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?

EA and Respawn revealed their latest Apex Legends collaboration, bringing two of gaming's fiercest competitions together with the Apex Legends VS Street Fighter 6 Event, going live across all platforms on September 22.

This limited-time event will allow players to drop into Wildcard with the fighting styles of iconic martial artists, explore a Street Fighter 6-themed Olympus, unlock brand-new skin cosmetics and more. 

This limited-time collaboration features bounds of new content, including: 

• Wildcard Takeover
  • Drop into Wildcard and fight through a Street Fighter 6 remix of Olympus. Smash up Punch Trucks for Fight Gauge tokens, step into the ring in Luke’s Gym, and check out the arcade cabinets, Blanka-chan balloons and other decorations throughout the map. Grab Fighter Gear to channel the power of a Street Fighter 6 character: choose from 4 kits, each with their own Passive abilities, Tacticals, and signature Ultimate. 
    • Ryu: Close in with fast movement, then finish with a brutal Shin Shoryuken uppercut.
    • Chun-Li: Wall-run into the fight with faster melee attacks, then lock down a zone with a charged Kikosho blast.
    • Akuma: Unleash demon fireballs from range, then close the distance and finish with a Shun Goku Satsu.
    • Dhalsim: Float above the fight on low gravity, control space from range, and rain fire with a Yoga Sunburst from above.
• Fighter Form & Showdown
  • Once players collect tokens to fill their Fight Gauge, they will be able to unleash the power of Fighter Form. Fighter Form switches to third-person combat with players’ new Tactical and Ultimate, plus enhanced melee, block, damage reduction, and extra speed. 
  • Survive until the last round to enter Showdown: the final all-out brawl for victory where every player enters their Fighter Form and any downed or respawning players rejoin the fight.
• New Hadoken Universal Melee
  • Channel the spirit of Street Fighter 6 and claim the new Hadoken Mythic Universal Melee cosmetic, which includes a matching Deathbox.

• And More!

The Apex Legends VS Street Fighter 6 Event will be live on September 22 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via the EA App, Epic Game Store and Steam.

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, Nintendo Switch 2, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
