Apex Legends has entered its 5th year and is celebrating with its traditional Apex Anniversary Event.
Apex Legends, which entered the battle royale gaming genre as a dark horse in 2019, surprised everyone with its extraordinary gameplay and features. The combination of a fast-paced BR game was exactly what people wanted, and this has allowed Apex to survive and thrive for 5 years. The 2024 Apex Anniversary event will celebrate this amazing milestone.
With all that said, the anniversary event this year is unlike anything before. Respawn has changed the entire mechanics of the game, from the fundamentals to the gimmicks. So, prepare yourselves for a new era of Apex Legends in 2024!
