New Legend: Ballistic
Before the Apex Legends games began, there was a more brutal competition: the Thunderdome games! Here, siblings Sok Leng and Kit Siang Phua dominated. They were supported by August Brinkman, Sok Leng's later husband. But when August's selfish gameplay led to Kit Siang's death, August withdrew from the games, leaving Sok Leng and their son Nate behind.
For decades, August lived in seclusion. When Nate decides to follow in his family's footsteps and enter the arena, August returns to make a deal and enter the games in place of his son.
