As Apex Legends Season 20: Breakout comes to a close, players are eagerly anticipating what Season 21 has in store for them. Developer Respawn Entertainment recently released a new episode of Stories From The Outlands titled Based On A True Story, which sheds light on the upcoming Legend, Alter. This enigmatic portal-hopping anomaly seems to have a complex background that is both intriguing and shrouded in mystery.
Narrated by Alter herself, Based On A True Story hints at the possibility that Alter is not from the same dimension as the other Legends. While details about her origin are scarce, it is clear that Alter has a tragic past, with her parents presumably being murdered. However, Alter embraces the enigma surrounding her identity, relishing in the ambiguity and hinting at being an unreliable narrator.
Alter is depicted as a highly skilled fighter who has been trained as an assassin by a secretive organization. Physically, she bears resemblance to a cyberpunk tiefling, sporting horn-like antennae on her head and a mechanical arm reminiscent of Doc Ock from Spiderman. Despite her mostly human appearance, Alter’s voice has a robotic tone to it, aligning her with other robotic Legends like Ash, Pathfinder, and Revenant.
Throughout the episode, Alter showcases her prowess by entering and exiting portals made of shattered glass, a detail that echoes Wraith’s arrival in the Apex Legends dimension. The episode also hints at a possible connection between Alter and other Legends such as Bloodhound, Horizon, and even Revenant. Alter’s cryptic statement at the end of the trailer leaves viewers questioning her true intentions and ties to the existing cast of characters.
While Based On A True Story does not provide concrete answers about Alter’s origins, it does reveal that she is fluent in Cantonese, showcasing her multilingual abilities. The episode leaves fans speculating about Alter’s role in the Apex Games and her potential impact on the overarching narrative of the game.
As players eagerly await the arrival of Alter in Apex Legends Season 21, the enigmatic nature of this new Legend continues to spark curiosity and intrigue. With her mysterious background, unique abilities, and cryptic connections to other characters, Alter is poised to leave a lasting impression on the ever-evolving world of Apex Legends. Only time will tell what secrets and revelations Season 21 has in store for Alter and the rest of the Legends.
