The apex team deciding NOT to have this season’s reactive skin be the ALTERnator is the biggest fumble in a long time

[@vossboy6337]

She kinda reminds me of Heath Ledger's Joker, the way she tells a different backstory every time she's asked who she is, in the same way the Joker had multiple stories about how he got his scars. Maybe there was some inspiration from that.

[@LooYoo626]

I feel the segment with the Bird's Nest is more like a Chinese idiom-'鸠占鹊巢' ('a pigeon occupying a magpie's nest'), which means unlawfully occupying someone else's territory or resources. It originates from pigeons laying their eggs in magpies' nests, hatching and then pretending to be magpie chicks, eventually killing the real magpie offspring. I believe Alter might indeed have stolen identities from other universes.

[@TyBe-uo4ud]

She is JOBU TUPAKI, from everything everywhere all at once.

[@ErikLucas]

Wait till you see her epic emote 👏

[@Arkys34]

Me too and she have some pose really close to the Joker from TDK, like the shot with Joker out from window in police car or clap exactly same in prison scene

[@vossboy6337]

@@Arkys34 I just saw that, definitely gonna be the pose I unlock first 😂

[@NeExil]

Also, lots of people realized this, but the characters that asked her *who are you* seem to be alternate version of our legends. First is mirage, surrounded by decoys, then is crypto with same jacket and beard. Then i think is rampart and newcastle, then rev, ballistic and octane. Which would mean what she is haunting alternate version of apex legends and now going for our horizon

[@TheNobodycar3s]

Nope, makes no sense… u on that good stuffeh?

[@lostkid337]

yeah i noticed that too. The pattern of person she kills (also the voices) resembles the alt legends

[@legz5766]

I think Alter somehow managed to unite her alternate timeline selves into one being which would explain why she has so many different "backstories" as though she maybe remembers all of her alternate timelines and that's why she's as crazy as she is. Kinda like Everything Everywhere All At Once, with some kind of mental snapping point where she couldn't handle anymore of the timelines she converged.

[@FvngShui]

Cool theory if that was the case she’s definitely the most powerful legend if she was Bloodhound andThe Monkey King

[@phillipchen6834]

I’m pretty sure she says “则以听听” at 1:44 which really sounds like Cantonese. I’m really hyped because I never hear my family’s language in much western media these days

[@JeanneCutieJ]

What does it translate to?

[@phillipchen6834]

it’s not a common phrase but it’s something like “listen closely”

[@calyhk]

It is Cantonese, her leaked voicelines also confirm this

[@vortexyt78]

So Alter is a living Paradox tied with Horizon assuming she messed with timeline and the portals (green) from olympus teleporting is different from Alter's portal (purple) so they both are made by compeletly different person.

[@Samuel2oh9]

Her parents probably died as a result of something connected to horizon’s time travel device. That’s why she resents horizon and obviously wants to find her and take the device to use it to fix the problem it started

[@northwolfOTT]

Alter is Crazy so some of the stuff she said maybe true but some lies. The reason Alter may be seeking out Horizon is because her time traveling maybe affecting different realities which could’ve destroyed alters home reality

[@spaceghostmiid]

i think all of the things she says are true, but not for this version of alter. i think somehow whatever horizon did to her scrambled her brain and gave her the memories of every version of herself across every reality.

[@snowconebrat7329]

If you look at the leaks A BUNCH of her stuff is filled with Heath Ledger's Joker

Big tip for making these videos: You can press the comma and full stop buttons on your keyboard to skip backwards and forwards (respectively) one frame at a time. Would've been very useful for pausing on that hidden message at the end of the trailer.

[@Revenant_777]

I really like the Chinese mythology reference , that she was born from the stone fighting for immortality , the same thing Wukong the monkey king did, and guess what her appearance with a tail also resembles to the monkey king.....love it.

[@CaseyDavis-jy5py]

Alter is the Joker of the Apex Legends universe.

[@nikkothegoblin]

This was an excellent trailer, I've been out of Apex for months but this is really cool

[@pierresco]

I'm pretty god damn sure she's inspired from Everything Everywhere, all at once

[@Lykanokami]

Exactly my thought ! I don't think she lies like the Joker but she has differents versions of her like in Everything, Everywhere, All at once. (And she speaks Mandarin too !)

[@TyBe-uo4ud]

YES, WHY ISN'T ANYONE ELSE MAKING THE CONNECTION!!

[@johnkyl123]

I mean her name is alter… Alter as in alter things, she clearly alters realities

[@emilykelly7453]

Do you have the video showing the Easter egg in firing range where you have to shoot a target with each gun, using all of TF1 guns, then TF2 guns, then apex guns in order?

