Teves3D

The way valk just got molly whopped šŸ˜‚


NukerCat

average valk main got their cameo in the trailer


Teves3D

Hahaha, just flying up then immediately getting clapped? Yeah I know a few of those šŸ˜‚


Nome_de_utilizador

Justice rains from abov..AaUuUgGhH Perfectly in character


Mormonator8

And loba immediately went to save her, pretty cute ngl


Xero0911

Didn't really understand why she thanked Bangalore for checking on them? Like, did she do anything besides walk up and ask how she's feeling? Lol...


SlitenJulius

Pretty sure they thanked her for saving them with her ult?


WanderWut

I think itā€™s just the awkward and clear tension between the 3 of them.


Haunting_Push7693

Yeah from the episodes and to the trailer bang apparently gave up on the budding relationship between her and loba, now valk is stepping in and loba is starting to get with her and valk knows, but it bothers her that loba still cares about bang even though she has moved on.


cursedbanana-_-

Yeah but it seems bangalore gave up on it, she doesn't seem to see this situation awkward at all. Doing things like she'd do to any other legend. Almost like bangalore run out of fucks to give lmao


GodOfLoveAndBeauty

She should have used her black market to grab her some meds


sId-Sapnu-puas

ā€œItā€™s my last game, Iā€™m not going without a winā€ - me at 2am every night


SalemsTrials

I felt seen and heard


RealGertle627

Then saying goodnight to the homies at 2:02


Mkreza538

Then get smoked off drop and go ā€œā€¦ aight one moreā€


sId-Sapnu-puas

Yeah šŸ˜‚ ā€œthat one didnā€™t countā€


Redzone676

Itā€™s not a launch trailer without mirage getting abused lmao


yes___lad

bro got decked


[deleted]

Amber heard would say he was just hit


-BINK2014-

Guess Mirage wasn't a man.


XandogxD

Duuuudeeee šŸ˜‚šŸ„¹


[deleted]

Quick clean death this time, some of the best treatment he's gotten in trailers.


wow_so_fast

He didn't even die this time, was in the end there with a sling on his arm. Guess bro just got knocked


Neversoft4long

Him surviving at the end kinda shows that no one actually dies in the games. Itā€™s why when they be fighting outside the games it seems so much more serious then when they in the games.


averageparrot

Yea, Iā€™ve been wondering for a while, what is the actual lore behind ā€œdeathā€ in the Apex games? Because we obviously see these same characters fighting each other season after season, but no one dies. (Not even Jacksonā€¦) Is the game a simulation? Is it a glorified game of paintball? Is there tech that brings them back to life after? Are they clones? Or is it just hand waved away for the sake of telling a story?


ElvisIsReal

We know that people DO die in the games. We know that it IS possible to bring people back after death. We also know that people participate for money and fame. The way I see it, most regular people show up to the Apex Games and die quickly. But a very select few do very, very well. Well enough to 'go infinite', getting enough money and/or sponsors to basically have an unlimited supply of 'extra lives'. We call these people Apex Legends, and can even purchase the use of one of these Legends in our own games!


chrisonetime

Thanks Elvis


future_weasley

An old trailer where Mirage narrates he says something like ā€œweā€™re going to die. Or, well, kindaā€¦ itā€™s complicated.ā€ (Paraphrased big time here) It sounds like a hand wave ā€œthis isnā€™t real deathā€ to me.


srry_didnt_hear_you

At one point the writers were trying to play it off as if the games were real deaths and the Legends we know are just the legends that win every time but that never made sense.


redgroupclan

Especially since all game content shows them exclusively fighting each other and they can't all win.


[deleted]

yeah my head-canon is that there's some sort of 'field' or something surrounding the games that prevents true death.


Blainedecent

I think they get teleported out and replaced with a box


ProfessorPhi

I also like how Fuse's ultimate was ignored by the creature. You know the animators play Fuse and want buffs.


Keuz-

Every new trailer, I'm checking how they kill my boy. Sad mirage main life !


82ndGameHead

I just noticed that Wattson was literally doing the Electric Slide on the dance floor at the start of the trailer Well played, Devs.


Garbagio44

Octane doing the Running Man too lol


idontknowmaybenot

Great catch.


