The Apex Legends Season 14 start date looms and Respawn Entertainment has been getting stuck in detailing exactly what players can expect from Catalyst and her abilities come the Eclipse update. We know Apex Legends wants Catalyst to appeal to every playstyle, but will she appeal to everyone's platform? Discussing Catalyst during a pre-season press event, narrative lead Ashley Reed shared that she's "one of the most VFX intensive legends" in Apex Legends right now.
But, if you're worried about whether this will impact performance - and whether your console or PC can handle it - don't be. Framed as something of a "technical feat" by Reed, Apex Legends' VFX team made certain that everything would work just as smoothly as usual when it comes to Catalyst.
Funnily, Reed did reveal that the "amazing VFX team... were worried when [Respawn Entertainment] showed them the Catalyst concept and described how she worked". However, "the VFX team really loved the concept and were onboard right away once they saw what they could do with [Catalyst's ferrofluid]".
