During The Game Awards 2023, Respawn Entertainment announced that Apex Legends is doing a collaboration event with Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth next year. The upcoming event drops on 9th January and we can expect new skins and limited-time game modes to drop right after the new year kicks off. If you are wondering what’s coming in the upcoming event, here’s a quick rundown of the Apex Legends X Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth Crossover.

Everything Coming to The Apex Legends X Final Fantasy 7 Event

Three legendary skins have been revealed so far: Crypto dons Cloud Strife's iconic Buster Sword and SOLDIER attire, Horizon channels Aerith Gainsborough's floral elegance, and Wraith embodies Vincent Valentine's brooding mystique with his cloak and gun. More skins for other Legends might be revealed closer to the launch.

Expect themed banners, badges, charms, and weapon skins to further the Final Fantasy vibe.

While this is all that Respawn has confirmed officially, the following content is also expected to arrive based on leaks.

  • Weapons: Cloud's Materia-infused Buster Sword or Barret's minigun

  • Game Modes: A limited-time mode inspired by Final Fantasy's combat or objectives

  • Soundtrack: Expect some music tracks to be added to the game for free that you can listen to in the lobby and during loading scenes.

Expect a vibrant, clash of styles as the gritty realism of the Outlands meets the fantastical elements of Final Fantasy. The event aims to celebrate both franchises, offering fans a chance to play their favorite Legends with a Final Fantasy twist.

When is The Final Fantasy Event Dropping?

The event is scheduled to drop on 9th January. An official reveal trailer for the event should drop around a week before the event kicks off. Keep an eye on the official Apex Legends and Final Fantasy channels for teasers, reveals, and more details in the coming weeks. The excitement is building, so get ready to unleash your inner hero (or villain) when the crossover drops.
