The "Up Close and Personal" story has an insane backstory. Leakers had datamined that the next character would be Revenant, then the Apex team announced Forge would be the next character, which confused the hell out of everyone. After a lot of teasing and even fake abilities being made for Forge, that video comes out and Revenant is revealed, killing Forge. Truly an incredible way to build hype for a character.

yes, Apex is set after the events of Titanfall 2. something to note is that Ash as well as Valkyrie's dad, Viper, were bossfights from Titanfall 2's campaign (which you saw in Ash's story). The guy who Rampart and Valkyrie spoke to was the leader of a mercenary group called the Apex Predators, of which Ash and Viper were a part of. also none of this takes place on earth like it seems you think. instead these are all on VERY distant planets in an area known as "the Frontier". Maybe do A replay of Titanfall 2's campaign, it might recontextualise Apex for you.

Bloodhound was confirmed to be nonbinary so using they/them is correct lol. Also them and fuse canonically became a relationship after a longtime relationship development over a few seasons. It became canon when the official Twitter page for Apex dropped a short of them both titled "A beast that cannot be tracked" back near the end of Oct 2022 Almost forgot, but Fuse's heirloom in game was actually a gift from bloodhound for their anniversary, apex also gave us a short comic showing that as well. :)

Titanfall 2 connections: 1. Kuben Blisk, the creator of the games, was the main villain in Titanfall 2 2. Valks dad, Viper, was a boss in the story. My personal favorite boss and favorite titan 3. Ash is another boss from Titanfall 2, which is why it shows BT crushing her, like you do in the story

Titanfall 2 is the prequel to Apex Legends, Valkyrie is the daughter of Viper, one of Titanfall 2's most well known bosses. Kuben Blisk is also one of the main bad guys from the game and he's the one recruiting people for Apex Legends including your main character in Titanfall 2 Jack Cooper who is also Titan Pilot. Ash the robot girl is also a titan pilot and you fight her in Titanfall 2 aswell. For context titan pilots are basically super soldiers with insane reflexes, speed, and accuracy.

Valkyrie’s backstory always hits the hardest for me just because in Titan fall 2 you kill her father and then they talk about how he never came back and that’s because you killed him

bro i love you u read my mind i was just watching the launch trailer vid and i got sad when it was over cause this vid wasnt out but 5 mins later u released this you just made my day bro keep up the good work

Ramya Parekh (Rampart) is an engineer who specializes in weapons design and modification. By trade, she builds guns and customizes them to their owner's specifications. She's known for being one of the best at it, so all stripes of clientele come to her for mods. She'd advertise her weapons and mods herself by using them in "The Guantlet" which is sort of a minor league version of the Apex Games (til she got the invite from Kuben Blisk, the founder of the Apex Games). Fun fact: many of the weapon skins in-game (and at least one of the guns, a light machine gun called the Rampage) are actually her designs. They even have her trademarked "R" symbol on them. She also helped build Valkyrie's jetpack by scaling down and modding her dad's Northstar Titan thrusters. As she always says, "It aint great unless its got 'Rampart' written on it!"

"The Promise" has to be the saddest one out of em all but i think in the next year we are going to get the end of that story

Main Rampart here, in canon Rampart have designed and build many weapons, she also make custom jobs for every wepon, varius skins in game are rampart designs, she is probably the greatest mechanical engenier in the Frontier, some people even say, if is not a rampart is not Worth

I just watxhed ur first apex video yesterday so the timing of this is perfect

Apex has the "Mixtape" mode, where you can play Control (King of the Hill), Team Deathmatch and Gun Run modes on rotation - so its not only BR now. Also, I recommend checking out the rest of the Kill Code stories (you watched part 1 and 2, so there's 3 and 4 left), the "Meet the Legends trailers and maybe even the Season Gameplay trailers too if possible 👍

One thing thats cool is Gibraltar (the guy with the dome bubble) started out calling Catalyst (the one reading stones) "brotha" but when he learned she was trans and went by she/her he immediately switched to using "sista"

54:26 yes Titan fall 2 and apex are in the same universe like ash is a boss in Titan fall 2 who you fought in the campaign and so was Viper he was one of the last bosses you bought when your on the top of that ship and kubin blisk was like the main mastermind behind Titan fall 2 he was also the person that gave you the card at the end of the campaign of Titan fall 2

Bro I come back to watch these everytime I forget about it, and they never get old.

