Requesting a return to deep narrative intros and "Stories from the Outlands"
Hi everyone,
I’ve been a massive fan of this universe since Titanfall 2, and I’ve been playing Apex Legends since Season 3. Because I’ve followed the game for so long, I wanted to share some constructive feedback regarding the current state of our character storytelling.
In the past, the "Stories from the Outlands" trailers were absolute highlights for the community. Those cinematics didn't just introduce a new Legend's kit; they gave us a reason to care about them. They explained who they were, their motivations, and how they fit into the larger lore of the Outlands.
Lately, it feels like that narrative depth has taken a backseat. While the gameplay itself remains solid, the "hero" aspect of this hero shooter feels a bit disconnected. When a new Legend drops without a dedicated backstory trailer, it becomes much harder for long-term players to feel invested in their arrival.
Relying on content creators or community speculation to fill in these gaps isn't the same as an official narrative introduction from the studio. The cinematic storytelling was a huge part of what made this game feel alive, and I along with many others who appreciate the lore would love to see a return to those high-quality, story-driven trailers that showcase why a character joins the Games in the first place.
Bringing that narrative "touch" back would go a long way in making every new season feel like a meaningful expansion of the world, rather than just a balance update.
Thanks for your time and for the continued work on the game.
