds to a close, a couple leaks may have revealed what is in store for Season 8. A datamine has revealed hints thatFuse may be finally coming to theApex Legendsroster.
