Season 3 of Apex Legends is now firmly underway, with its first seasonal event concluded and new content rumoured to be on the way. In fact, the game recently won Best Multiplayer of 2019 at the Golden Joystick awards; something which could well help to attract players to the game in the coming weeks. As such, it would be no surprise for Respawn to hold some sort of Black Friday event to take advantage of that, and a new leak may well have revealed that such an event is indeed on the way.
The Leaked Apex Legends Black Friday Event
The leak was posted on Twitter by That1MiningGuy, somebody who has been a reliable source of Apex Legends leaks in the past. While every leak should be taken with a grain of salt, it’s worth noting that Apex Legends leaks are relatively common, and have been proven correct on a number of occasions. In this case, the leak suggests that Respawn will be launching a ‘mini’ Apex Legends Black Friday event.
Unsurprisingly, the focus of the event will be on the in-game store. The leak, which doesn’t detail every aspect of the event, does at the very least suggest that it could see some old skins return to the store for a limited time. Specifically, these would be event skins which aren’t currently available; skins that were available during previous Collection Events, for example. Of course, there’s no way to know for sure whether the leak is accurate until Black Friday arrives. The retail event will be taking place on the 29th of November.
Black Friday sales and events are, of course, very common. As such, it certainly wouldn’t be a surprise to see an Apex Legends Black Friday event. However, giving players access to old event skins could be a popular decision; after all, most of the skins that were available during the Iron Crown and other past events aren’t available anymore. Certainly, it would be an opportunity for players to get their hands on content that they missed. In fact, this would be especially timely given that many current players may have come into the game at the launch of Season 3; those players may well have missed all of the Season 2 event cosmetics.
