The recent teaser included several anime references, but Respawn Entertainment has yet to drop any hints as to whatApex Legendsfans canexpect in the future. The teaser also included a table with a statue of a Valkyrie on it, which could be a hidden reference to an upcoming Legend in the game which captivated fans of the game who are unfamiliar with anime.
Dedicated anime fans will recognize the familiarMy Hero Academiamanga on the shelf next to the Nessie plush due to its colors and the small image of characters such as Deku, Kacchan, and Shoto located at the bottom of the spine. The hidden reference toLand of the Lustrousis less obvious to those who aren’t fans of the series as the four manga volumes in the image referencing the series don’t have as much detail as the others.
The reference toDeath Noteis even more obvious as anime fans can basically make out the name of the series on a big black cover that encompasses six issues.
The table intheApex Legendsteaserincludes several small references including a calendar with several dates in April circled (including April 21st), several candy bars, a map with two locations circled, a red jacket, and a letter with the name Vinson at the bottom. ManyApex Legendsfans have taken to the comment section of the recent teaser image, suggesting that a new update will release on April 21st –the jacket located on the table belongs to Mia, and the name of the upcoming legend will be Vinson. The Valkyrie statue located on the table has been used to tease the upcoming legend before, suggesting that the new character will be able to soar through the sky.
Apex Legendsis available right now for Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
