Apex Legends players decode easter egg tying Bloodhound to Titanfall Respawn EntertainmentApex Legends players spotted and decoded a Titanfall easter egg that Respawn left on Bloodhound, giving a great nod to the character\u2019s deep-rooted origins in the classic franchise. Respawn are experts at integrating incredible callbacks to lore or clues for future content within the battle royale. The studio has also dabbled in easter eggs that span the entire Apex Arena just to activate another, bigger animation. So many Apex players come from the incredible multiplayer or memorable campaigns from Titanfall that a tribute linking the two titles is always welcomed by Respawn\u2019s longtime supportive community. One such enthusiast is user \u2018Who_is_Ikarus\u2019 who noticed some writing on the side of Bloodhound\u2019s helmet. After lining up the symbols, they decoded the string of Japanese letters with a translator. The translation returned it as simply \u2018Titan fall.\u2019 While it\u2019s a bit on the nose, as far as the teaser and its link to Respawn\u2019s other titles, knowing a bit of Bloodhound\u2019s creation as a character starts to give the easter egg more life. Long before most of Apex Legends was even developed, Respawn created the massive universe and residual characters for their first game Titanfall. In the concept artbook for the beloved series, there\u2019s a page featuring unfinished character models, and one of them that bears a striking resemblance to the Technological Tracker. Apparently, Bloodhound, which would have presumably taken a different name and backstory, was planned to be a part of that series but wasn\u2019t used. The assets for the model were eventually picked up at a later time, resulting in the Legend we know today. That\u2019s been a great piece of trivia for lots of fans up to this point, and it\u2019s even more endearing that the devs recognized it in the game. Some people think this could be alluding to Bloodhound\u2019s past in the lead up to the Games, while others are just regarding it as an awesome call back to Respawn history. Respawn will undoubtedly have more information about Bloodhound as Apex Legends develops, which could have a few more nods to Titanfall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
