Surprise Apex Legends x Final Fantasy collab shocks both communities at The Game Awards 2023
Respawn/ Square EnixApex Legends has announced a Final Fantasy VII Rebirth collab at The Game Awards 2023 coming to the title in January 2024.
Apex Legends has been an absolute monolith of the battle royale genre, featuring iconic heroes that squad up to become the last team standing. The game has been going strong since its release back in 2019, with the devs introducing new characters and maps with each coming season.
One thing that the audience at The Game Awards 2023 did not see coming was the announcement of a new collaboration for Respawn’s Battle Royale.
That’s why everyone was completely shocked when Apex Legends announced a collaboration with Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, showcasing Crypto wielding Cloud’s Buster Sword.
It seems like we’ll be getting cosmetics for Wraith, Horizon, and Crypto, each wielding outfits similar to that found in the Final Fantasy franchise. There is also a chance we see other skins be given to other legends that also follow a similar aesthetic to the cosmetics for the headliners of the event.
We may also be getting a brand new game mode to accompany this event, as developers Respawn have done similar in the past. This may mean that the Buster Sword-wielding Crypto is part of that mode, and may not be a permanent addition to the game.
Players will be able to look forward to the Apex Legends x Final Fantasy VII Rebirth collab event when it enters the Outlands on January 9th, 2024.
