• On April 15, 2021, Apex Legends posted a tweet of an image with the caption, "Searching the Stars." Most notably, there are manga volumes, a statue of a Valkyrie from Titanfall 2, and other Titanfall 2 references.
• On April 17, 2021, a second tweet was posted with the caption, "Seeding the Soil."
• On April 19, 2021, Northstar was released.

Trivia

• VTOL Jets is likely inspired from the Hover and VTOL Hover abilities from Titanfall 2, which allow Pilots and Titans to hover in the air.
• Cluster Missile is likely inspired by the Cluster Missile ordnance used by Northstar class Titans from Titanfall 2.
• An older datamining attempt uncovered an ability called Afterburners which, after the initial drop, allowed Valk and her team to skydive faster.
  • The description of this ability used the pronoun "her" which confirms Valk's gender as female.
