We’ve had leaks previously that revealed solo mode, new maps, and more were on the way but it looks like the likelihood of these features coming soon just got a whole lot higher because these were found directly within the latest update’s files. The biggest leak? Titans – that, and double jumping and wall-running could be making their debut over from the main Titanfall franchise.
Thanks to the team over at @RealApexLeaks, we’ve got our first look at a potential upcoming update:
LEAK: 2 new modes call Jumpkit and Wall Run have also been discovered.
I really don’t know what these do, but it definitely mentions these 2 abilities – Wall Run and Jumpkit.#ApexLegends #ApexLegendsBattleRoyale #ApexLegendsleaks pic.twitter.com/RmFwwyBPkN

LEAK: Okay, so I found this new mode. It has used the word “Titan” a lot in it’s class.
This is definitely a test mode for devs as max players and max teams are only 1. This is not cache from Titanfall as it was added just today.#ApexLegends #ApexLegendsleaks pic.twitter.com/WCHFDiWHqQ

This also ties into the new characters leak that occurred earlier this week that hinted at one of the abilities being the coveted wall run.
As for the official patch itself, is was pretty small but did tackle a crucial Mirage bug:
- Addresses issues with GPU hangs.
- Fixed crash when pressing button early in load process.
- Fixed issue where players would sometimes move slowly after revive.
- Fixed issue with Mirage Ability causing crashes.
