TIL Apex had writing behind it

It's set in the Titanfall universe, there's lots of lore scattered around. People work hard to integrate a narrative into the level and character designs, to imply plot in incidental dialogue or cinematics, or just literally write text entries that the majority of gamers will never read because only shooting and rare skins trigger their dopamine.

Honestly developer are making great work with how legends talk to each other during game. It's always really cool
