Apex Legends is a free-to-play battle royale developed by Respawn Entertainment and published by Electronic Arts. Launched in 2019, it stands out for its “Legends”-based gameplay, characters with unique abilities, and a strong emphasis on teamwork. Apex Legends boasts over 70 million active players who will be able to enjoy a new limited-time event. “Astral Anomaly”, in fact, promises a gaming experience full of adrenaline and interdimensional chaos. The event brings back the “Nostalgia Royale” mode with a significant new feature: the ability to play it on all Battle Royale maps currently available.
Here is the trailer dedicated to the event
Players will have the opportunity to relive the original Apex Legends gameplay with “Nostalgia Royale”. This limited-time mode brings back the weapons, legends, abilities and rules that characterized the early stages of the game. The main novelty lies in the extension of the available maps: Canyon of the Kings, Edge of the World, Olympus, Storm Pass, the Destroyed Moon and the E-District will all be the scene of this nostalgic experience.
The “Astral Anomaly” event will also offer the chance to obtain 15 galactic-themed cosmetic items, available for a limited time. Among these the “Anarchonaut” skins for Alter and “Dark Horizon” for Horizon stand out, representing the most coveted prizes of the event.
By completing daily challenges, players will earn “bytes”, a special currency that can be used in the “Astral Anomaly” rewards shop. This system allows players to choose the rewards they wish to obtain, offering greater customization of the gaming experience.
Apex Legends: From the Rift, which includes the “Astral Anomaly” event, is available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch and PC via the EA app, Epic Games Store and Steam.