[@natekarpowicz7564]

She's from a paradox. One that will happen if Sommers returns to Newt.

[@kamori7159]

My theory was when she got asked she would talk about other legends, dead parents = loba hunter= bloodhound And maybe being dragged away after crying about the dead parents is a reference to lobas trailer when she was talking about being put into the system or reference to wraith being dragged into testing

[@tonydak8573]

My theory is that the bracelet that Horizon created to see Newton winds up creating a catastrophic event due to the attempts to tamper with time killing Alter’s parents who were one of the scientists that worked on Renee (Real Wraith) and the other test subjects, and Alter wants revenge. All the tales are true.

[@Ballistic-vn6em]

Really good animation!

[@dakotadeskins6309]

IM ORAYING ASH HAS ALOT TO DO WITH ALTER AND HOPE IT LEADS TO SOEM GOOD STUFF

[@saga420nbk]

It’s obviously an alternate horizon… they look the same.. same hair…

[@toro2brazy692]

I’m saying!

[@aeriesgow87]

If she's interdiminitional then maybe in each world she takes on the personality of diff legends, dead parents - lobe, sports - octane, hunter- bloodhound, assassin- revenant and in the beginning she is wraith but in a diff world

[@Toni0102]

1:17 could be a coincidence but she looks so similar to horizon especially with the lighting on her hair.

[@EirikXL]

What if the stories are true and it's her experiences in different realities in which she has the memories from all of them, thus being so capable due to having lived life out multiple times in different dimensions

[@ShayBby]

Well if you read wraiths bio it says her biggest fear is that she maybe evil because wraith can’t remember her past life. So if alter is one of her test subjects she definitely then that’s wild

[@heartgrenade8359]

Space Joker is crazy.

[@deemur7]

The whole damn season is leaked like 90% of everything even Alter and the new Broken Moon are downloadable/playable through files damn

[@shane4954]

I think in the trailer it depicts her as being each different legend but just in different universes. Which is why she always repeats when asked who she is

[@heregoesfranklin5962]

Nah, only one. Even the Dead Parents thing was more Batman than Loba

[@doctyro]

I think she's not making them up. Since she's exists in multiple timeline she CAN became anyone in different timelines. The wraith that portaled from future in Wraith's lore is probably alter.

[@swifttitan8126]

what's the chance alter is newt horizons son, i don't know why but i get that vibe heavy

[@astrobaconyt]

Here is a tip for looking for something fast in a video : Use the "," key and "." key to go forward and backwards frames "," will send you back 1 frame while "." will send you forward 1 frame hope this helps

[@Juppiz]

was about to say this as well ^^

[@javijunior_gaming167]

That upside down city that she is looking at in the end of the video looks like worlds edge and it sorta looks like the POI Arsenal they did for worlds edge season 17 with the apex logo. So Im wondering why did they take out worlds edge form rotation 🤔.

[@houdheifabahloul3346]

Your not gonna stream?

[@RedeyedKnight78]

Reckon it's horizon herself from possible ALTERnative universe after too much time travelling. I'm thinking similar to 'The Flash' movie

[@mrmigs3817]

Shes seems like an awesome character

[@cinnamonshiva]

That guy at the start could be Amer Singh from Wraith's STFO, the scientist who experimented on Wraith/Renee. I might be wrong, but he does resemble him.

[@colyrne]

Amer Singh doesnt have a mole on his left cheek though. I think its unlikely.

[@nakasammy1]

LETS GOI

[@user-pf1rb8bz2x]

They were probably trained as pilots senes void tek was a pilot ability in tf2

[@Theserious467]

She's talking about the different lives She's lived in alternate universes & because there's infinite possibilities in a multiverse they all can be very true in fact all the legends could have lived the life of the other in a different universe, She's just the only one that experience those other lives via her powers idk how it'd connect to wraith tho

[@viralx927]

I think alter was Maggie’s protégé notice she called one of them big ears in her story

[@Poke_n_Smot]

ok so if you go to horizons story from the outlands, when ash cuts the cord on horizon. the time goes forward and goes to a picture of newton growing. at one point he has 3 kids one in his arms is a little girl... could that be alter? because after that he old and on his death bed.

[@Snowili]

If you pause a vid on youtube you can skip frame by frame with , and . buttons on a keyboard (< and >)

[@Amsoniac]

I’m surprised you didn’t mention she’s killing alternate universe legends. Mirage, caustic, rampart new castle , band and crypto I think? My best guess / hope is this is an alternate universe Horizon who got pulled into a black hole and experienced the vastness of infinity, driving her mad.

