Apex Legends delivers a squad-based battle royale experience with a uniquely Respawn flavor. Players will select from one of eight Legends - each with their own unique abilities and playstyles - and the last team standing wins. Combatants can choose from unique characters like Bloodhound, the tracker who can see recent enemy activity on the map, or Lifeline, a battlefield medic who can shield teammates and bring them back from the brink of death. Balanced squads and teamwork are critical, as each Legend is easy to pick up and learn, but challenging to master.

Apex Legends showcases several new genre-leading innovations, starting before players even start the match. Once players are ready to begin, they’ll choose their drop point with the Jumpmaster system, giving each squad full control over exactly where they drop in. Is it smarter to head straight for the most valuable loot and risk early conflict with other teams, or make for one of the outlying areas to plot an attack and let other squads pick each other off?

Celebrate the dawn of a new year as EA and Respawn today revealed the brand new Apex Legends Celestial Sunrise Collection Event, which will take place from January 24 through February 7. The event will bring the introduction of the new LTM Hardcore Royale, which will put players’ skills to the ultimate test, as well as the new cosmetics such as the “Jadeite Retribution” Reactive Peacekeeper Skin and more.

Additional details about the event can be found below:

• Hardcore Royale LTM - The latest limited-time mode gives players a chance to show themselves as a Legend among Legends, with limited HUD, a ring that starts at max damage, no EVO Armor or helmets, no armor swapping and, above all, no mercy.
• Event Items - Players can see themselves in a whole new light with the chance to unlock 24 limited-time cosmetics, including Legendary skins for Octane, Pathfinder, Caustic, Ash and more. Additional items can be earned with the event’s rewards track, and players who unlock all 24 cosmetics before the event is over will receive “Jadeite Retribution”, a new Reactive Peacekeeper Skin.

The innovations don’t stop there as Apex Legends also delivers Respawn Beacons, one-time use locations where defeated teammates can be revived, a contextual Ping communication system that allows players to call out enemies, weapons, locations and more with the push of a button, and an intelligent inventory system which automatically attaches gear and equipment to the appropriate weapons once players pick them up. All together it creates a battle royale experience unlike any other, complete with Respawn’s commitment to top-notch quality and fun.

Apex Legends is now available on Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