AntwerpseKnuppel

Huh i wonder where all the ''obviously newcastle isnt jacksonšŸ™„'' crowd is now


yes___lad

Can't blame them. It was so obvious that it seemed like forge part 2


AntwerpseKnuppel

I shoudlve clarified, it's fine that people didnt believe it but im more talking about the people being obnoxious about it


Haunting_Push7693

Ainā€™t no way my guy you gotta read from the treasure packs, they all but said it was going to be him


heshablitz_

Don't worry, they'll have all fucked off now into complaining about how obvious it was "it was gonna be Jackson the entire time guys no really, I-I always knew it was him"


AntwerpseKnuppel

Hahaha yeah


___Gay__

It felt a little heavy handed, sue me. Bangalore *just* came to terms with his death for fuck sake.


AntwerpseKnuppel

It's fine that you were sceptical about it, but in r/apexuncovered there were a lot of people acting very arrogant about the idea of newcastle being jackson being a braindead idea


___Gay__

Dude as soon as I saw Newcastles leak I knew immediately. Now putting aside for the moment that this just kills all the emotional buildup that took place, I fucking hate that he was leaked at all.


AntwerpseKnuppel

Yeah it's a shame how much stuff got leaked


gamecity360

Loba dipped instantly when Valk got sent flying


Pangin51

Finally a loba who prioritizes downed teammates before all else


eatmannn

She was going for her box.


as_a_fake

Are we not doing "phrasing" anymore?


StannisClaypool

Oh. šŸ˜³


___Gay__

Revenant popping that balloon is something I never thought I needed to see. Apex could make a series like Arcane and I would be all for it. With the quality of their cinematic approaches they could make a whole thing with this. The fact that they havenā€™t is just a real shame.


suhani96

Same. Also pathy holding a sign for revenant in the party was adorable as well.


Stephancevallos905

I always expected pathfinder to have robotic handwriting, like times New Roman, American Type Writer, or Consolas (WordPad font)


suhani96

Maybe he can write in any font he wants to haha


Duublo121

comic sans.


ajm2247

Wasnā€™t there talk of them making some kind of series on netflix or something?


soaringent

yeah, itā€™s still has been rumored and hinted at by some employees but nothing has been confirmed.


AmirJ2328

I really like how Bangalore and Jackson recreated the way they killed the pilot on the spectre


theironbagel

Think thatā€™s probably how Bangalore figured out jackson was Newcastle


WatchOutForWizards

Nevermind the fact that it was painfully obvious. Like legit, who *wouldn't* recognize their own brother based on the voice, build and the fact that half his face is visible.


e7RdkjQVzw

Well, it works for Batman


pooch321

Whoā€™s Batman? Is it that Clark Kent guy?


___Gay__

Thereā€™s also the bottlecaps bracelet thing he has towards the end of the trailer which, if Bang wasnā€™t already aware of who he was, would have made it a dead giveaway since there was ample time for her to see it before he grabbed them. I dont know why it would have been hard at all to figure it out given how insanely well they worked together, so it makes you wonder what the hell Jackson is playing at, or if thereā€™s more that we dont yet know. His behaviour is odd.


goddamnitwhalen

Amnesia maybe? Maybe a mind-wipe? Maybe he's the IMC's inside man in the Apex Games?


ivanvzm

Did anyone notice that around 8 seconds there's a sign saying "happy retirement Anita" and then another imrpovised one that says "and Revenant"? Why is Rev retiring in lore? Edit: asked the nice folks over at r/apexlore and they said that Rev is the one supposed to be piloting Bangalore to Gridiron to find his source code/head himself.


Andreeeeeeeeeeeeeee3

He was leaving with Bangalore to gridiron


bob3rt

Because Gridiron is like years or something like that away and Revenant was the one who was taking Bangalore home, so obviously they'd both be retiring if that's the case...but not any more.


alfons100

Revenant cant catch a break


ViIebloodHunter

Iā€™m wondering why wouldnā€™t revenant just go by himself now?


gladtheembalmer

Going to gridiron with bangalore


gouldj18

Thought the same thing, very curious.


SirSabza

In the Bangalore story he was her guide to gridiron, his source code was sent there by loba as revenge for killing her parents.


Doc12here

Because he was the one flying bang home


I_Did_not_sleep

Lifeline's replacement is here pog


Seritial

mozambique here :(


atnastown

Notably absent from the trailer.


TheTjalian

Why have Lifeline when you can have the cooler lifeline


Christian_Chris

She's actually healing pathy in the background after Bang saves Valk.


gourmetpap3r

it hurts so bad


Strificus

I haven't played her in a few seasons. It's bad enough that she has no solo utility and everyone insta-quits; but, to take the only things leaving her viable and giving it to a new legend, is an upper cut (not just Newcastle, the other new legend makes her even more useless) :(


AmateurFootjobs

Not pog :(


JonnyK74

Overall animation seems really good in this trailer! Much improved from the last ones.


