Apex Legends' Story Is Getting Revamped In A Big Way Starting Today
Apex Legends Season 17: Arsenal is nearing its end, and true to their word, Respawn developers have detonated the long-awaited «lore bomb» they teased earlier this season with the release of a new animated series unlike anything Apex Legends players have seen before. Entitled «Kill Code: Part 1,» the four-minute animated short is the first of its kind in a number of ways and suggests the game's plot is going to get some much-needed TLC in the coming weeks, as the second episode of Kill Code is scheduled to release two weeks after the first. Respawn appears to have big plans for the series and seems committed to using this new narrative avenue to make Apex's story more cohesive. In a press release regarding the new series, Respawn revealed that Kill Code: Part 1 is the beginning of «a year-long storytelling journey in Apex Legends.»
Respawn's animated videos typically come in three flavors: They're an episode of Stories From The Outlands, a fully voiced but non-animated short uploaded to Twitter, or a pre-season launch trailer showing off new gameplay features, map additions, andlegend abilities. But Kill Code is not classified as a Stories From The Outlands episode, nor is it a standard part of pre-season hype, like the season launch trailers typically posted to Apex's YouTube Channel. Kill Code is something entirely new.
