I get a lot of questions like this. It’s great to see passionate writers who want to get into the industry. I’m happy to tell my story, but my story, like many others in the industry, is unique to me. There’s no 1 way, but there is a common element: Passion. So, you’ve begun...

Hi. I’m a writer who wrote & helped create the amazing character: Bloodhound. Since day 1, Bloodhound has been referred to by the pronouns: they/them/their. This is who they are. This is how they identify. It’s okay to struggle with that concept as we grow & evolve...

When I started noticing the transition to a Battle Royale game, as a writer, I was crushed. There’s no story in BR games & because of that, no one would care about my writing. My lead & mentor had left the project & I was left alone not knowing if I still had a job or a purpose.

HI FRIENDS! Unfortunately, human error has occurred in our Pathfinder short. During Pathfinder’s flashbacks, the correct year for the Pathfinder Weatherman is 2715 (not 2658). It was a cute Easter Egg for our Titanfall fans, so I wanted to clarify to avoid confusion. Thank you!

I remember 5 years ago writing Ash to be a character you killed, but after deciding to have her be an MP faction leader, we found a way to rebuild her so she could live on.... It’s pretty amazing to see where she lived on to.

Ash intro’d Arenas.

...but none of them compare to Professor Milly Delgado - who has no lines in the short and only like 10 lines in the book. She's my favorite person ever.

When I first wrote Ash for Titanfall 2, we began with temp voices in the game. Feedback wasn’t great, but we kept saying to wait until the real voice actor gets in. Finally, the moment everyone heard
@AnnaWillTweet
in the role - she was instantly beloved. That’s the power of VAs!
Revenge is merely an opportunity for improvement. 🐀

In Titanfall/Apex, the Frontier was discovered by a “New Space Race” that didn’t involve countries, but instead, corporations who wanted to evolve space travel.
This eventually led to the Corporate Wars and the inevitable reign of the IMC.

I’d rather support the idea that there’s an alternate universe where Revenant owns a Tea House where you can get delicious and rare teas as well as scrumptious baked treats split into five courses. His personality doesn’t change, but he’s just really likes tea. Revenan-Tea!

Do you support the idea of there being an alternate universe where Revenant literally kills the entire outlands(like Deadpool kills the marvel universe type deal)