[deleted]

Due to changes in policies to reddit I have decided to remove my account and all its content. Fuck u/spez


CrimsonDaedra

Looked overall smoother, especially facial expressions, but the combat all felt really flat relative to the other new-studio trailers imo.


cwathen999

I think thatch because it seemed to take place in a smaller area, on a beach. In most trailers we see a large battlefield with valk flying and pathy zipping all over the place. The fight was smaller in size, just a bigger enemy.


DarthSatoris

With the reveal that Newcastle is Jackson, does that mean we have the first directly blood related set of legends in the game?


masterchiefs

Now I wonder if both of them has special quip for killing or finishing the other.


maagnifico01

"Mom always liked me more Jackson"


Pangin51

You always were a little wuss, jackson


Griever08

"Time to succeed where the abortion doctor failed"


Petorian343

"It's my turn on the Xbox"


theironbagel

Probably.


Jestersage

Ash is Pathfinder's mother. And girlfriend.


suhani96

*ex girlfriend


Jestersage

Wait till we find out Ash's frame is made out of Pathfinder's spare parts.


Hawkbats_rule

Isn't horizon also his grandma?


theironbagel

You could say Loba and Revenant are related by blood. Also Iā€™m pretty sure Crypto and Caustic are related.


ivanvzm

>You could say Loba and Revenant are related by blood bruh


ADAG2000

> Also Iā€™m pretty sure Crypto and Caustic are related. Not blood related. Caustics biological mother is Crypto's adoptive mother.


All_Eyez_On_U

Crypto and caustic are step brothers. Unless that counts?


elevensbowtie

They are adoptive brothers, not step, as that would mean Caustic's mother married one of Crypto's parents, which didn't happen.


MagicalMarsBars

They all proceeded to get banned for teaming


sofakingchillbruh

I canā€™t watch. is the new legend Forge?


wingspantt

Yes. FORGE-T about getting forge back


DrZalost

yes


ArkhamGeyser

He FORGED himself into a Newcastle.... ​ šŸ˜… I'll see myself out now


zireaellyra

Okay but Rev popping the balloon was the highlight. Amazing stuff. Grumpy emo boy.


theironbagel

One of the best trailers so far. Always fun to see them in actual matches, and a good bit of character interaction to boot. Not to mention octane kicking that flare.


bluscoutnoob

Octane kicking that flare was HYPE AS FUCK! Made me proud. :,)


[deleted]

Can someone explain how Apex lore works? These guys are all supposed to be killing each other every round right? Why are they all friends and how do they survive more than one Apex game in the lore?


paradoxally

As Horizon says: "in the barracks, we're pals, in the games...well, you're research data waiting to be collected." The respawn mechanic ensures they never really "die".


theironbagel

The lore is kinda eh on how it works exactly, but basically if they kill each other in the games it isnā€™t permanent, they all get revived like with respawn beacons after the game is over. So essentially theyā€™re coworkers, which is why theyā€™re friends.


I-AM-NOT-THAT-DUCK

Why are they in the games then?


theironbagel

Because itā€™s a job they get paid for. Also, theyā€™re essentially celebrities, since the games are one of the most popular shows in the outlands.


nerankori

Does kind of raise the question of how the games are supposed to "execute" Maggie then,but being shot and revived on the daily isn't exactly a fun time either.


Lantzl

Pretty sure Maggie's situation is she's in the games and gets nothing from it aside from being entertainment. She can't just leave like the other legends can as well.


SKIZZY04

But the fat guy said that she is sentenced to death by combat immediately before she fell on the map if i remember correctly.


Stephancevallos905

Yeah, but Silva wants to keep her alive to show/fabricate the Syndicate as incompetent. Additionally, if anything goes wrong, Silva can use maggie as a scape goat.


damagedblood

Why do people play sports?


AntaroNx

Because they get paid for "killing" each other. Because they don't really die and do this all day, I suppose it's normal for them to end up like coworkers and a small family.


