The early character art shows a nearly-completed model for Bloodhound that’s almost exactly like the one featured in Apex Legends, though this iteration features the character wielding both a rifle and a bow. Had the original Titanfall featured a real story mode, Bloodhound seems like the type of character that would have appeared, given the context of Titanfall’s universe. It’s also fairly odd that the character didn’t make an appearance in the Titanfall 2 campaign, as the character would fit well with the story’s themes of exploration and survival.
So far, Apex Legends has been a hit. It’s managed to reach more than 10 million players in the short time since its surprise launch, and even helped EA’s share price surge back after an intense drop. It’ll be interesting to see how the game fares long-term against bigger competition like Fortnite, but so far Respawn is doing a great job of keeping its players engaged and entertained, and will likely continue to do so if content like the leaked ranked mode turn out to be real.
With Respawn stating that it plans on Apex Legends being a 10-year game, it seems pretty likely that other unused character concepts may eventually become a reality within the game. There are a ton of different possibilities that would fit well within the title, and new character updates are arguably the best way to keep fans coming back for more rounds, besides the addition of Solo and Duo play.
Hopefully, Respawn is able to keep fans happy with Apex Legends. Maybe it will be enough to drum up more excitement for the Titanfall premium game releasing in 2019.
Apex Legends is available to download now on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
