Respawn unveiled the daughter of famed Titanfall 2 pilot, Viper, earlier this week, a brand♛ new playable character in the battle royale Apex Legends. Valkyrie - as she's called - is quickly becoming a fan-favorite, and already, some creative works have sprung up in appreciation such🍎 as the Akira-styꦕled poster dedicated to Kairi Imahara.
Akira has often been credited as playing a pivotal role in the birthing of the cyberpunk genre, and it was even getting its own live-action film from Thor: Ragnarok director Taika Waititi but that appears to have been shelved. At any rate, plenty of games have paid homage to the 80s classic with the most recent being 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Cyberpunk ဣ2077 with an Akira-style bi﷽ke.
This fan-made poster swaps out that famous, iconic Akira bike with Valkyrie's repurposed Titan remnants, suspended by chains. She can be seen walking toward it with the 'Akira' text at the bottom swapped out for 'Va🧸lk.' The creator even shared a video of the artistic procesꦿs, a sped-up timelapse, starting with Valkyrie, then the equipment at the top, followed by the logo and background.
It even garnered the attention of Respawn itself as the director of communications, Ryan K. Rigney, commented on the tweet. He simply exclaimed, "HOOOOLY." That sums u🦩p the a🍌rtwork pretty well.
V🐓alkyrie will be joining the battle royale extravaganza when the next season starts on May 4. It seems as though she will be a versatile hero capable of maneuvering through the air with her repurposed Titan parts, while also firing off missiles. But, she's not the only new addition to the next season as the bocek bow is also underway with an infested variant of Olympus.