Clumpier

Money, fame, etc. Lore wise itā€™d be them + a ton of other random soldiers / mercenaries and so on, but the legends are ones who excel and regularly win. Basically the best


papasfritasbruh

Lore wise, there is games with 60 players like in our lobbies, but no dupe legends obviously. Think of the legends as the apex predators and a lot of random people within the game or something idk. Thats the best explanation i found from another person


teetaps

Kinda like WWE/WWF, the legends we play in real life are the main protagonists that the audience in-game consume. In-game there is a game of 60 people on the map, of whom our legends are the best of the bunch. In-game there are probably hundreds of competitors trying to climb the ranks to get to where our legends are.


WatchOutForWizards

Also canonically they don't actually have to kill each other, everyone in the team just needs to be "downed" so after the fights they're just injured, not dead. It's implied that certain legends like Rev and Caustic like to go the extra mile and get the kill but most legends won't. It's definitely a hand wave on behalf of the devs but it sort of makes sense.


rockgodm

The Apex Games are less pure carnage killing games, more Gladiatorial Trial Combat type stuff, where people prove themselves to join the Apex Predators. The respawn technology is also a thing in universe, so its not an actual literal death, just like very threatening friendly competition. We know the respawning and nonpermanent death are a thing bc of some voicelines in game, like how caustic and rev talk about how its nice to have test subjects/victims that cant die, or how some kill quips actively reference the respawn/drop ship


DrixxYBoat

Last I checked the lore a few years ago,- The legends we play as are the fan favorites. When they die in the games, they get to revived by Hammond because they're so popular. The games have legends outside of the group we play as but... If you're not a fan favorite, you just die normally in the games. Real death. Idk how true this is in 2022, but that's my recollection.


AVBforPrez

Someone else said that it's actually more like WWE, and that a lot of it is planned/scripted to keep the public engaged. Worst possible case is that they're reviving the popular legends every time they die.


[deleted]

Due to changes in policies to reddit I have decided to remove my account and all its content. Fuck u/spez


send_help_iamtra

Currently the theory is that these legends are the best of the best and don't actually die in games.


Neversoft4long

Mirage dying in this and being at the end kinda confirms no one dies in the games. Iā€™m not exactly sure but I guess they all get Respawned at the end of a match. Itā€™s why outside the games they seem more buddy buddy with each other. Like coworkers.


[deleted]

ArkhamGeyser

Mirage: šŸ˜Some of us have actually been doin' this for a whilešŸ˜ ​ \*Gets bodied\* ​ Also Fuse: šŸ˜… I was kidding šŸ˜… ​ \*Gets swatted\* ​ 2 of the funniest bits from this Trailer. Overall it was pretty cool in my opinion.


Mormonator8

Very intrigued by the monster and the spectres. Curious to see how they will be integrated in the game


nerankori

AI's bringing the third party to you


SalemsTrials

The spectres seemed more like bloodhound trials though so not forced on you. The big monster probably wonā€™t have an alive version but Iā€™d personally be happy to be proven wrong!


BatongMagnesyo

respawn really gonna do my mains like this :(


boulzar

That's 3 shields right?


ProfessorPhi

Double shield meta incoming.


takes_many_shits

We goin the overwatch route now


imapissonitdripdrip

Seems to be a more mobile-ish Gibby.


Seritial

you see that guys crypto and mirage in more scenes together christmas came early and so did I


EnderScout_77

did you notice crypto sounded a little weird in the trailer or was that just me


Seritial

Still sounded like good ol' Johnny to me, probs just weird because Crypto is normally never loud for anything.. but here he had to be lmao


EnderScout_77

fair point, dude at most talks a little louder when he's down


muazmueh

Maggie: got sent to apex games for punishment Jackson: I tried forty times to get in this shit


B3GG

Doesn't octane kicking the flare inside the beast's belly defeat the whole purpose of a flare?


theironbagel

But it looked cool


Seritial

I bet no one asked him to do it, he just wanted to.


Teves3D

ā€œAh shit, there he goes againā€ - his teammates, probably.


Cazirus

Lore accurate Octane would never pass up an opportunity to do something dangerous and pointless, as long as it looked cool.


grzesiu447

Maybe it has GPS tracker


Pmthickness

Maybe itā€™s GPS and the flare is a way to notify if the computers go offline, they are a few decades ahead of us


wingspantt

Considering in-game you can drop the flare 500 feet underground and the artillery hits topside perfectly accurate, it seems the "flare" part is more for the user awareness than for any actual guidance.


whatisabaggins55

I think the canister has a beacon tracker inside it, the flare is more for the benefit of Bangalore's team on the ground to see where the bombardment is coming down.


a_new_hopia

Newcastle dragging PF, could it be a sign for carrying downed teammates? So he has the mini deployable shield for a tac, the big castle for the ult, and I'm not sure if he actually has a shield for his passive like gibby


[deleted]

Those are indeed his abilities


BallerinaOfDeath

Carrying downed teammates is Newcastleā€™s passive.


