Apex Legends | Stories from the Outlands – 'Up Close and Personal'

James “The Forge” McCormick earned his way into the Apex Games by way of the Hyper-Fighting Federation. With his charm, looks, and signature shiny medallion, he’s been hailed as the “People’s Champion.” While some think he’s not ready for the Games, Jimmy’s confident his industrial-mining Shatter Gauntlets will crush any doubts. And with the full backing of Hammond Robotics, Forge is poised to make his mark in the Arena.

Apex Legends™ is a free-to-play battle royale game where legendary characters battle for glory, fame, and fortune on the fringes of the Frontier.

Props to the camera man who managed to save his studio by making sure the kill happened off camera

For those that don’t know the backstory here all the previous legends were data mined so as a joke the developers created Forge, even going as far to create a character portrait and a fake move set in the game files. So imagine everyone’s surprise when they saw this trailer.

Revenant: “As you wish”

2 years later and we still don’t know how unlucky forge had to be getting killed both by irony and the most intimidating legend in the game.
