True resurrection: Revenant is Apex Legends’ most popular new character in almost 2 years

Apex Legends always sees a pick-rate boom for its newest character at the beginning of a fresh season. But season 18 looks like the game’s most successful character release in almost two years—and the character isn’t even technically new.

Revenant’s resurrection is the talk of the town, and a week after season 18’s release on Aug. 8, it’s clear that Respawn’s first full character rework is a huge success. According to Apex Legends Status (ALS), Revenant’s pick rate has skyrocketed to 16.4 percent, going from one of the game’s least-chosen characters to the top of the charts, almost doubling the pick rate of Octane in second.
