UPDATE: While Valk leaked in the run-up to Season 7, it appears she'll actually be arriving in Apex Legends Season 9 and will likely be included in Apex Legends mobile beta tests when they begin rolling out.
"Daughter of famed Titan Pilot Viper, Valkyrie inherited her father’s love of flight, but not his sense of duty. In a heated moment with Blisk - where he speaks to “little Viper” (Valkyrie) with respect, challenging her to be better. With Valkyrie joining the arena, keep your eyes open for more Apex Legends news this week," a press release explains.

With Season 6 now live across all platforms, players are cracking the code of Apex Legends to find what secrets about the future of the game are being kept from players.
One legend that has popped up in the past is the mysterious character 'Valk' first appearing back in October 2020.

In a past image from Respawn, it shows past legends that have already released and potential future characters.
Rampart was in "design alpha" together with Valk - likely meaning that Valk is next to arrive in Apex.
Abilities
- Tactical - Cluster Missile: Fire a rocket that explodes multiple times.
- Passive - VTOL Jets: Hold jump to initiate VTOL Jets - allows hovering in the air.
- Ultimate - Skyward: Press once to prepare for launch. Teammates can interact with Valk to join the launch. Press again to launch into the air and skydive.
It's believed that the VTOL Jets are inspired by the Hover and VTOL Hover abilities in Titanfall 2, which allow Pilots and Titans to hover in the air, respectively.
An older datamining attempt uncovered an ability called Afterburners which, after the initial drop, allowed Valk and her team to skydive faster.
Valk Release Date
It's possible Valk may release as part of Apex Legends Season 9, if a new tease in the latest Apex Legends trailer is anything to go by.
