The latest episode depicts the legends coming together for a greater cause in a way they never have before.

Apex Legends' developer Respawn entertainment has made one thing very clear this season: The game's plot is taking center stage. Season 18 kicked off in an entirely unprecedented manner, with no new legend being added. This also happened in Season 16, but this time around, there was a twist: Players weren't gaining access to a new character, they were gaining access to Revenant, an old character who recently developed a brand-new set of abilities--and a brand-new look.
This gave Respawn the perfect opportunity to create Kill Code, a new animated series that's separate from Stories From The Outlands (which typically deals with a legend's past), and thus finally gives players a chance to catch a glimpse of what it's like to live on a dropship with a bunch of deadly bloodsport participants, two of whom are literal murder robots. When we last left off in Kill Code: Part 2, we saw Revenant attempting to strangle Crypto, mistakenly thinking Crypto was the one behind the odd glitches he was experiencing. Of course, it turned out that Revenant's transformation was actually the result of the manipulative machinations of one Torres «Duardo» Silva, Octane's grandfather.

Now Playing: Apex Legends | Kill Code Part 3 Story Cinematic Trailer
Kill Code: Part 3 sees the legends coming together for the first time in a long while. After discovering where Duardo has run off to with Revenant's source code (which, for some reason, is inside a Futurama-esque head in a jar), Crypto, Loba, Valkyrie, Lifeline, Mad Maggie, and Revenant himself agree to infiltrate the facility on Malta to try and retrieve Revenant's source code. Despite their differences, they all agree that Revenant may be dangerous by nature, but he is far more dangerous when he's being controlled by someone else. Unfortunately, Lifeline is spotted and identified almost immediately after the group enters the facility, resulting in the building entering lockdown and security forces swarming the area.
The legends proceed to play a rather bloody game of volleyball with Revenant's jar-head--which is constantly changing hands, as the legends are each trying to keep a grip on it while also trying to fight off the security forces. It gets so bad that Loba and Revenant--mortal enemies, one of whom wishes to destroy the jar-head while the other wants to keep it safe forever so Revenant can never die--even have a moment where they're completely

Blockbuster battle royale Apex Legends is finally getting cross-progression, merging together the stats, cosmetics, bought Apex Coins and more for players that have been going across multiple platforms. All of this is coming with Apex Legends Season 19: Ignite.
Getting an email asking if I want a copy of “the Apex Legends cookbook” was one of the most WTF moments of my year thus far, but once I knew it existed, I had to have it. Before I left for GamesBeat Next, I was perusing and casually testing some of the recipes in the book, and let me tell you: The Apex Legends cookbook is a goldmine of comedy, if not of particularly inventive recipes. Some of the food feels artificially tied to specific characters — Octane has a couple of recipes in the book (both good, too), and I’ll remind you the character is canonically a thrill-seeking drug addict. I want nothing to do with whatever he puts in his body.
Free-to-play battle royale shooter Apex Legends is finally introducing cross-progression as part of its 19th season, and ahead of its arrival next Tuesday, 31st October, developer Respawn Entertainment has detailed how the whole thing'll work.
Season 19's launch is shaping up to be one of the most transformative updates the game has seen in years.
After an exciting Virtual Press Event and a detailed blog post, we got a ton of new information revealed on all the changes coming to Storm Point in Apex Legends Season 19.
Apex Legends’ newest character is just happy to be here. Conduit, the game’s first Filipino Legend, will join the roster with season 19 on Oct. 31, and she’s a big fan of the Apex Games. Expect her to be fangirling out as she meets (and defeats) the rest of the Legend lineup using powers she gained from a harvested Monarch Titan battery.

The new Support-class legend's abilities are based on Titanfall 2's Monarch Titan.
Respawn has revealed the next season of the battle-royale FPS, titled Apex Legends: Ignite. The highlight of the new season is the electrifying new Legend: Conduit. For the first time ever, Cross Progression has also been added to Apex. Following the seasons electrical theme, the Storm Point map has also been energized and overhauled.
