Renowned for its character-driven storytelling, Apex Legends' Season 21 introduces significant updates and the introduction of Alter.
She brings a host of unique abilities poised to disrupt the game's meta. Her passive ability, Gift From The Rift, enables her to detect and loot items from deathboxes through walls, while her tactical ability, Void Passage, creates two-way portals for swift traversal. Additionally, her ultimate ability, Void Nexus, deploys an interactive portal device for player transportation.
Respawn Entertainment has recently unveiled captivating content that intertwines the backstory of the new legend, Alter, with that of Dr. Somers, also known as Horizon. The latest story reveal trailer, titled "Altered Horizons," unveils Alter's connection to Horizon's narrative. The trailer commences with a recorded message from Dr. Somers' son, Newton, affirming his belief that Horizon has returned to him, as promised.
What did the trailer reveal about Horizon and Alter?
A time-travelling device lies on a table while Elliott (Mirage) and Ajay (Lifeline) engage in conversation with Horizon about the device's potential. Following a sudden blackout, Dr. Somers loses sight of the device and her teammates, leading to a confrontation with Alter, who has stolen the device and captured Mirage and Lifeline.
As Alter battles the team, it becomes apparent that she possesses intimate knowledge of Horizon's capabilities, suggesting a deeper connection between the two characters.
What can players expect moving forward?
Developing Alter as Apex Legends' latest villain involved an intricate process led by Ian Holstead and Jaclyn Seto. Narrative lead Ashley Reed explains the team's intent to introduce a truly malevolent character, distinct from previous misunderstood characters like Ash.
Jaclyn's integration of personal cultural elements, including Cantonese, added depth to Alter's development. With the release of Alter's backstory trailer, Apex Legends players eagerly await further revelations to uncover the true connection between Horizon and Alter.
