One of Apex Legends' most fascinating features is the story behind the Legends and how each character uses their dark pasts to develop into the most dangerous killers in Kings Canyon. 

Season 6 saw another intriguing Legend enter the battle royale, introducing Rampart. The 'blue-collar, private business owner', also known as 'Ramya Parekh', isn't shy from huge weaponry and custom made gear as she became an expert in gunsmithing. After being ambushed by a group of assailants in her shop one night, her business was burnt down and everything she had built had turned to ash, everything except for an Apex Card. The new legend has entered the arena with a vengeance and a love for crafting the most dangerous weapons known to man.

Rampart's story is just one of many that can be found within Apex Legends, and this story could be moulded into a TV series. Game director, Chad Grenier, has admitted that he would "love" to make Apex Legends into a Netflix series to dive into the lore and develop storylines such as the Revenant vs Loba pot.

“A Netflix animated series of Apex? Yeah, I would love to do that… that sounds awesome,” explained Grenier, in an interview with GamesRadar, before adding "Sign me up! I think right now we’re focused on the game, but heck, if someone wants to pitch me something I’ll listen”.

Respawn have already begun to dabble in pop-culture through Apex Legends, creating full in-colour comics of the characters which can be unlocked in-game, adding more interesting lore behind each legend.

Whether you're wanting to discover the split personality of Mirage, the reasons behind Bloodhounds non-binary status, or craving stories on how Lifeline and Doc saved heroes lives in the past, a Netflix series could give you the answers you're looking for, and it could come to fruition in the future.
