Respawn Entertainment and EA announce a new Apex Legends Collection Event, Awakening, that brings back Control, introduces a new Takeover, and more.

Something always cooking when it comes to Apex Legends, but the past few weeks have been especially busy. Not only was there the launch of Season 13 alongside the defensive character Newcastle, but Apex Legends Mobile also fully launched with a unique character of its own. The latter has also gotten some attention as Loba recently joined the mobile game, but it seems it is the base game’s turn.

Developer Respawn Entertainment and Publisher EA have announced a new Collection Event coming to Apex Legends, dubbed Awakening, on June 21. Fans familiar with the game should know how Collection Events work now, but in short, alongside some new gameplay elements, there are a plethora of new skins and a new heirloom players can collect.

Specifically, the Apex Legends Awakening Collection Event was announced in a new trailer (as seen below) and features new reward tracks and 24 new cosmetic legendary skins for Horizon, Mad Maggie, Fuse, and More. A new skin for Loba looks like something straight out of a Sci-Fi story, while Seer is getting one that looks a lot like a Green Power Ranger. The big cosmetic reward is a new Apex Legends heirloom for Valkyrie, the Suzaku—an epic spear.

Gameplay-wise, the big changes include the return of Apex Legends’ 9v9 Control Mode on World’s Edge. It’s no secret that Control has been the most popular LTM to arrive in the battle royale game, and its return is no doubt exciting. Furthermore, Olympus will feature Lifeline’s Town Takeover. It’s been a while since a Town Takeover appeared in Apex Legends, and this should shake up the Olympus map well.

The exact layout of her Takeover, dubbed Lifeline’s Clinic, remains to be seen, but the trailer does show off a centered apparatus capable of healing players in the center—a much larger version of Lifeline’s D.O.C Heal Drone, it would ultimately seem.

Apex Legends players will be able to check out the event and Control for a couple of weeks, but Lifeline’s Clinic will likely remain a permanent change. It also stands to reason that her clinic—which is in the eastern section of Olympus—will remain a hot drop for a couple of weeks. Ultimately, it’ll be interesting to see how players react to all of this new content coming to Apex Legends.

Apex Legends is available now for Mobile, PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
