Apex Legends is celebrating the Lunar New Year with an all-new collaboration with Final Fantasy VII Rebirth as it arrives on PC
Respawn Entertainment and Electronic Arts have teamed with Square Enix to bring Final Fantasy VII Rebirth to the world of Apex Legends. The latest collection event will celebrate the Lunar New Year with special FF7R content added to the mix. Which will include you collecting Material to use in a special Buster Sword. We have a few of the details below from their latest blog, as the event goes live from January 21-February 11.
Celebrate the Lunar New Year with a cosmic twist, as Materia from the Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Event returns via Rift Relics. Wield the devastating Buster Sword R2R5 and equip Hop-Ups to summon a SOLDIER Nessie, boost your critical rate, and much more. Pull from the returning 36 Final Fantasy VII Rebirth-themed cosmetics with items you already own counting towards your Loot progress -- with all six Iconic Legend skins also in the store for direct purchase. Earn rewards in the new Lunar Rebirth Reward Track, and collect from 24 event cosmetics as you work toward Alter's "Voidsnake" Prestige Skin complete with three tiers, a Skydive Trail, and a Finisher.
Wield the power of a Buster Sword R2R5 with light and heavy attacks, blocking to reduce damage taken and dash to close the gap, and the quintessential Limit Break. The more you deal, take, and block damage, the faster your Limit Break meter will fill. Rift Relics get the Rebirth treatment! Grab Materia Hop-Ups from Rift Relics during the event for increased effects and/or bonuses. Each has its own impact and will only attach to select weapons.