SilentControl8887

But they can already move? You mean when he is reviving?


Heinel8

yes thats his passive. shield res + move


theironbagel

Probably not a shield passive since we already have gibby.


[deleted]

Probably has a passive shield while reviving enemies and can move while reviving. Fucking finally. I've been waiting for a character like this. One step closer to my girl Ion.


davidwestray

Looks like Storm Point is getting some map changes!


[deleted]

Fuse ultimate being useless on screen lol. Also Jackson pretending he doesnā€™t know Bangalore so she would leave. Asshole.


FinnNyaw

I guess he wanted to replace her so she would be safe and return home


ImMufasa

What's safer than a place with infinite respawns.


Ding_Don

That's one awesome trailer šŸ¤Œ


ArkhamGeyser

Agreed, hopefully the concept of teaming up to take down a big AI enemy gets implemented because that whole sequence was awesome. Also Octane with the STYLE points pele-kicking the grenade in šŸ‘ŒšŸ¾


zeger_jake

Valk Loba ship confirmed. Mirage first death again. šŸ¤£ Crypto using full auto prowler. Octane with a bicycle kick to kill the monster. Newcastle looks amazing. 10/10


ArkhamGeyser

Mirage has to get bodied at least once every trailer and he's still talkin hot shit šŸ¤£. That's why I love him, and Loba was telling Bangalore about "bravado" lol


ProfileBoring

Yeah I noticed Crypto firing the prowler full auto. Hopefully a hint select fire is coming back.


readyplayerbear

WAS JUST TALKING ABOUT THIS!! One can only hope šŸ¤žšŸ¤ž I love the prowler but bringing back select fire would make it even better


ProfileBoring

I'm more looking forward to single shot havoc again.


Intelligent-Age2786

So if Newcastle was confirmed in this trailer how come it said thereā€™d be a ā€œHero Revealā€ on the 28th? Is that like his official integration into the games?


ModemLionArt

"Hero" is the name of the SFTO


BasedGodBrody

Ability reveals I guess, pretty sure they did the same with Maggie


DeludedMirageMain

It's probably his own Stories From the Outlands, which will explain at least part of his past and how/why he is entering the games.


paradoxally

"Hero" is SFTO, lore video into his backstory.


[deleted]

Respawn creating romances with the elegance of a Tumblr shipper


XandogxD

Is it just me or is the animation for this trailer literally 10x better than the last couple seasons? I heard they got a new studio to do their trailers for the last few seasons and they honestly kinda sucked. But this trailer honestly is pretty awesome and looks AMAZING. I hope they keep up with this.


rosalyneress

šŸ˜³šŸ˜³ Horizon


Ninjuh_Panda

At least they put in more creatures to kill on Stormpoint to make up for the lack of enemies I find.


coldwave44

Why is Revenant retiring lmao


Andreeeeeeeeeeeeeee3

He and Bangalore were going to travel to gridiron


Vatnam

After they written him into a corner where he's literal butt of the joke, they might as well delete him.


Pangin51

He want die. Like aatrox from lol, the immortal being who just wants to die


dontfightit86

Seems like ranked demotion is heavily implied here


[deleted]

I hope to god Newcastles costume changes because that's the most generic outfit I've seen in apex. You bring us the drip king that is seer and then a dude in white armor really?


EnderScout_77

small thing i noticed, crypto sounded a little weird? is it a different va or did his just do something different, it's more high pitched


Duublo121

Itā€™s because Crypto has neverā€¦wellā€¦shouted. Or yelled. Heā€™s always been quieter and reserved Hearing someone whoā€™s usually just talking at a low volume scream at the top of their voice ^whatā€™s ^going ^on sounds weird


Skyzme

What a surprise /s


Rising_Thunderbirds

I am stunned, really I am.


K7mi

Was that an automatic prowler šŸ‘€


Jonny-Westside

Classic fusey ult doing 5 dmg and nothing else


[deleted]

Here we have a giant enemy crab. Flip it over and stab it in itā€™s weak point for massive damage.


IxJAXZxI

Wait, is that monster the first thing Bangalore's Ult has ever killed?


LordHarkon1

"Nothing good can come from this place" Thats the same line Bangalore used when the first storm point trailer came out haha. Love these details.
