Apex Legends' upcoming Epic Revenant skin
Reportedly dropping in May
Overwatch 2fans highlighted that both Cyber Demon Genji and the new Revenant skin have the same color scheme and placement of certain details, particularly the sakura blossoms on their chest plates and the neon dragon scales on their arms. Although manyApex Legendsfans are excited about the upcoming Epic skin, a number of them also couldn’t help but notice the similarities to Cyber Demon Genji, even expressing their disappointment over Respawn allegedly making a 1:1 copy.
Since Revenant’s Epic skin was leaked, Respawn has not issued a statement yet addressing the accusations being hurled towards them by theOverwatch 2andApex Legendscommunities. Respawn is already facing criticism for allegedly not implementing a secure anti-cheat system following thehacking incident during a majorApex Legendstournament, so being accused of copying anOverwatch 2skin could add more problems for the developer. Of course, there’s always a possibility that the upcoming Revenant skin could still be changed beforeApex LegendsSeason 21 drops in May.
This isn’t the first timeApex Legendswas accused of allegedly copying a skin from another popular game. A couple of years back, gamers pointed out thatApex Legends' Wyrmborn gun skin looked too similar toValorant’s Elderflame gun skinbecause of the realistic dragon design.
