๐ the thing that's especially rewarding about this image outside of the wonderful rendition of the legends is that even here they still remain in character. That's a huge compliment to the team. Glad these characters are resonating with people ๐โค๏ธ. *via: SupremeOverlordJen

โช if you ever wondered why Wattson holds her weapons a bit awkwardly compared to say, Bangalore. That's because my niece who provided the MoCap for her had never held a gun before in her life and we wanted to capture this natural innocence in all of Wattson's move sets โก๏ธโค๏ธ

โชOk, this one is a little wild!. This was a super early concept for Revenant's passive: "Stalker" ๐ Here the idea was to have some sort of TRANSFORMATION where he could crouch and continue moving at the same speed uninterrupted. kinda cool, but just over-engineered ๐

โชfor Bangalore's animations, we referenced iconic soldier characters that inspired us in order to create our own. We love to pay homage to great games that have come before us. One such opportunity came for her sprint cycle, which drew inspiration from old school Contra (1988)๐

In Apex we like to throw away 10 years worth of animations and start over each season! ๐ It's just good business ๐๐ผ.
God of war: Ragnarok looks like a clone of 2018 God of war. Even the animations are unchanged.
