The leaks come by way of two prominentApex Legendsleakers on Twitter, being @SomeoneWhoLeaks and @shrugtal. Shrugtal posted a datamined image of the “War Games” prize tracker, which gives a short blurb hinting at what the lore surrounding the event will be. According to the prize tracker blurb, it seems that Mad Maggie, someone closely tied toSeason 8’s newest Legend Fuse, will be modifying the Apex Games yet again with the hopes to finish things off once and for all. If the leaked prize tracker is indeed accurate, then this “War Games” event will work very similarly to otherApex Legendsevents, like the ongoing Chaos Theory event.
Shrutgal also gave fans an idea of what prizes they can expect to earn from the event, including 5 Battle Pass levels, 2 Weapon charms, an Epic Rampart skin, an Epic 30-30 repeater skin, a Rare Crypto skin, and unique Caustic trackers. Additionally, SomeoneWhoLeaks has detailed what game modifiers players can expect in the “War Games” event, and they seem similar to theongoing Chaos Theory ring flare event. Apparently, the overall time for the ring to close is shortened, and ring flares will spawn in batches over the course of a match. Additionally, Legends will start with a predetermined loadout similar to the Locked and Loaded playlist recently featured in the Anniversary event.
However, that’s not all the in-game modifiers the “War Game” event will add to matches. Allegedly, shields will regenerate if players have not taken damage for a period of time, player banners will automatically be retrieved upon death, and each legend will respawn above the position they died once per match. Of course, these details are all unconfirmed and as such should be treated as speculation until officially confirmed. However, if these details prove to be true this could beanApex Legendsevent unlike any otherbefore it.
Apex Legendshas been getting a ton of new content as of late, making Season 8 one of the busiest seasons yet. Alongsideupdates adding nerfs, buffs, brand new items, Season 8 has added a brand new Legend, a new weapon, and a remixed map. Additionally,Apex Legendsjust got released on Nintendo Switch, adding another way for the game’s ever-growing player base to expand. Hopefully, this leaked “War Games” event turns out to be real, as it could really shake up the battle royale going forward.
