Apex Legendsā Revenant is a relentless hitman motivated by revenge, but his reign of terror isnāt limited to the Apex universe. One of his animations startled streamer āAnneMunitionā mid-stream today, causing her to step away from her chair in fear.
Revenantās loading screen animation makes the character pace around the main menu, looking menacingly at the other side of the screen. If that wasnāt unsettling enough, the legend will actually pounce on the screen if left alone for enough time.
The streamer was caught by surprise when the shadowy character jumped toward her and she stepped away from the computer, visibly shocked. āI donāt like that,” AnneMunition said. “What the fuck was that?ā
The animation didnāt stop there. Revenant appears on the screen once again with his head held high, as if he was laughing. āWhy?ā the streamer asked. āThat scared me so bad.ā
AnneMunition wasnāt the only one to fall for Revenantās tricks. Respawn community manager Jay Frechette shared his sympathy with the streamer. āI had the same reaction in my first playtest where this got put into the game,ā he tweeted.
Moy Parra, one of Apexās animation artists, laughed at the situation. āMission accomplished,ā he tweeted, tagging fellow animator Joe Bowers.
Revenant made his way to Apex during the battle royaleās fourth season, which debuted today. The character is a simulacrum, a robot with a human mind programmed to believe he was human. Death is a common motif for the character and itās likely that this isnāt the only scare that Revenant has in store for Apex players.
