As we step further into 2025, it’s a great time to take a look back and reflect on the incredible lore journey Apex Legends has taken us through over the past year. From massive revelations and heart-wrenching moments to multiverse madness and wedding proposals (yes, seriously), 2024 was Apex’s most story-driven year yet.

Here’s your complete recap of everything important that happened in the Apex Universe leading into 2025 — so you’re caught up on all the drama, danger, and dimension-hopping chaos.

🩸 Season 19: Revenant Reborn, Dardo Dead

  • The year began in the aftermath of Kill Code, with Revenant Reborn literally stabbing Torres “Dardo” Silva in the back.
  • This left The Syndicate in disarray, under new leadership.
  • Meanwhile, Conduit (the new legend) joined the games, but was secretly trying to reconnect with her sister, who knew more about Conduit’s motives than expected.

🎉 Season 20: Anniversary, Interviews & Emotional Flashbacks

  • The Apex Games celebrated 5 years under new management.
  • Horizon reflected on the past, with scenes of her, Ash, and Newton preparing for her fateful trip to find branthium.
  • Octane had to deliver a speech at his grandfather Dardo’s funeral, with Seer helping him through it.
  • Revenant gave a haunting interview with Lisa Stone — and repeated his iconic Forge-stabbing moment by stabbing himself on camera.

⏳ Horizon’s Journey for Newton Begins

  • Horizon learned that Dardo Silva had found a Relic decades ago that might help her travel through time.
  • She entered an Apex event to win that Relic but lost… until Octane, in a rare selfless moment, gave her theprize.
  • Horizon began working with Mirage and Lifeline to reactivate the Relic, but something was off.

🌌 Season 21: Enter Alter – The Dimensional Threat

  • Portals and rift phenomena began appearing across the maps, hinting at something darker.
  • Enter Alter, a dimensional traveler connected to Horizon.
    • She faced off against Horizon, Mirage, and Lifeline at Humbert Labs.
    • Defeated for now, Alter gave Horizon the power source to travel through time — a shard of The Ark.

The Ark, as Titanfall fans know, was an alien power source used in the IMC’s Fold Weapon on Typhon. Its reappearance is a massive lore callback to Titanfall 2 and the Frontier War.

🧬 Season 22: The Rise and Fall of E-District

  • Apex moved to a new map: E-District, a city on planet Gaia deeply inspired by Angel City from Titanfall.
  • A storm on Storm Point cut off E-District’s power, leading to riots and eventual abandonment.
  • Watson restored the power, and The Syndicate repurposed the area as the new Apex arena.
  • Crypto and Caustic, both from Suotamo (the same planet), returned in disguise to rescue their mother Mystic after Alter’s gas attack.

💔 Horizon’s Dream, Ash’s Betrayal

  • Horizon dreamt of seeing Newton again. With Alter’s help, she believed it was finally possible.
  • But Ash, fearing the consequences of time travel, destroyed the Ark fragment Horizon needed.
  • This triggered the multiverse unraveling — with rifts appearing mid-match on Kings Canyon.
  • Doc (Lifeline’s drone) was sucked into a rift, witnessing:
    • An alternate Skull Town
    • A sinister version of Horizon
    • Alter up to something strange
    • And nearly losing his own functionality
  • Lifeline saved Doc, but at the cost of losing the use of her arm.

🛠️ Lifeline Reborn

  • Lifeline rebuilt Doc with a new idea — turning him into a glider.
  • This led to the birth of “Lifeline Reborn”, a stronger, faster version of the combat medic.

💍 Fusehound Confirmed!

  • In one of the most wholesome moments of 2024, Fuse proposed to Bloodhound.
  • After a traditional ritual hike, crafting, and some heartfelt awkwardness, Bloodhound said yes.
  • Fusehound is officially canon — and we couldn’t be happier.

🧠 Final Thoughts

From Syndicate power shifts and lost family reunions to deadly rifts and multiverse encounters, Apex Legends’ lore exploded in 2024. And now, with Horizon’s time travel arc, Alter’s mystery motives, and Titanfall tech resurfacing, 2025 is shaping up to be even more mind-bending.
