Notes

Hey guys sethly here back with another apex legends video. I hope youre all having a fantastic day. In todays video I wanted to cover something that I havent really seen anyone talk about and thats likely due to the fact that respawn has mentioned nothing about these changes and probably wont. So most people dont know about this and I wouldnt have found out about it either if it werent for my boy FrozenFroh, or as I like it call him, the Apex Lore Master. Huge shoutout to him because he was the one that made me aware of these changes.

On to the new crypto lore. As most of you guys probably know, there is a short description and background of every legend's lore on EA's website. Well about a week ago, they made a secret update to Crypto's section, adding in some new information that was previously redacted. Lets start off with the original version that was released when crypto came out. It says

"Crypto specializes in secrets; he knows how to uncover them, and how to keep them. A brilliant hacker and encryption expert, he uses aerial drones to spy on his opponents in the Apex Arena without being seen. It's been noted that his drones have a similar design to those created by wanted murderer Tae Joon Park. Orphans raised on the streets of Suotamo, Tae Joon and his foster sister Mila Alexander escaped a life of squalor byu becoming computer engineers, designing drones that transmit the Apex Games throughout the Outlands. But one day, Tae Joon disappeared with an important company secret, and his sister vanished under mysterious and violent circumstances. However, Crypto claims to have had no contact with Tae Joon, and the case remains unsolved. Crypto's motives for joining the Apex Games are almost as mysterious as the man himself. In recent interviews, he claims he is seeking justice- but for what, exactly,remains unknown."

Now obviously there is a lot in there that is unknown about Crypto but not only that, the original lore showed an ERROR for Cryptos real name, age, and home world. The good news is, that is now updated. As for the reason behind why they secretly updated his lore, im not 100% sure but clearly they have stuff in store for crypto and have been expanding on him and his story. We have already seen some expansion on his story with the recent teasers in the bunkers and im sure we'll get some more. Back to the updated lore, as i mentioned previously Crypto's name, age, and home world use to say error. Actually, The same was true for Wraith in the past, but after the wraith stories from the outlands cinematic they updated her information. For crypto, it now says his real name is Tae Joon Park, he is 31 years old, and his home world is Gaea.

Also, instead of saying "Its been noted that his drones have a similar design to those created by wanted murderer Tae Joon Park." It now says, "He also has a secret of his own: his name is Tae Joon Park, and he joined the Apex Games to find the people who framed him for murder." And last but certainly not least, they made huge changes to the second paragraph of his lore. It now says "An orphan abandoned at a young age, Tae Joon escaped a life of squalor by becoming a computer engineer for the Mercenary Syndicate, along with his foster sister, Mila Alexander. One day, Tae Joon and Mila stumbled upon an algorithm that could predict the result of any Apex Games match, hidden away in the Games’ own computer systems. That caught the attention of the wrong people - the next day, Mila disappeared, and Tae Joon was forced to into hiding after he was framed for her murder. He’s now joined the Games to clear his name - because sometimes the spotlight is the best place to hide."

Its honestly really cool to hear his story without anything missing and its definitely interested to hear how he started working for the mercenary syndicate. Im also wondering why the Apex Games computer systems would have a way to predict the outcome of each match, the only thing I can think of that makes sense is that it was being used to fix and bet on matches. But i dont think its as simple as that. Make sure to comment down below what you guys think of this secret update to cryptos lore. If you enjoyed the video, make sure to hit that like button.
