Gaming Companies Claim Inclusivity, But Exclude African Players

You may be wondering who does the voice of Revenant as it feels like it has a certain cadence and gravitas to it that feels familiar for some reason. Well, the symbol of death is voiced by Darin De Paul. At first, that name might not mean anything to you, but the talented actor has an established footprint in the industry. He's voiced Reinhardt in Overwatch, J. Jonah Jameson in Marvel's Spider-Man, Calus in Destiny 2, and even Owl in 2019's Game Awards Game of the Year winner, Sekiro: Shadows Die Tw

It's great because more games need bisexual representation, but it doesn't define Loba, just like someone's sexual preference isn't their defining personality trait. She has a quip where she says "Man Eater and Lady Killer" which expresses it, which was further confirmed by writer Tom Casiello on Twit

It's unclear whether this legend is tied to the Syndicate, Hammond Robotics, or both. It could also end up being a legend tied to neither, but maybe one who was experimented on and had the ability naturally, before they infused Revenant with

Wraith is one of the 3 legends who have a skin that is gifted to players once they purchase the battle pass for Season 5. The other two are Revenant and Bloodhound, and out of the 3, she sadly has the least interesting skin. It shouldn't be too much of a bummer as Wraith has plenty of rock-solid skins, and her skin for Season 5 isn't too shabby itself. There doesn't seem to be a lot of rhyme or reason for the way it's colored and that lack of cohesion makes the thing feel messy and less interesting over

Loba is voiced by a woman named Fryda Wolff, who's been an active actor and performer since 2003. Her name might not sound familiar, but in recent years she's landed some big roles in the video game space. She not only voiced Sara Ryder, the lead female protagonist in Mass Effect: Andromeda , but she also happened to voice one of the eight major characters featured in Square Enix's Octopath Traveler , Tressa Colzione. One listen to any of Loba's numerous quips with show you just how talented she is at bringing her to life in a real

Throughout the entertainment medium, you'll often find that artists and animators love to reference their favorite influences and inspirations via direct examples, or even sometimes as hidden easter eggs. Revenant happens to have a rarely occurring animation when summoning his Ultimate ability called Death Totem. He will do a series of hand signs that are directly from the famous manga and anime series Naruto . This makes perfect sense considering the Naruto franchise focuses on ninjas, which were a direct inspiration for Revenant's charac

"I came here for musical theater," he shares, explaining how he even managed to land a role in the Broadway production of _ Wicked _ . "Even though the money was decent, I came to a roadblock. I was like, man, I should just do YouTube, streaming and this stuff, more full ti

For the longest time, the Hemlok was seen as a burst assault rifle that should only be used as a last resort. In Season 5, however, it has quickly ascended in the meta to be a clear and decisive top ten choice. The Retrofitted skin makes the gun feel even more high-class and pairs nicely with the numerous new legend skins the season introduced. Whenever you pair a maroon color with gold and black accents you're already playing with house money in regards to creating a design people will want to acquire and eq

Players are first introduced to Loba when she is barely 9 years old. At the time her name was unknown, as she was an innocent victim during Revenant's introduction video in which he murders her parents. Now that she's entered the fray of the Apex Games, she is no longer a little girl, but now a woman at the age of 34. It's been 25 years since Revenant changed her life forever, and since then she's lived a life of crime where she established herself as one of the greatest living thieves in existe

Of course, streaming is the quintessential work-from-home job. Save for a few outliers, few professional streamers and video game players are in a hurry to move to big cities that require a high cost of living. Dazs ended up in New York for a completely unrelated rea

"If we're gambling on a team in terms of the performance, how can they guarantee that they're going to win?" he says, pointing out the nature of the battle royale format that puts 20 teams side-by-side in a single ma

Apex Legends does a good job as a free-to-play game at offering its players skins for both weapons and legends worth chasing after. You would think that Revenant would have darker-themed skins due to his murderous past, which he very much does. In addition to those though they also gave him 3 separate skins all inspired by the Egyptian god, Ra. It not only changes Revenant's coloring but gives him a bird-like head which is more akin to the depictions of Ra throughout Egyptian mythol

_ Apex Legends _ won Best Apex Legends Arenas Multiplayer Game at the 2019 Game Awards and Online Game of the Year at the DICE Awards . With Respawn having recently opened a Vancouver office and projecting a 10-year run for the game, it’s clear the company plans to support the game for the foreseeable future. And, while Respawn is investing in _ Apex Legends _ as an esport, there are questions as to how it may fare among other competitive games. But Dazs is optimis
