Apex Legends: Hunted Trailer Gives New Look at Vantage

gamerant.com:

Next month, Respawn Entertainment will release a new season of Apex Legends called Hunted. It has yet to show off too much for the new season, but the new Legend Vantage takes center stage in a new trailer for the season.

It dives into her character motivation for joining the Apex Games, which has something to do with the seemingly-wrongful imprisonment of her mother. She joins a squad with Fuse and Horizon in this trailer, but despite being young and called a pup by Fuse, she manages to lead them to victory. It's overall pretty low-key compared to other trailers, with a lot of small, interesting moments. There's even a bit of humor when Vantage comes up against her predecessor to the Apex Games, Newcastle. Following her victory in apparently her first match, she uses this chance to televise her mother's wrongful imprisonment, to which her mother applauds her and calls Vantage her wild one.

The official description of this Apex Legends trailer states that «Vantage’s mother may have raised her to survive the wilds of Págos, but she never crossed paths with a Legend. With her squadmates' help, she’ll need to discover the will to survive.»

Of course, eagle-eyed fans may have noticed a few other details. The trailer seemingly hints at some of Vantage's abilities, as well as shows off her adorable companion Echo. While there are plenty of 'pets' in the Apex Games, including Bloodhound's Artur, Ash's rat, and potentially even Wattson's Nessie doll, Echo may take the crown for cutest. Furthermore, it appears that Vantage and her squad are on Kings Canyon, potentially teasing some changes to the map as well.

Reception to the trailer seems to be going well, although there are quite a few Morbius-style memes in the comments. One
