Apex Legends Wintertide Collection Event: Winter Express, Wraith Mythic skin, more
Respawn EntertainmentApex Legends’ next collection event, Wintertide has finally been revealed. Here’s everything we know about the event so far, including the return of Winter Express and Wraith’s Mythic skin.
Season 15 of Apex Legends is well underway, adding Catalyst and the Broken Moon map, but as we’re so close to the holiday season, the winter event is right around the corner.
Soon after the new season went live, data miners found lots of information about the next event, called Wintertide, including the collection reward. Also, some players even unlocked the badges early due to a glitch, confirming the name of the event.
When is the Wintertide event in Apex Legends?
The Wintertide Collection event will start on Tuesday, December 6, at 10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm GMT.
Collection events in the past have always lasted for two weeks, meaning the event should end on December 20, unless Respawn opts to extend it over the Christmas dates too.
