Hot Drop: 13 Easter Eggs And References Hidden In Apex Legends Season 13’s Launch Trailer
Hot Drop is GameSpot’s weekly Apex Legends column, in which Jordan Ramée takes a closer look at Respawn’s battle royale to provide additional insight into the game’s evolution, as well as dive deeper into its episodic storytelling and characters.
The launch trailer for Apex Legends Season 13: Saviors hides quite a few references and Easter eggs. It also introduces us to the season’s new playable character–it’s Newcastle, Bangalore’s brother. Below, we breakdown 13 hidden shoutouts secreted away in the Saviors launch trailer.
If you like what you read, I’d appreciate it if you checked out some of my other Apex Legends articles, like my theory about how Apex Legends is heading towards all-out war. I also think that Respawn tends to focus a bit too much on developing Apex Legends’ storyline through the legends, and should change the narrative so that the battle royale no longer focuses on its heroes. There was also that giant Apex Legends leak from a while back–though I’m sure it’s mostly accurate, I’m not convinced we can trust any of the nine leaked legends beyond Newcastle and Vantage.