In the ash story that was her being brought back that many times. She’s been ash like 44000 times. We kill her one time in titanfall. That’s what those numbers were. Being reborn that many times fractures your mind. That’s why she split.

Big respect to anyone willing to feel their feelings and put it out there, man. KZfaq hit me with your apex vids out of the blue and I'm so thankful it did.

I seriously love your videos so much and now your reacting to apex my favorite game ever

Ash lore: Ashley Reid(Ash) was a spy for IMC which is big bad organization from Titanfall 1 & 2 who infiltrated a research team Marie Sommers(Horizon) was on. The head of the research team, Lilian Peck, created the floating city known as Olympus, but it was running out of power. Horizon found a material called branthium which is near blackholes that could the city for YEARS so she went to get some and Ash betrayed her leaving her in the blackhole while taking back the branthium. Due to gravity time distortion(idk) Horizon was stuck for 87 years even though it was roughly a year for her. During this time Ash brought the branthium to the research team, but they struggled to refine it; a few years pass and Horizon’s son, Newton, figures out how to refine it but the process would kill a regular person so the team creates a MRVN robot(Pathfinder) to do it for them(the lady in Pathfinders memory is Watson’s grandmother, and Gibraltar’s grandfather was also apart of the team as well). After the successful refine the first batch of Branthium to use as a power source Ash tells Newton to “Take the night off” signalling him to leave as she still somewhat cared for him, before calling IMC troops to come steel the Branthium by teleporting it through a phaserunner(giant portal used to transport goods). The IMC wanted the branthium as a fuel source because they were losing the war(from titanfall) due to insufficient fuel. Pathfinder discovers her betrayal and shuts off the phaserunner; Ash gets mad and stabs him through the chest with the same blade seen in the video. The other scientists discover Ash’s betrayal and Watson’s grandmother stabs her in the back with the sword From Pathfinder. Afterwards the IMC agents Ash called arrive and the scientists restart the phaserunner sending the branthium through it to a trusted company before causing it to self destruct which created the giant dome you can see in the launch trailer. All the scientists die but Ash survives and the IMC take her dying body and decide to make her into a simulacrum(like Revenant) so she can live on in a robot body, but it is and extremely painful process. During this process Ash’s memories are suppressed using certain codes so she can be controlled more easily and gets recruited by Kuben Blisk to lead some IMC mercenaries in the war. In titanfall 2 we fight and kill her, but it’s not that easy to kill a robot. She gets thrown out and YEARS later Pathfinder( fixed but memory loss) finds her in a dumpster and proceeds to rebuild her, calling her his “girlfriend”, but she ends up with even more memory loss. He asks Rampart for help in this process and Rampart mentions Olympus(the city Ash and Horizon are from) causing her to snap regaining her memories. Later Ash and Horizon encounter each other and Ash mentions Newton(Horizons son). When the next meet Horizon mentions one of Ash’s memory codes causing her to freak out and attack Horizon, so Horizon continues yelling out the codes causing Ash to regain her all her memories and the old Ashley Reid who was suppressed to come back. At first Horizon thought she was talking to Lilian Peck( the leader of her old research team) bur quickly learns it’s Ashley Reid who betrayed her. Ashley tries to tell Horizon what happened to her son Newton, but before she can Ash takes back control and thanks horizon for giving her some “new information” before leaving and deciding to join the apex games. Ps ~ I left out a few minor details since it would be waaaaay too long, hope this helps.

