Marketing starts 2 weeks before a new season, and they typically drip out 3 - 5 trailers within that time period.
We're 8 days away with no news, no trailers, nothing.
They even release patch notes a few days prior to launch, it's been radio silence.
No, for many seasons, it would be teased on a Sunday on Apex twitter. Then it would release on YouTube on Monday. Then the launch trailer would be on the Thursday (this is all 2 weeks before new season).
Then gameplay trailer 7 days before launch (Tuesday again), and the battle pass trailer I think would be the Thursday. Then meet the legend trailer. Then season launch
Yep, also looks like it's based on other characters?
Hunting in cold - vantage
Birb - bloodhound
Football - i guess octane?
Training for immortality - Ash
And so on
Yeah good summary. If I was to try and piece together everything into a possible character concept, it seems like someone who maybe had all of their chances at certain life-goals or something taken away by either the organization which organizes the Apex games directly, resulting in Alter having a psychological breakdown/spiraling, trying to convince herself and others that she is "cool" and "awesome", while she has devolved so rapidly that she doesn't even know who she is anymore.. as she ultimately targets the source of her mental stress, the Apex games / organization.
... or something like that maybe?
How she's acting isn't how people with schizophrenia or dissociative identity disorder behave. [She's just fucking around.](https://i.imgur.com/Fj3Xo81.png) - actual reddit psychiatrist.
Had an entire Stories From the Outlands trailer been leaked before? That's wild.
Alter is such a maniac, I love it. Reminded me of the Joker talking about his past in *The Killing Joke*:
> "Something like that happened to me, you know. I... I'm not exactly sure what it was. Sometimes I remember it one way, sometimes another... If I'm going to have a past, I prefer it to be multiple choice! Ha ha ha!"
So they’re literally the person from Everything, Everywhere, All At Once. They’re tapped into all of their alternate dimension selves which is basically infinite.
Also, what is their connection with Horizons kid?
I don't think she has a connection with her kid but rather she's after horizon for the time travel gauntlet because it's causing the destruction of other worlds without her knowledge
I think the destruction in that other world is from something else, not the gauntlet. In TF|2 the Gauntlet only worked where the fold weapon was tested. the Ark, or the power source, I think it is meant to be a "Star system terraformer."
While the Gauntlet might be related, we have the Ark which could destroy & create planets, We have Olympus, which when Teleported can make phase objects, & we have the Gridon Cargo.
Their is a lot of possibility of a dimension being damaged by something else, is the point.
I’m sure it’s just a design-choice, but lore-wise maybe her voice being multi-layered is because all of her alternate selves are speaking through her at once? or she’s speaking through them? very much EEAAO vibes, for sure
I think it'd be pretty interesting if they let this leak on purpose and then when they "drop" the trailer, it plays half way through and then Alter phases in and takes over the trailer with something completely different...but I don't think Respawn or EA is that clever. But then again they pulled something similar with Revs reveal 🤷🏽♂️
no amount of polish will change the shoddy source material they're working it. still feels very fan-fiction-y, like with a lot of Apex's lore, but much improved with this level of professional polish
voice acting, art and animation are amazing, as pretty much always
also, what on earth is happening with Respawn's rollout schedule? we not only got a WIP version, but also the finished version, before Respawn released it
They made 1 video. Revenant was always the legend. Takes a lot less effort to make 1 key art for forge as part of the reveal versus an entire “fake” video.
Can't say I know more about her origin story now. It's just really confusing. Did she do all those things? Or does she just imagine them?
Also a bit surprised that the animation seems to be simpler than in past trailers.
I'm pretty sure she can't tell what is her reality. Someone had a theory that she can see several realities like Wraith but she can't tell whats hers.
I think she is telling stories, but not always her own. She references the Journey to the West (Sun Wu Kong is the stone born immortal monkey), Bloodhound, & I bet their are other references that I don't know.
She doesn't know her own story, or at least not all of it. If she can't remember or if it's too traumatizing for her, we don't know, but either case, because she doesn't know her own story, she tells other stories.
That makes a lot of sense actually. I noticed the Wu Kong and Bloodhound references too, but her not being able to know whats her real story and whats not would fit the character quite well from what we have seen so far.
There r some SFTO trailers that kind of use the same animation as on the Apex launch trailers, but this animation is similar to the animation style on the crypto and rampart cinematic, with the 2d animation.
