Apex Legends x Cyberpunk 2077 goes live next week

More than half a decade on from the game’s release, Cyberpunk 2077 remains as popular as ever, thanks in part to a number of surprise updates alongside the huge success of Netflix’s Cyberpunk Edgerunners. Having already crossed over with other IPs, Cyberpunk 2077 is now set to join the world of Apex Legends.

Making the surprise announcement, EA / Respawn officially unveiled their Apex Legends x Cyberpunk Event. Going live on the 14th of July (and running until the 4th of August), this crossover features far more than just some collab skins, with the E-District being transformed into Night City. The event also adds in two new ‘cyberware mods’:

• Sandevistan (allowing you to dash in any direction multiple times)
• Blackwater breach (giving you teleport / EMP abilities)

These all tie into the mode’s cyberware capacity mechanic, in which picking up too many upgrades can cause you to “go full Cyberpsycho and become a high-speed melee monster.”

Of course, this event also brings with it a ton of cosmetics – some paid and others free-to-earn. Alongside various weapon skins, 8 different cosmetic packs are available for different Legends:

• Axle (Lucy)
• Sparrow (David)
• Lifeline (V)
• Crypto (V)
• Rampart (Rebecca)
• Loba (Panam)
• Ash (Lizzy Wizzy)
• Gibraltar (Royce)

Unlike the event itself, these cosmetics will be available to purchase up until the 18th of August. While some of these skins are seemingly better than others, Apex Legends tends to have its crossovers embrace more of a cosplay-style of look, as opposed to bringing in the character themselves.

Either way, this crossover looks to have quite a bit of work put into it. Hopefully the new LTM is fun to play.