14:04 hes Korean and that wasn't japan it was his home planet they don't rally have countries just planets

You were right using they/them for bloodhound!! They're canonically non-binary

Seer - This it cannot be unseen Catalyst- This it has been seen

a single player mode was in the works for apex for a long time, but was eventually scrapped. i dont think its coming

Loved seeing you react to These apex trailers! I recommend watching all the Meet the legends trailers next if you want to see each legends abilities! 💜

Been loving your Apex Legends reaction videos. Apex Legends needs a Netflix series.

As long time apex legends player and 🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️fan, thank you for reacting to these. Super entertaining, also more apex legends react content would be amazing. Keep it up nice video

Damn, i barely remembered wattson's story:( great vid;)

Apex does have a "mixtape" mode that has gamemodes like TDM and capture the flag if that is interesting for you

Horizon (the one with the kid) has a rather touching dive emote where she's playing catch with the robot ok her back and then proceeds to hug it mid air. She also named it after her son.

hey Blaze, i wanted to recommend a Respawn-confirmed-official canon fan-made cinematic (basically a stories of the outlands) for pathfinder. It is called "The Truth" by GoldenLane Studio. It is cannon, and involves Ash, Horizon, and Pathfinder. It also involves (slightly) the 'ancestors' (not really that ancient but yknow, idk their exact familial lineage, i just know great grandparents and whatnot) of Wattson, and Gibraltar.

Apex is connected to Titan fall lore because of Valkyrie and Marige.😅❤ Lore.😊

Gotta do the Meet the Legends trailers next

Hey blaze for one loved the video and for two as a suggestion you could always play the Titan fall campain so you can remember mors about it plus if you haven't finished the campain it gives you a reason to

Wraiths ability is that she can see multiple different outcomes to different situations

41:08 Solo's available now.

55:00 her dad is actually vyper from titanfall 2, he died some years later in titanfall since we had to fight him in it. One of the greatest boss fight. If you take into account valks age which is 31 years old you can deduce that apex takes place about 20 years after titanfall 2

React to all meet the legends and gameplay trailers, events and event heirloom trailers, all character finishers

41:08 Yes it was called Titan Fall! which we won't be getting more of now! but a story mode Apex game/expansion may be on their mind!

im a horizon (doctor mary summers) main cuss i fell in love with her story and of course having her mobility isn't a bad thing either, in the last lounge trailer in the end you hear her boy say "do you promise?" and that's the end so i hope next season they'll finally have her invent time travel

I used to believe they released Seers character inspired by the Coincidence guy😂

Dude has said he played Titanfall 1 and 2 but doesn't recognize a single reference

you were perfect with bloodhound, they are non binary

Could you play Ultrakill? Trust me, it's fun. It's a movement shooter where you play as a robot that has to kill demonic creatures.

Blaze Apex is the same universe as titanfall but it takes place 30 years after titanfall 2 Ash was one of the pilots of the titans u fight and Valkyries dad was a pilot too and his name is viper you can watch his death scene

I never have chance to play Titanfall games cause of my setup but when I get better stuff there was not time for this but i find Apex and have great time with that for 4 years

Wattson story of the outlands is beautiful, just a daughter reading her dad's letter about how proud he is of her.

Valk's dad is the second to last i think boss of titanfall 2 campaign Ash is a boss in tf2 too

Love your reactions! Also Crypto is Korean in case you didn’t know

I love when peoole dive into the apex lore

37:38 Yes, Rampart builds weapons and made that gun

you still have to watch Kill Code part 3 and 4! those are the continuations of the previous two you reacted to

I love the Titanfall/Apex legends lore

there was a single player in the makes but unfortunately it got cancelled

Is there a part 2? there's a few stories missing

You should listen to legend interactions revenant is a menace in them, he says everything possible to make the other legends cry or hurt

"these crappy teammates are holding me down" lol says literally anyone that solo ranked hahaha

what hairstyles do you prefer?

Another interesting part about Ashley and Ash is that Ash wears an identical mask above her similacrum face, as if she's trying to hide her true identity, with her mask.

