Fans On Reddit Discuss Apex Legends S5 Launch Trailer

After Respawn released the official trailer for the new season, fans instantly took a liking for it. While some lauded the devs for fittingly hyping up Loba, some couldn’t wait to jump into combat with her.

Meanwhile, a Reddit user u/Curvypotatoes created a thread named “ThIs GaMe Is DeAd” on the subreddit r/apexlegends. Recognizable from the font used for the thread’s caption, it is aimed at people who suggested the game is dead, yet the launch trailer topped the Trending section of YouTube.

Soon, many others from the Apex Legends community actively engaged in the conversation, providing a wide range of opinions. You can check out the thread (linked above) for yourself.

So far, we know that Loba arrives with Season 5, dubbed Fortune’s Favor, on May 12. Other additions will include a brand new Battle Pass, Ranked Series, and Quests mode, among others. What did you think of the launch trailer? Let us know in the comments section below!
