Puppetworks partnered with Psyop, Respawn Entertainment, Electronic Arts to release the story cinematic "Kill Code Part 1", first in a series of cinematics to expand the lore of Apex Legends. The series will spotlight a narrative arc that will roll out alongside new updates of the game.

In Kill Code Part 1, Lifeline, Maggie and Loba are in a bar asking about Duardo. After some convincing, the bartender, and old aquaintance of Maggie's, tells them the location of an abandoned facility where they might find answers. Once there, they hack in and download the data they need but not before triggering the alarm and necessitating a hasty, fight-filled getaway.

Throughout the project, working with the vision of Psyop directors Jack Anderson and Liam Griffin, our goal was to create an action-driven sequence that would really impress fans while putting a focus on story exposition and pepper it all with some humor. With the cinematic gaining more than 2 million views and counting, and the reaction being positive from both the client and the fans, we think we've hit the mark.
