Halloween is fast approaching, and Apex Legends is set to welcome it with open arms again. Respawn’s FPS title introduced a limited timed event, Fight or Fright, last year, and they are bringing the popular event back in 2020.
The limited-time Fall celebration will re-emerge on Thursday, October 22. It will run until November 3, so players will have 12 days to get their Halloween fill.
The announcement was made in a video on the official Apex Legends Twitter account on October 19. The footage teased the return of staples from past Fight or Fright events, including game modes and cosmetics.
Shadow Royale imited-time mode
Shadow Royale is back. Matches start like normal trios games but, when you die, you are resurrected as a “Shadow” form of your character with enhanced speed, mobility, and a powerful melee attack to boot. Think of it like Legends’ version of Call of Duty’s Zombies mode, and you will get the idea.
As a “Shadow,” you will have unlimited lives, which allows you to help keep your squad alive. You will keep returning until your whole squad is eliminated or until you emerge victorious.
