Hot Drop: Apex Legends is heading towards Total War ahead of Season 13
Hot Drop is GameSpot’s weekly Apex Legends column in which Jordan Ramée takes a closer look at Respawn’s battle royale to provide more insight into the game’s evolution and gain insight into its episodic story and characters.
Last week I thought I had all the bases covered when I speculated on who Octane’s father was, and the penultimate chapter of the season 12 quest revealed that Eduardo Silva died years earlier, and the imposter impersonate him. But as the Perfect Son ending shows, that’s not the case.
It turns out that Eduardo Silva is actually Torres Silva, Octane’s grandfather. Torres took his place after his son died, and although he was nearly 100 years old, he managed to maintain the appearance of a middle-aged man by taking a special Stim concoction that he always carried with him. fed him with a cane. It was followed by two others: one was expected, the other was not so much.
With Lifeline and Octane stubbornly refusing to see each other’s sides, Apex Legends’ resident doctor finds himself alone on a quest to defeat “Eduardo.” So she goes to Maggie for help, agreeing to work with the freedom fighters to burn down the entire syndicate, even if it acts violently. Given how many legendaries hate syndicates, the duo will likely find plenty of support in the future.
That reveal is obvious. The Perfect Son starts with Maggie warning Lifeline that Octane will let her down and she will eventually crawl to her side. This is a good omen. Meanwhile, another reveal, while also well set, is more surprising.
After successfully uniting all of his syndicates, Torres used his majority stake in Frontier Corps, a publicly funded volunteer program that provides social, medical and economic development across Outland, to turn it into a syndicate, emphasizing The group brought control to the various planets. This new syndicate seems to be better equipped in terms of armor and weapons – the syndicate’s assessment of the group now looks like an army. Torres also made Lifeline’s mother, Cherisse Che, the head of the organization.
This is huge, as Cherisse is a war speculator who rose to prominence by selling weapons to the Militia and the IMC during the events of Titanfall and Titanfall 2. She probably has no interest in running an organization that aims to bring peace to a war-torn pocket galaxy. She may want a war to further her coffers. All she needs now is an enemy to fight, and the perfect son ends with Torres suggesting he might have a plan to help her.
Basically, Torres is unleashing the Palpatine energy of the big Star Wars right now. Apex Legends is starting to feel like what Star Wars did between The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones, with one man putting himself in a position where he could play both sides of the conflict he planned to influence multiple groups and come out with huge strength.
It is unclear what the “other side” of this conflict will be. Given the 20-year journey between the two, this supposed war probably won’t take place between Outland and the Inner World. If I had guessed, I would have assumed that Torres was preparing to go to war with other Outlands than the Syndicate. The Syndicate is the dominant force in Outland, directly controlling Talos, Boreas, Solace, and Tartarus, while also overseeing the governing bodies of Psamathe, Gaea, and Salvo. But there are many other planets in Outland, classified as fringe worlds and not controlled by the Syndicate. Attempting to conquer the edge world by force could lead to a civil war in Outland, especially with someone like Maggie serving as a symbol of the Resistance Syndicate in Apex Games.
I’m most likely wrong about all of this. If you haven’t planned a war, I just don’t understand why an army was created – if Torres and Cheris hadn’t led Outland to war, they must have needed an army to do something else. I just can’t imagine what else that would have been thing.
This will also be a good guide for the new Titanfall game. Maybe not Titanfall 3 – I don’t see Respawn supporting both service games at the same time – but another game in the Titanfall universe that explores the brewing game from a wider perspective than the narrow perspective offered by Apex Legends conflict.Had allusion Apex Legends is working on a new Titanfall game, and Respawn vaguely teased in September 2021 that more Titanfall is coming, but there’s no official info to back up my theory. We’ll have to wait and see.
Regardless, Apex Legends seems to be heading for total war, even if we don’t get a new game in the Titanfall universe. As such, we may see stories like Titanfall and Titanfall 2 make their way into battle royale games soon. If it does, it will be interesting to see how it affects the ongoing storyline in Legends, and how it creates a split and a small civil war between Apex Legends’ playable characters.
