Apex celebrates 20 seasons with colossal gameplay overhauls and anniversary event

Five years of live-service success are cause for celebration, and Respawn Entertainment is bringing the party to Apex Legends with its 20th season, Breakout. The roster will retain its size, but players will see far-reaching changes to Evo shields and the addition of legend upgrades.

To celebrate, Respawn is additionally hosting an in-game event with six free legends up for grabs, a new limited-time mode, a prize tracker with free items made by the Apex community, and 150 Heirloom Shards as a prize if you buy the full collection of cosmetics. These elusive items can be used to purchase any permanent Heirloom set or Prestige skin.
