Apex Legends Season 19: Ignite is just around the corner, and Respawn Entertainment has taken a unique and amusing approach to the tone of the Season 19 launch trailer. Unlike previous trailers, this one features a Disney princess-esque musical number and a duet with the unexpected character, Revenant. The trailer showcases the newest legend, Conduit, and provides hints at her abilities while incorporating humor and musicality.
The trailer opens with Mirage, Gibraltar, and Conduit sitting around a table, attempting to come up with ideas for the launch trailer. This scene, in itself, is intriguing as it suggests that these seasonal trailers are part of the Apex Legends’ canon. It also implies that each new legend has a say in how they are portrayed. After rejecting a few ideas, Mirage proposes a “showier” approach, leading to a side-splittingly hilarious musical number.
The trailer then transitions to Conduit standing atop a cliff on the Storm Point map, passionately singing her heart out. With her impressive vocal chops, voice actress Frankie Kevitch brings Conduit’s character to life. However, her performance is unexpectedly interrupted by Revenant, who appears behind her, joining in with his own dark and demon-like tune.
Conduit is abruptly snapped back to reality, finding Revenant present at their trailer-planning meeting. Clearly displeased, Revenant flatly states his opposition to the notion of being featured in a song. Despite his nonchalant response, Gibraltar admits that he enjoyed the musical number, adding a touch of humor.
The trailer cleverly references Vanellope Von Schweetz’s solo in Wreck-It Ralph’s sequel, where Disney princesses advise her on the importance of finding “important water” as part of a successful princess song. Conduit, demonstrating her inner Disney princess, appears to gaze wistfully into what seems to be a coffee mug. Her reflection ripples on the water’s surface, symbolizing introspection and self-discovery.
The scene then transitions to a more traditional Apex Legends trailer, featuring a catchy song (not sung by Conduit) and showcasing highlights of her first Apex match. Through the footage, players catch a glimpse of Conduit’s unique abilities. She appears to possess powers similar to Ash’s Arc Snare tactical, freezing enemy squad members, including Ash herself. Additionally, Conduit is seen imbuing her fellow team members with energy, suggesting she can either repair damaged shields or provide a temporary hit-point boost.
The trailer also shows Conduit running through Bangalore’s Rolling Thunder ultimate ability, with her entire squad surviving the blast unscathed. This suggests that Conduit possesses the ability to strengthen not only her own shields but also those of her teammates. Her defensive prowess could prove invaluable in team-based gameplay.
After successfully defeating Bangalore and her squad, Conduit’s hands begin to shake, and electricity appears to course through her veins. This subtle moment suggests that Conduit may not be fully familiar with her abilities or that she may lose control over them at times. While this may not directly impact gameplay, it adds an intriguing layer to her character’s lore.
The trailer concludes with an exciting announcement—the debut of the upcoming gameplay trailer for Apex Legends Season 19: Ignite. Fans can expect the trailer to drop on Thursday, October 26, at 8 AM PT / 11 AM ET. As the new season approaches, stay tuned for more news and don’t forget to complete your Resurrection battle pass and unlock all the free loot from the Doppelganger Collection Event before the season ends.
Apex Legends Season 19: Ignite introduces the new legend, Conduit, in a refreshingly different launch trailer. The incorporation of a Disney princess-esque musical number, along with comedy and glimpses of Conduit’s abilities, adds a lighthearted yet intriguing twist. With her unique powers and the potential for unforeseen challenges, Conduit promises an exciting addition to the Apex Legends roster. Be sure to catch the upcoming gameplay trailer to witness her in action and prepare for the thrill of Season 19.
