Throughout the entertainment medium, you'll often find that artists and animators love to reference their favorite influences and inspirations via direct examples, or faster revives even sometimes as hidden easter eggs. Revenant happens to have a rarely occurring animation when summoning his Ultimate ability called Death Totem. He will do a series of hand signs that are directly from the famous manga and anime series Naruto . This makes perfect sense considering the Naruto franchise focuses on ninjas, which were a direct inspiration for Revenant's charac

In the past few weeks, I've twice watched someone back out of a game because I chose the character they wanted to play. Both times, it was because my game defaulted to the character because I didn't make a selection. In one instance, I even apologized after noticing the other player had wanted to be the character I had chosen, but the player backed out anyway. It's important to note that in Apex Legends , selection order is randomized. In both cases, my name popped up first on the selection menu, meaning I had every right to choose whichever character I wanted to play. Regardless, backing out for something so mundane is problematic because my team is forced to play the game as a squad of two up against squads of three, which makes the game much more diffic

For those unfamiliar with the Battle Pass system, it is a one time purchase (usually around $10) that unlocks a ton of in-game cosmetic rewards. However, players have to level up or progress through the battle pass tier to unlock each reward. Games like Fortnite or Apex Legends reward players with new character skins, emotes, weapon skins, etc. Battle passes are also only available for a limited time which is usually referred to as a "season," and the items that are offered through the battle pass can only be obtained during this seasonal window. This encourages players to purchase the battle pass and grind through the tier before the season is over so they don't miss out on these exclusive sk

Just like with the Off The Record skin discussed in the last entry, the Bootlegger skin has a sister skin that's pretty much a palette swap. This one also happens to be the variant that places an emphasis on red, black, and white as its color focus. This skin makes Loba look very dapper and fits into the aesthetic theme of the entire season. People will often use the phrase "dressed to kill" and Loba is communicating every bit of it with this outfit. It could also be mistaken as someone's created character in Red Dead Onli

He points out that big organizations such as 100 Thieves and FaZe haven’t invested in the game’s competitive scene. And, perhaps in part due to his role with SoaR, he can look at it realistically from a business perspect

Recently, I was matched with someone whose name was a play on the coronavirus. Perhaps merely evidence of a juvenile sense of humor, it hits different when 23,000 people in your city have died of the vi

_ Apex Legends _ won Best Multiplayer Game at the 2019 Game Awards and Online Game of the Year at the DICE Awards . With Respawn having recently opened a Vancouver office and projecting a 10-year run for the game, it’s clear the company plans to support the game for the foreseeable future. And, while Respawn is investing in _ Apex Legends _ as an esport, there are questions as to how it may fare among other competitive games. But Dazs is optimis

With seemingly every game having a battle pass system it raises the question, which is best? Of course, the answer is subjective, and while some battle passes may be better than others it should not be seen as a reflection of the overall game. While some battle passes offer extraordinary rewards, the game itself may not be worth playing to obtain those rewards. Some games are great works of art that can be incredibly fun, but maybe the battle pass isn't worth the extra $10. Regardless, this article will lay out what each battle pass has to offer for some of the biggest games out right

Apex Legends is a very successful battle royale game by Respawn Entertainment that saw a lot of growth due to its free-to-play model as well as its ability to focus on representation and inclusion in its character roster. Over the last year plus they've done a great job at adding additional legends with unique personalities of their own. One of their most recent is man-turned-machine named Revenant that happens to be a murderous hitman for a crime syndicate. Let's now go over 10 things you didn't know about Revenant from Apex Legen

Wraith is one of the 3 legends who have a skin that is gifted to players once they purchase the battle pass for Season 5. The other two are Revenant and Bloodhound, and out of the 3, she sadly has the least interesting skin. It shouldn't be too much of a bummer as Wraith has plenty of rock-solid skins, and her skin for Season 5 isn't too shabby itself. There doesn't seem to be a lot of rhyme or reason for the way it's colored and that lack of cohesion makes the thing feel messy and less interesting over