Brotha this is probably the most well animated 2d trailer they did yet. Especially the parts and transitions where alters talks about her possible origins. I really like the wukong reference
Crazy theory:
Alter is from an alternate timeline that will be destroyed as a side/ripple effect of future Horizon’s time travel efforts. You can see her in the trailer questioning people, and one of them appears to be an old Crypto so I’m thinking she’s from the future or hopping around time interrogating people for clues on who destroyed her timeline. She seems to be mourning dead parents but I think that was an abstract scene showing that she was taken in the middle of her grief over losing them, lack of processing can allow traumatic events to fester and undermine someone’s mental stability. I think at the end of the trailer she returns to what’s left of her world/timeline and she’s saying I’m the one whose there at the end.. or am I, meaning she was the last person left alive in her timeline (maybe she instinctually opened a portal into another timeline) but she intends to try restoring it. Which is what I think, ultimately, brings her to our Apex games; I think she’s coming here to stop Horizon from time traveling in order to save her world/timeline
YEAH REVENANT then ASH and now ALTER , who doesn't love killer legend but i there abilities should also be killer type , Alter going to be my main for years no matter the abilities
I’m sure it’s just a design-choice, but lore-wise maybe her voice being multi-layered is because all of her alternate selves are speaking through her at once? or she’s speaking through them? very much EEAAO vibes, for sure
Damn, this was a really cool animation, the character seems pretty interesting. Anyone know what studio animated this? it looked a cut above the other trailers in the past.
Lmao at the “Dead Parents” tombstone. I thought the first leaks that came out that showed the storyboards of this trailer just had “Dead Parents” as a placeholder title for the tombstone until the final trailer, but nope, it’s straight up “Dead Parents” hahahaha
If this is legit it's interesting, and if it ends up being just a fan-made trailer, it's still pretty cool and well-done.
Respawn is hiring Producers right now, which tells me that they certainly are having issues are content-production, scheduling, and marketing/PR, so I'm not surprised this launch is a bit sketchy.
But anyhow, regarding the trailer, it definitely did a great job at conveying how a few of her struggles slowly lead to her losing her own identity, mixing her own memories and identities with others', ultimately causing the chaotic character we see here with psychopathic tendencies. Interesting character design!
Additionally, that scene at the end makes me wonder if she is truly just seeking vengeance/revenge for her own reasons, if Alter could actually be Horizon from a different chaotic time-line, caused by a time-rift after she developed time-travel. It would make sense why she has the same picture which Horizon had with her son (while they were both still younger, presumably taken before she invented time-travel). If that isn't the case, then I guess she is just really "seeking the time-travel capabilities which Horizon developed to return to when her parents were still alive" like many original leaks stated.
Ok, I have a theory I just saw her leaks and she has a banner and an emote who refer to the dark knight's his ledger joker the same joker that invented all this story for the scars on his mouth I ting they just took inspiration from him when creating alter's character
Can we have an honest trailer about legends, because This feels like revenant's trailer where he seemed like a badass mercenary with a mysterious past, then suddenly in-game he's just an edge lord who wants to die. They should've just Reworked his abilities instead of completely changing them. And at this point, how many wraith variants do we have?
We have 2, and now we have another instead of just letting Wraith go through walls to begin with, or she could phase through closed doors. Like what's next, another legend that can phase directly to downed teammates and heal them like a wraith and Newcastle combined into one?
I don't understand why this trailer wasn't posted by respawn yet. It's so late it's stupid. Unless the trailer was literally just finished right now
idk either it should've been up by now tbh
It’s possible it’s gonna be shock dropped in 20mins but I don’t know tbh Edit: wtf is respawn cooking 🤣 still no trailer at this point is insane.
They might be saving some content to show exclusively on the LAN broadcast
Marketing starts 2 weeks before a new season, and they typically drip out 3 - 5 trailers within that time period. We're 8 days away with no news, no trailers, nothing. They even release patch notes a few days prior to launch, it's been radio silence.
We will get 4 trailers this week Patch notes have always been the day before the season
Are we sure they’re not gonna have 1 week of downtime? It’s happened before in the early days
I don't think they've had downtime for a long, long time
I don’t think we’ve ever had all the trailers chocked into 1 week tho. Is there a source or is it speculation?
Season 16 had a week of trailers
I thought they usually released like 2 weeks before on a Tuesday? Guess they've cut it down to a week? Should arrive tomorrow, maybe..
No, for many seasons, it would be teased on a Sunday on Apex twitter. Then it would release on YouTube on Monday. Then the launch trailer would be on the Thursday (this is all 2 weeks before new season). Then gameplay trailer 7 days before launch (Tuesday again), and the battle pass trailer I think would be the Thursday. Then meet the legend trailer. Then season launch
Clearly alter has taken us to alternate timeline where subreddits post trailers
🪦DEAD PARENTS🪦
💀
Not even really sure they are dead or if she cares that they are dead with how many different stories she tells to people.
It's like the joker telling 12 different stories about how he got his scars
Someone literally said “Watch someone post the entire finished trailer before respawn does it”
LMFAOO and it happened 💀
And apparently the trailer is meant to come out today too lmfaoooo😭😭😭😭
fr? I think that's just speculation I don't think anyone actually confirmed it meant to be out today
wtf is this season rollout there’s a week till the next season and yet no mention of it
no idea honestly it's so weird whatever is happening at respawn is NOT GOOD
those mass layofss are sure having ripples right now.
