A lot of fans of Respawn are happy to have Apex Legends. The game continues to improve each new content release, and best of all, it’s starting to introduce elements of another popular Respawn series. Titanfall is one of the best mech fighters we’ve had in recent years. Titanfall 2 in particular felt like the start of something really special, but Respawn is focused on Apex Legends for now. That doesn’t mean they can’t bridge the two together, however, and that’s just what they’re doing with a new hero.

Valkyrie, the newest hero to join the Apex Legends lineup, is a direct tie-in to the world of Titanfall. Respawn wrote a description for the character that includes mention of the Hero’s abilities, including what could be a killer Ultimate ability. Respawn writes that Valkyrie fights “with the help of the remnants of her father’s Northstar Titan.” That’s a direct connection to Titanfall and one of the titans playable in Titanfall 2‘s multiplayer. If we see more from the Titanfall world enter Apex Legends, fans might feel a bit better about not getting a full-fledged game anytime soon.

The best part is that this recent batch of news isn’t all Respawn is offering up. The studio promises more Apex Legends news this week. That’s great news for the game which feels to really be hitting its stride in a way that expands what players can enjoy. I think the game is largely slept on as the Battle Royale market shores up its fanbases. If you like Apex Legends, then let us know if you plan to try out Valkyrie when she drops into the game.
