Following various not-so-subtle teases from the Apex Legends Twitter account, Respawn has announced that the original Kings Canyon map is returning in an upcoming Collection Event. Oh, and everyone’s favourite murder site, Skull Town, is being introduced as an Arenas map.
The Genesis Collection Event kicks off on 29th June and lasts until 13th July, offering a bunch of new paid cosmetics (and what looks like an extremely cool Revenant scythe heirloom). As usual, you can acquire these by purchasing event packs or buying them directly with Apex Coins or Crafting Materials. You’ll need to purchase all 24 items to unlock the Revenant heirloom – paying for all of that would certainly be the death of me.
There are some freebies, however: players will be able to earn 1600 points per day in daily challenges as part of the event’s rewards track. This includes legendary Charge Rifle and EVA-8 skins, along with a variety of charms. On top of this, there are some stretch challenges with special event badges as rewards.
