Forge, the heavily-promoted Legend, did not last long. Especially once Revenant entered the picture… literally.

In the new Assimilation launch trailer, Respawn has confirmed the arrival of Revenant, the latest threat in the world of Apex Legends and the headlining hitman of the battle royale’s fourth season.

Here’s what we know about this frightening mercenary:

Revenant used to be human. He was the greatest hitman the Mercenary Syndicate ever had. But when his programming eventually failed, he saw what Hammond Robotics had turned him into: a walking nightmare of steel and vestigial flesh. The return of Hammond Robotics to the Outlands has renewed his thirst for vengeance, and he won’t stop until they’re all dead. Of course, he doesn’t mind eviscerating a few Legends along the way.

This more-machine-than-man certainly eviscerates the opposition in the bloody trailer. The mechanized horror dispatches an entire room of bodyguards before turning his attention to the target.

No matter how tragic the narrative, Respawn has put a lot of effort into creating stylized, well-produced shorts that expand the lore of Apex Legends, and it’s exciting to see the stories of these Legends unfold away from the battlegrounds.
