Season 9 of Noon Legends is just effectually the corner, and alee of its launch Respawn released the first cinematic trailer for the flavor. Information technology focuses on the upcoming new legend Valkyrie, her origin story, and her relationship with Titanfall 2 pilot Viper, which was heavily referenced ahead of the trailer's launch.

Valkyrie is Kairi Imahara, a confident immature airplane pilot and Viper's daughter, as it turns out. During the events of Titanfall 2, Imahara was a teenager, deeply fond of her father and aspiring to go a Titan airplane pilot like him someday. However, subsequently she takes Viper'due south Northstar Titan for a joyride and nearly gets herself and her father killed in a reckless accident, Imahara is told she will never be allowed to pilot a Titan.

Sometime afterward, Viper leaves to join Cuben Blisk's Apex Predators mercenary outfit, and afterwards dies at the hands of Jack Cooper during the Titanfall ii entrada. Imahara blames Blisk for her father'southward death, and she tracks him down, but her ultimate goal is non vengeance. Instead of killing Blisk, she gets him to induct her into the Noon games to prove herself every bit the pilot she always wanted to exist and deport on Viper's legacy.

Valkyrie volition not be piloting a Titan in Noon Legends, notwithstanding. Instead, she will use a jetpack-like rig made past Rampart from parts salvaged from Viper's Northstar. The rig also notably features two racks of micro-missiles. In Apex Legends terms, Valkyrie will be a legend with a modest hitbox, strong aeriform mobility, and a damaging ability. If the jetpack gives her true flight instead of the modest heave of things similar Octane' jump pad, Valkyrie will be the first truly flying character in Apex Legends, if nosotros don't count the short-lived Drone Turret.