[@lancefromohio]

I'm not too great on my lore. What's the chances that's Newton Somers?

[@Tallywackz]

She is like a legit “joker” villain. Loves anarchy. And anytime asked about her past she just tells a ridiculous story like joker with his scars 🤣 I love it. Fun character for sure. Her gameplay looks really interesting too

[@losthyperspace]

Love her so much

[@lmaooutloudd]

wait so are we not getting a launch trailer?

[@Prof.Albusdumbledore]

Did y’all see the new gameplay footage of her !? Uploaded by hypermist!!? SHES GOOOOOD

[@taylorscott5605]

Maybe instead of being none of them, she’s all of them? In different dimensions. She’s lived out their stories.

[@EPadraigM]

I think i have figured out what most of the strories are hinting towards. Not that any of them are true, (or are they?) 1st backstory: probably Revenant's human backstory 2nd backstory: Loba's backstory 3rd backstory: Bloodhound's backstory 4th backstory: Unknown, likely made up 5th backstory: Sun Wukong's backstory 6th backstory: Either an actual part of Alter's backstory or made up 7th-last backstories: I am unsure

[@kylevanderwolf4446]

She seems like the void has effected her the opposite of wraith. There are a LOT of wraiths. But what if there’s only one alter who’s been in A LOT of realities? Also. We don’t really know how horizon escaped from the black hole. Could she have sort of messed with alter by returning? Is that why she hates horizon?

[@COMMANDER_LC]

GOOD video ❤

[@DaBestIshyFishy]

I'm still wondering who is she💀

[@Lara-mj9xk]

At the end it says apex ends, is it true? They telling us something???

[@CasterVA]

horizon didnt create the time travel device in the past, she created it on the future and it was used to travel back to the past, now she found it, on the "past" of that future.

[@Bla4kGuy]

Im pretty sure alter is another version of horizon that went mad, they do look similar.

[@skar516]

What I got from this was that she’s a mix of every legend and she was bio engineered. Bio engineered by who however 🤔

[@ItsHearsay]

My guess is that Alter has the ability to copy the abilities of other legends who she kills. Hence the identity crisis.

[@SokkaAangLee]

It all might be true like everything evert all at once

[@Kai-wh3vi]

Those stories are true. Those are just dimensionally different versions of her

[@TyBe-uo4ud]

I think she is inspired by *Jobu Tupaki* From everything everywhere all at once. - both multiversal hoppers. - different origins based on timeline. - unsympathetic. - asian girl.

[@seansparks9611]

Could Alter be a variant of Wraith?

Hey i need help i have this weird glitch that makes me have delay and my internet is fine but this problem only happens in apex and not my other games like Fortnite, Warframe and etc so what this glitch is it's that when i am playing in a game and i move for some reason i have delay like i would press my W key and jump and it will only happen 3 seconds latter ( And i do not touch my keyboared when this happens) or when i am side walking it will just continue to go that way for a few seconds and it's only me cause while this is happening and i am in a fight no one freezes o anything and i get shot at if anyone has this issue and has fixed it please tell me

If she really is Subject 0 and she doesnt go for Wraith, maybe she either genuinely forgot who she is between season 13 and now, or she is no longer scared and maybe even thankful with Wraith for creating what she is today

explain, please, i havent played apex for awhile but love the lore

[@VulgoPJ]

The word "Alter" is a term used to refer to the "personalities" that inhabit in the same body in cases of people with DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder, or multiple personality disorder as it was usually referred to). Maybe Alter suffers from DID, and all those stories she tells are real to her, referencing the experiences of her other "personalities". Even the Bloodhound one, as it is not uncommon for people with DID to have Alters that are personification of celebrities or people that were around the person's life.

[@jimthabeast5345]

Or she is the combination or many or all versions of other Alters

[@RoninGoddess]

Can y'all let Ash live in peace 💀 Why would they make a DID phase legend who hates horizon when Ash is literally that

[@stylianost.9272]

evil horizon?

[@thegrimreaper8762]

I think all of these stories are true, but they aren't her. Shes the combination of each alter in each dimensions. I can explain it if you ask a question

[@LonelyOcean]

I'm not going to say "I can fix her" cuz I don't want to

[@yahootube90]

It says "Apex Ends" for a moment there. Basically, with Duardo gone and Alter trying to destroy worlds, does that mean the Apex Games themselves are supposed to be ending/evolving into something else in the lore?
