Kane99 Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 According to a report from MP1st, Respawn Entertainment, creators of Apex Legends, stole the design of another games character. The game in question is Bulletville, a multiplayer shooter. Apex Legends released a new character called "Fuse" which is close in style as Bulletville's Hunter character. You can view the image below. Does it look like they took inspiration? Is it too similar? \ Bulletfille's character is on the left, and was in production before Fuse. In fact, the article points out that they did a play test with EA at some point, so they likely saw the character and took inspiration from it. To me, it looks too similar. From the arms, the look, the hair, to even the belt buckle. What do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Withywarlock Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 The more I look at it the more striking the resemblance is. But then Bulletville doesn't have an entirely original cast either. I'm seeing at least four familiar character concepts here too: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane99 Posted January 23, 2021 Author Share Posted January 23, 2021 Yeah, the style is very overwatch and fortnite like. If anything too, the character kind of reminds me of a mix of Han Solo and Star-Lord. But even so, every game out there takes inspiration from somewhere.

killamch89 Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 I mean, EA isn't exactly known for originality especially nowadays so when you say they copied a character design, I'm not even remotely shocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
