With the launch of Apex Legends' Season 18 patch, which introduces Revenant Reborn, balance adjustments, and more, the dataminers and leakers have been doing their usual investigative work, seeking clues for upcoming content.
Aware of this enthusiastic community, developer Respawn Entertainment decided to have a little fun and included a hidden message within the Season 18 update.
The revelation of this hidden text came from a screenshot shared by Apex Legends content creator, KralRindo, on Twitter. The text itself was straightforward, stating: “const string HI_DATAMINERS = “TOP SECRET DATA HERE ->” with an arrow directing to a link leading to Respawn's careers page.
Responses from the community were amusing, with one fan jokingly saying, “LOL, You got bamboozled,” while another suggested that Respawn was playfully challenging the dataminers.
Fellow leaker TheLeakyBot chimed in, humorously noting, "They just told us to get jobs."
Unfortunately, for those hoping to uncover genuine news about the future of Apex Legends from this "top secret data" hint, it turned out to be a troll, a playful nod to those who delve deep into the update files.
Fans eager to learn more about the contents of Season 18 likely won't have to wait too long, given Respawn's track record of regularly delivering new and exciting content. Until then, those who rely on datamines and leaks for early information will need to practice patience.
