Apex Legends Season 19: Ignite is almost here, and after introducing players to new legend Conduit's emotional backstory in last week's episode of Stories From The Outlands, it seems Respawn decided to take a very different (and extremely amusing) approach when it came to the tone of the Season 19 launch trailer.

Of course, it includes the standard staples of the average Apex launch trailer--a look a the newest legend, some scenes of them fighting in the ring, and a few hints at what kind of abilities they possess. But there's one thing that makes Season 19's launch trailer different from every other trailer that has come before it: a Disney princess-esque musical number, featuring a duet with none other than Revenant himself.

The trailer starts off with Mirage, Gibraltar, and Conduit sitting around a table, trying to decide how best to pitch the new season's launch trailer. This is interesting in and of itself, as it suggests that the seasonal launch trailers are actually a part of Apex canon, and implies each new legend gets a say in how they are portrayed.

After shooting down a few ideas, Mirage suggests that Conduit ought to take a «showier» approach, which results in a side-splittingly hilarious musical number. The scene switches to Conduit standing atop a cliff on the Storm Point map, belting her heart out.

«I'm the light, I'm the hope, a hero rising, a savior from the storm,» she sings, showing off Conduit voice actress Frankie Kevitch's impressive vocal chops.

But before she can continue, Revenant appears behind her, standing in a sunbeam clearly meant to serve as a spotlight, and starts belting out a tune of his own.

«I'm the night, I'm the darkness, and I will kill you for a chance to be reborn,» he sings, somehow managing to hold a tune despite having a voice that's closer to a demon than a Broadway singer.

But before things can continue, Conduit is snapped back to reality, where Revenant has stumbled upon their little trailer-planning meeting.

«No.» he says flatly, clearly displeased at the mere suggestion that he should be featured in the song.

«I mean, I liked it,» Gibraltar tells her.

There's even a reference to Vanellope Von Schweetz's solo in Wreck-It Ralph's sequel, in which the various Disney princesses tell Vanellope that part of singing a successful princess song often requires finding some «important water» and staring into it.

It seems Conduit knows how to channel her inner Disney princess just as much as she knows how to channel her Titan-borne powers, as she can be seen gazing wistfully into what appears to be a coffee mug, with her
