Apex Legends' Lifeline has killed a country's worth of people

When you look at Lifeline, Apex Legends' sole healer, you wouldn't automatically assume that she's a cold-hearted killer. But clearly she - and her impeccably styled space buns - mean business if this new Apex Legends Mobile trailer is anything to go by.

That's because we now know that canonically Lifeline has killed 38,423 legends over the course of the games - that's more than the populations of Gibraltar and Liechtenstein (thanks @gekkonova) . Brutal, right? It is when you consider 29,675 of those were headshots. Her lifetime stats flash up briefly in the trailer (around the 0:46 mark) when Mirage assembles his team to take on Wraith - who's understandably been dominating the games. She is, after all, one of the best legends in the game according to our Apex Legends tier list.

While Lifeline's uncharacteristic brutality is perhaps the most shocking from the trailer, we also get a little insight to Mirage and Gibraltar's stats too - and they are no where near as impressive.

Apex Legends lobby shows off Newcastle and Bangalore's sibling rivalry

Season 13 of Apex Legends kicked off earlier this week and players are discovering a host of new updates and working their way through a new battle pass. However, some of the new additions are doing a good bit of heavy lifting when it comes to building out the lore and relationships of the characters in the game.

And, one of those relationships that already exist within the universe is Bangalore and Newcastle being siblings. A new lobby animation (spotted by 'itslik2002' on Reddit) when both legends are chosen shows off the rivalry that has formed between both of them over the years adding a nice dose of levity to the serious matches that take place within the universe.

It's always great to see this kind of touch in multiplayer games and battle royales as it really helps breathe life into all of the characters, even when it might seem minor in the grand scheme of things.

Apex Legends has made more than $2 billion in three years

Apex Legends has just drawn the curtains on Season 12 - it's most successful one to date. And while that might usually be a cause for celebration, Electronic Arts and Respawn are celebrating something another milestone: reaching $2 billion in lifetime earnings.

The milestone was first flagged as a possibility in August 2021 by Blake Jorgensen, EA's former chief financial officer, and now, nine months later, EA has confirmed in the Q4 2022 report that figure has been achieved.

It's a monumental achievement for a game that has just celebrated its third birthday, especially given how much competition the battle royale genre offers. But it's clear that the team aren't slowing down. Chris Shuh, the current CFO, notes that Apex Legends is up 40% in net bookings for the year - a figure which is set to grow, especially since executives expect the game to make a billion dollars every year from here on out.

Apex Legends Saviors has added some super relatable idle animations

Apex Legends Saviors went live worldwide yesterday, and already the community is cracking up at a selection of hilarious (and super relatable) idle animations that add to the characterisation we saw with the Apex Legends Saviors reveal trailer, as well as the narrative trailer that introduced the defensive legend reason for entering the games.

Newcastle, who previously did some soldiering alongside Apex Legends favourite Bangalore has since settled down and had a kid away from the action. However, now that he’s been sprung back into gunfights while posing as a famous fighter, we’re able to see breaks in his facade that expose the softy he really is.

The community on Reddit were quick to flock to one animation where Bangalore appears to mock her longtime friend for this bizarre appearance in the Apex games. Strutting in from off screen, we see her nail Newcastle’s signature pose, take a jab at his sweet visor, and poke at his newfound parental figure. All the while we see Newcastle tanking the friendly banter like the frontline support he is.
