Apex Legends – Celestial Sunrise Collection Event Starts January 24th, Adds Hardcore Royale

Respawn Entertainment has announced yet another Collection Event for Apex Legends. The Celestial Sunrise event is meant to celebrate the Lunar New Year and adds several new cosmetics (including Legendary skins for Pathfinder, Caustic, Ash and Octane). These include the new Reactive Peacekeeper skin. Check out the trailer below to see them all in action.

Celestial Sunrise also introduces a brand new limited-time mode – Hardcore Royale. It’s a much more punishing version of Trios where you have no Helmets and only White tier armor. It’s non-upgradeable, and you can’t armor swap (since armor doesn’t spawn in Deathboxes). The HUD is also limited while the Ring begins at max damage, making it all the more important to stay on your toes.

Hardcore Royale is only available to level 20 accounts and won’t replace Trios, thankfully. Following the Collection Event, two more limited-time modes are coming, so stay tuned.

Apex Legends is available for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, PC, and Nintendo Switch.
