Apex Legends Grand Soiree Arcade event starts 14 January

The Apex Legends Grand Soiree Arcade event starts 14 January, EA and Respawn today confirmed.

The event, a Pathfinder-focused one running between 14-28 January, “lets players partake in a rollicking event with new modes every two days – from Armed and Dangerous to exotic new additions – as well as earn exquisite rewards and shop for an array of Art Deco inspired cosmetics and outfits,” EA advised.

Here’s what to expect:

• Seven Rotating Limited Time Modes – Experience seven different limited-time modes — with a new mode rotating every two days — including familiar favourites like Armed and Dangerous, as well as new modes like DUMMIE’s Big Day. Each limited-time mode will have three new challenges worth a total of 1,000 points.
• Event Reward Track – This new track system gives players more rewards, and even more ways to earn. Complete a variety of challenges to rack up Arcade points and earn increasingly prestigious rewards throughout the event.
• Bonus Scoring Weekend – From 5am AEDT on Saturday, January 18 to 5am AEDT on Tuesday, January 21, players will be able to grab an additional set of event-specific challenges worth a total of 500 points.
• Direct Purchase Event Shop – Players can shop for a mix of legendary skins, as well as other Art Deco inspired cosmetics at a $5 price point. Six new Legendary skins will also be added to the core loot pool, which can be crafted or obtained from Apex Packs, or available for direct purchase.

Apex Legends is available now on Windows PC, Xbox One and PS4.
