Apex Legends developer Respawn Entertainment has released a mini-episode of Kill Code, the animated series the studio began releasing began back in July. The new episode, titled «A Life For A Life,» is a teaser of sorts, with an announcement that a trailer for Kill Code: Part 4 will be released on Monday, November 27.
The shortened episode released today focuses on the aftermath of Kill Code: Part 3, which saw Loba draw a gun on her girlfriend and fellow legend, Valkyrie, when she hesitated to hand over Revenant's source code, something Loba has been seeking relentlessly since her arrival in Season 5. The episode shows Valkyrie appearing to break up with Loba and leaving her alone with her thoughts. But of course, the moment the door swings shut behind her, a familiar voice echoes from somewhere in the corner of the room: Revenant.

«I'll even let you pull the trigger,» Revenant continues.
He's hinting at an alliance between himself and Loba, who's sole goal for several seasons now has been to locate Revenant's source code. In Season 5, she arrived at the games and attempted to destroy the code, but only succeeded in destroying the entirety of the Skull Town POI on King's Canyon. At the end of that season's Broken Ghost questline, she discovered that destroying the code--which would effectively kill Revenant for good--would be fulfilling Revenat's greatest wish. After 359 years of suffering endless deaths and rebirths, all the murderbot wants these days is a nice, long, permanent dirt nap.
Loba ultimately decided to forgo destroying the code, forcing Revenant to continue living as punishment for his many crimes, which include the murders of Loba's parents. Instead, she gave the source code