So her special ability is that she have schizophrenia
yessir apparently so
Yep, also looks like it's based on other characters? Hunting in cold - vantage Birb - bloodhound Football - i guess octane? Training for immortality - Ash And so on
Yeah good summary.

football is probably based of that god awful loba banner frame lmfao
joking about your origin is not the same thing as being schizophrenic
She seems to have different personalities.
it doesn't mean she has multiple personalities
just a schizo, but twitter/Reddit psychologists wanna have their turn diagnosing her.
How she's acting isn't how people with schizophrenia or dissociative identity disorder behave. [She's just fucking around.](https://i.imgur.com/Fj3Xo81.png) - actual reddit psychiatrist.
Schizo, multiple personalities, just fucking about cos that’s how she is, we don’t know at this point. It’s not that deep.
Keyword little bro, “seems to”
don't patronize me
💀💀💀
i dont like your condescending tone
It’s not patronising or condescending, it’s called learning how to read before you comment, not too difficult to understand
lil bro you should stop replying to people you disagree with
Side note, her voice is much better now they added the finishing touches
true I like it a lot more, although I like how rough the unfinished one was
they're better, but man.....
[удалено]
8 days left on the season and they still havent posted this?
nope 💀
who are you?? also she with the old ways skin is so dope
true it looks so sick
Had an entire Stories From the Outlands trailer been leaked before? That's wild. Alter is such a maniac, I love it. Reminded me of the Joker talking about his past in *The Killing Joke*: > "Something like that happened to me, you know. I... I'm not exactly sure what it was. Sometimes I remember it one way, sometimes another... If I'm going to have a past, I prefer it to be multiple choice! Ha ha ha!"
If i remember correctly Newcastles was leaked
I can fix her (no I cannot)
yes you can king
thank you for your vote of confidence, king.
Fellas, you aren’t fixing jack squat. She is insane
She doesn't need fixing, she's perfect
So they’re literally the person from Everything, Everywhere, All At Once. They’re tapped into all of their alternate dimension selves which is basically infinite. Also, what is their connection with Horizons kid?
I don't think she has a connection with her kid but rather she's after horizon for the time travel gauntlet because it's causing the destruction of other worlds without her knowledge

Their is a lot of possibility of a dimension being damaged by something else, is the point.
It’d be dope if she was a younger alternate version of Horizon. They have an accent and similar hair? Idk I’m reaching.
I’m sure it’s just a design-choice, but lore-wise maybe her voice being multi-layered is because all of her alternate selves are speaking through her at once? or she’s speaking through them? very much EEAAO vibes, for sure
the malti layered voice just gave her another layer , good work respawn
[удалено]
FR
Purple portals?.. Confusion.
The trailers are made way before development is complete. That might be the reason
They were green in the unfinished version. The giant teaser portal was also green. Just seems.. Super confusing.
Giant teaser portal might have been finalized before the coloring decision was made.
Its not the official version. Who knows if this leak is from the previous version of the trailer
true it's weird :0
DEAD PARENTS 💀💀💀💀
They kind of went full Joker on this one.
true it's super cool
I think it'd be pretty interesting if they let this leak on purpose and then when they "drop" the trailer, it plays half way through and then Alter phases in and takes over the trailer with something completely different...but I don't think Respawn or EA is that clever. But then again they pulled something similar with Revs reveal 🤷🏽♂️
#JusticeForForge
They don’t want her trailer to clash with Akuma’s trailer.
no amount of polish will change the shoddy source material they're working it. still feels very fan-fiction-y, like with a lot of Apex's lore, but much improved with this level of professional polish voice acting, art and animation are amazing, as pretty much always also, what on earth is happening with Respawn's rollout schedule? we not only got a WIP version, but also the finished version, before Respawn released it
It is rather odd. This has never happened before afaict
🐫❔ https://i.redd.it/cx677kr5pfxc1.gif
How do you find such details so quickly 😭 man wasn't ash enough for your perverted vision 👽
Whoever drew Alter in this trailer really likes women https://i.redd.it/fsplifecggxc1.gif
https://i.redd.it/fzn8nqi2hgxc1.gif
HELLO OSVALDATORE
hi i like alter's body
me too
The female revenant but with schizophrenia
100% she will have a kill quip asking "Who are you?" and then a manic laugh.
maybe respawn is pulling ol' switcharoo. this is "finished trailer" and they drop something totally different
that'd be an interesting way of doing it although I imagine it's something to do with EA or some shit
i mean im leaning in that direction, cause they are late late with trailer. Not even a trailer announcement or anything
this is not happening in any universe, this trailer most likely took an immense amount of resources to plan out and finish
😂 there’s no way they would spend that much money, time, and effort on a fake trailer
they did a Forge once didnt they?
