When Final Fantasy Vll released, it changed the RPG genre forever.
When Apex Legends dropped, it did something similar to the battle royale scene.

So when we found out these two titans of gaming history were working together on an in-game event, we knew we couldn’t just drop another gameplay trailer. Instead, we paid homage to Final Fantasy Vll: Rebirth’s reveal trailer a year prior, giving it an Apex Twist for The Game Awards that surprised fans of both franchises.

The cinematic was cool and all, but it’s the reactions that make it all worth it.
