Apex Legends’ new trailer reveals Conduit, not Titanfall 3 — sorry

Apex LegendsRespawn Entertainment, the developer of free-to play battle royale games has announced that they will be releasing a new character. Good news! Conduit, the reveal trailer of Legend’s new Legend game is packed with exciting Titan-on Titan action. The bad? Despite continued hope from the Titanfall fanbase, it’s not the Titanfall 3Some people were holding on to hope that they would be able to find the answers.

Conduit’s reveal comes in the form of a Stories from the Outlands animated trailer, the kind that Respawn uses to tell a bit of backstory for new Legends. Conduit’s origin involves a Monarch Titan that saves her town and family from an invading Ion force, with the unnamed pilot of that mech sacrificing its own life in order to destroy its enemies. Later, we see that Conduit, the game’s first Filipino Legend, has become a fan of the Apex Games. She hopes to compete in the Apex Games to support her family.

Conduit’s hope to achieve those heights comes from the Titan, a fallen titan with a still-irradiated power source. It’s a classic origin story, where a superhero risks death to gain new abilities. And in Conduit’s case, it seems to have paid off.

It remains to be determined how exactly her abilities will appear. But Conduit’s artwork shows a powerful energy flowing through her veins — and she appears to have a winged buddy that will aid her in battle. Respawn says it will show off more Conduit when the launch trailer of Apex Legends’ new season, Ignite, goes live.

For now, Titanfall fans will just have to recognize that they have an ally in Conduit — a fellow Titan enthusiast — and hope that all that supposed teasing of a Titanfall 3Respawn’s cryptic messages, YouTube hidden trailers and various updates to games pay off. Keep hope alive, folks. (It’s not happening.) Keep going. Please give up your pipedream.