Bloodhound is often considered Nonbinary, though I dont think its quite that. They are left intentionally ambiguous, and I think it is less so a gender thing and moreso a priorities thing. Bloodhound doesnt strike me as the type to worry about gender, they are more concerned with the hunt and the allfather. Bloodhound identifies as a hunter, and when asked what is in their pants, I imagine bloodhound would say "the spirit of the hunt" just an incredibly minute part of their life. Especially after joining the games. Bloodhound is however voiced by a woman both here and in the game, which is not what I had originally assumed when I played the game at first. But people of all genders have played all genders, so thats not important either.

1:23:10 MY BOYYYY OCTANEEE

Where can I learn more lore? I hear people talk about how wraith began in the imc etc or is that all mind cannon? Or is there other places with full stories of all? These feel like small snippets yet people know so much lore

Yeah you should totally touch some random glowing green goo that is used in batteries, can't imagine how it would go wrong!

Bloodhound- I cried Horizon- i cried

The AllFather is the kings of the gods in.Norse mythology the character that bloodhound is talking to was Arthur the chieftain of they’re village and her uncle 20:06

Have you made a video on your channel playing overwtatch yet? I wanna watch it but i cant find it, did you livestream it on twitch?

The rampart family made all the guns 37:44 except for the nemesis

Hi Blaze! I have a series idea for a fangan you can start watching! It's called Gacharonpa: Killing Frenzy. It is made by mumudacow and its pretty well done. It's a fangan made with gacha but it actually is amazing. The Series is on chapter 3's investigation so it's almost done! It's a very good written fangan and it's very underrated so I think you should give it a watch! :DD

Apex will not have a story mdoe. They said so because this game is made for teamwork

don't know if you cought it but ash (the lady robot) is actually the same women that betrayed horizon (doctor summers "the mom")

Some thing you need to know, actually in titanfall 2, we kill valk's dad, he was a boss ,and the creator of the apex games was on the bad guys side

more apex legens reaction ,, lets goooooooo

Can you react to apex legends all gameplay trailers and all meet the legends trailers

Horizon's story reminds me SOO much of Interstellar

Everybody complaining about the killmonger hairstyle but it’s fucking dope😂

"japan looks amazing!" my brother in christ...

41:05 Apex tried to have a bit of a co-op campaign type thing, but it didnt last long and wasnt particularly good. We got some neat lore out of it, but actually playing it wasnt anything great. Maybe titanfall 3 🙏🙏🙏 can expand on this a lot, since its the same universe. (Please give us titanfall 3 respawn i beg of you)

Please continue TWDG. You NEED to finish it. plz

Do "meet the legends" next😊

Wattsons mom made Pathfinder

THERES ONE MORE WITH CONDUIT !!!

mirage my boy is missing

Would you react to the Gameplay trailers too that would be awesome?

Horizons story gon hit me like a brick each time

like button was rainbow at 1:27:52

They were planning on making a single player game for Apex, but they ended up canceling it.

Bloodhound actually uses They/Them pronouns :)

I'm here for wattson lol

1:45:22 MY BBY CONDUIT

you should react to warframe trailers you would like em

They only put a single mode once in the Game and they realized that It wasnt good for the Game, many Legends lost their biggest purpose, so they decided to not put It again, its being especulated that a similar límited time gamemode Will come soon

Great video but your mic is way too loud compared to the video's themselves

You got bamboozled. Oh look at you.

Can you add the list reacting ALL Mirror's edge trailers? (Including mirror's edge catalyst) By the way, viper didn't kill that in a trailer. YOU killed viper in Titanfall 2.(Spoilers lol) FUN FACT, Ryan Lastimosa is a filipino worked in Respawn Entertainment and Call of duty. (And some of few games that he worked on) Also, Lastimosa was in Titanfall 2. And Weapon Manufacturer of their guns like R-101, 201, 301, Longbow, etc.

Crazy fact is that bloodhound is actually a girl, but in-game she sounds more like a guy, thats because she wears a mask which makes it sound that way

Looked like he was crying the whole time

What happened to your Dangronpa videos

8:38 a lil too meta joking about not paying for her knife

I’ve watched every vid about apex you have

W

i think homeboy needs to play titanfall again
