Is Revenant replacing Forge in Apex Legends Season 4? EARespawn Entertainment released a teaser diving into new lore for newly announced Apex Legends character Forge and what his bloody encounter with Revenant means for Season 4. The battle royale is close to its one-year launch anniversary on February 4 and it looks like the devs are brewing something special to commemorate the event \u2013 even if it comes at the expense of the 5x Hyper-Fighting Federation Champion. Leaks for the game have been consistently pitting Revenant as the next in line to enter the Apex Games, and while that might be true, players were taken aback when Forge was announced as the Season 4 headliner in Respawns blog update. A statement from OTV regarding the events that took place earlier today. pic.twitter.com\/QvnrrBBRN6 \u2014 Apex Legends (@PlayApex) January 27, 2020 But the dev\u2019s January 27 \u201cspecial episode\u201d starring James (Jimmie) \u2018The Forge\u2019 McCormick and Outlands Television host Lisa Stone threw a wrench in players\u2019 perception of who\u2019s really coming to the battlegrounds when the new season hits. The faux interview introduces Forge as he \u201cfinally\u201d qualifies to enter the Games, but things abruptly turns gruesome when we the Mask of the Red Death, Revenant makes its sudden appearance. There\u2019s a lot of elements in the trailer that\u2019s emblematic to what\u2019s happening in Apex Legends\u2019 development, and Respawn aren\u2019t being subtle with their approach. \u201cHammond Robotics has had my back the entire way,\u201d Forge said just before the vengeful bot Revenant made his on-screen debut behind him. The name of the feature segment \u201cUp Close and Personal\u201d was also foreshadowing how it was going to play out, with Revenant sneaking behind the newly appointed contestant of the Apex Games. Now even EA\u2019s Season 4 page was updated in a meta confirmation that Forge might not be coming to Apex, that is if Respawn isn\u2019t planning yet another trick that will see \u201cthe often imitated\u201d fallen favored son of the Outlands. Meanwhile, it should be no surprise that Revenant will take his place in the game, if the \u201cmysterious Legend\u201d on the update page is to be an indication. Respawn\u2019s bait-and-switch didn\u2019t fool some of the more devote loremasters for Apex Legends, who were hot on the trail of clues that stemmed long before the Season 4 blog detailing the upcoming chapter for the game. Though there\u2019s a good indication of the developer\u2019s intentions, considering the new signage up in World\u2019s Edge, it\u2019ll be exciting for fans to see how Respawn unpacks the next major storyline in Apex Legends.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
