Apex Legends’ six-year anniversary is just a few days away, and Respawn is celebrating with the release of a new cinematic trailer, giving players a glimpse of what’s to come.
Though it’s not an episode of Stories From The Outlands, the trailer–titled “Takeover Anthem”–is fully animated, and provides an interesting look at the other side of the Apex Games: the folks watching at home.
The trailer mainly focuses on Octane as he battles his way through a match, but we also see what Legends like Alter and Loba get up to between matches: Loba steals stuff, and Alter terrorizes her interdimensional enemies. But a crowd of spectators and fans are also featured in the trailer, with many of them cosplaying as their favorite Legend.
Ultimately, Octane nearly bites the dust, but comes out on top with a narrow victory. The crowd goes wild, and the trailer cuts to a shot of Titanfall 2 big bad Kuben Blisk, who also serves as the official Apex Games commissioner. Blisk looks especially pleased with himself, as if Octane’s win might be something he was hoping for.
One thing that’s notably missing from the trailer is a new Legend. The trailer shows off plenty of familiar faces, but so far, it doesn’t look like Season 24 will come with a new playable Legend.
Although the trailer does provide the name of Season 24 (Takeover), it doesn’t provide any details on when the season will launch. The Season 24 page on the official Apex Legends website simply reads, “We live to fight,” followed by a promise that more details are coming next week. The end of the animated trailer says that a gameplay trailer is coming soon, but doesn’t provide a specific date for the trailer or the launch of Season 24, though the new season is likely set to launch in early February.
