Looks like Apex Legends is getting zombies for Halloween

It’s October now, which means I’m legally allowed to start writing about Halloween, and what better way to kick things off than with another Apex Legends leak? Or several, in fact.

A Halloween event was already on the cards for Apex – thanks, in part, to a GameStop conference leak showcasing a zombie skin for Gibraltar – along with actual confirmation of the event from Pathfinder’s voice actor in a recent Dexerto interview. Apparently we can expect to see “some creepy, scary, kick-ass designs”, but there appears to be more to it than just cosmetics.

First up, we already know the name of this Halloween event, and it’s Fight or Fright. This one’s on Respawn, as a badge for the event has already appeared in Apex’s player loadout screen.

Meanwhile, dataminer Shrugtal has been hard at work gathering information about the event, and has found a number of interesting tidbits. The first of these was a sinister image of Wraith, along with the name of a map called Shadowfall. From the images and info datamined, it looks like the original King’s Canyon map is getting a rework for Halloween, with an abandoned nighttime look and glowing Leviathans (the big dinos in the middle of the map).