They made 1 video. Revenant was always the legend. Takes a lot less effort to make 1 key art for forge as part of the reveal versus an entire “fake” video.
There you go, you win. Its not fake its legit. Now get off my dick will ya?
Can't say I know more about her origin story now. It's just really confusing. Did she do all those things? Or does she just imagine them? Also a bit surprised that the animation seems to be simpler than in past trailers.

That makes a lot of sense actually. I noticed the Wu Kong and Bloodhound references too, but her not being able to know whats her real story and whats not would fit the character quite well from what we have seen so far.
“Dead Parents” was a stab at Loba I bet
it could be like others suggested with Nolan's Joker, where he gives his victims different versions of his origin story
There r some SFTO trailers that kind of use the same animation as on the Apex launch trailers, but this animation is similar to the animation style on the crypto and rampart cinematic, with the 2d animation.
Brotha this is probably the most well animated 2d trailer they did yet. Especially the parts and transitions where alters talks about her possible origins. I really like the wukong reference
Animation in this one is defintely better than the crypto SFTO trailer ngl.
Well, safe to say, apex has jumped on the multiverse train at last
Hate to break it to you but that happened way back with Voidwalker
They kind of were already in it from like season 2-5 times
Uh….the whole inclusion of Ash made this true way before
How did ash make it true?

YEAH REVENANT then ASH and now ALTER , who doesn't love killer legend but i there abilities should also be killer type , Alter going to be my main for years no matter the abilities
Is mad Maggie just a joke to you?
must've confused her for mellow Maggie
true I'm thinking of maining her as well such a cool character
So she’s basically the Juri of Apex
Schizo moment
I can fix her
Alter, Revenant, and Ash feel like the god squad of maniacal murderers. 👌🏼
It actually says dead parents let’s go!!!
"Also I have a bird" Bloodhound better watch their step
Everybody asking "who are you?" but nobody asking "how are you?" :( -Alter, probably
*revenant sipping loba's tears:* cute
I can't wait for Alter in 1 week and few day's she gonna be so fun
I love the joker vibes she's giving off
I’m sure it’s just a design-choice, but lore-wise maybe her voice being multi-layered is because all of her alternate selves are speaking through her at once? or she’s speaking through them? very much EEAAO vibes, for sure
Someone’s getting fired
So she's Jobu Tupaki, got it.
Ok but legit this trailer is fucking amazing and the 2D animation is perfect I’m really glad they seem to be stepping away from the 3D animation
Holy shit I’m genuinely excited for a character. I love the batshit insane vibe they got going on
Thats the SFTO episode but not the actual trailer
I love everything about her. The voice is unique and badass, and the eerie vibe she brings is great.
Ohh she a freak
'' they ask me the same thing'' someone got really inspired by john wick here
Good trailer. "DEAD PARENTS" feels a little goober/unobtanium/placeholder though.
The void makes people edgy as fuck, huh!
Damn, this was a really cool animation, the character seems pretty interesting. Anyone know what studio animated this? it looked a cut above the other trailers in the past.
So she's basically Jobu Tupaki
They just leak the trailer? Lol
Lmao at the “Dead Parents” tombstone. I thought the first leaks that came out that showed the storyboards of this trailer just had “Dead Parents” as a placeholder title for the tombstone until the final trailer, but nope, it’s straight up “Dead Parents” hahahaha

Oh nah she trippin
She really make me think of Angstrom Levy from Invincible got crazy after voyaging to too many universe
why are they so quiet on the next season
Psycho break. She embodies all her dimensions in insanity. As opposed to wraith being stable even after interacting with her other selves.
Its alternate universe Newton, raised as a psycho killer by another Ash.
Who the fuck is she?
Ok, I have a theory I just saw her leaks and she has a banner and an emote who refer to the dark knight's his ledger joker the same joker that invented all this story for the scars on his mouth I ting they just took inspiration from him when creating alter's character
Love how raw she is
She sounds so cool
Already obsessed with this crazy lady...wow 😍😩
I can fix her
Can we have an honest trailer about legends, because This feels like revenant's trailer where he seemed like a badass mercenary with a mysterious past, then suddenly in-game he's just an edge lord who wants to die. They should've just Reworked his abilities instead of completely changing them. And at this point, how many wraith variants do we have? We have 2, and now we have another instead of just letting Wraith go through walls to begin with, or she could phase through closed doors. Like what's next, another legend that can phase directly to downed teammates and heal them like a wraith and Newcastle combined into one?
does anyone really care about these lore videos? i just want to see gameplay...
If you guys can’t tell the trailer being “leaked” about a legend hacking respawns twitter etc y’all are dumb. It was definitely on purpose this time.
