Leaks claim Season 21 will feature a brand-new Legend in the form of Altar. According to dataminer Osvaldatore, Alter is on their way to the battle royale.

As always, it's important to take leaks with a pinch of salt until Respawn decides to share more information.

If the leaks are accurate, Alter could be an interesting addition to the Legend pool. We'll have to wait until Season 21 kicks off to see if the new Legend can make an impact on the existing meta.
