In the shooter Apex Legends, a new event will take place in January. During the Soiree Arcade, 7 different game modes will appear within 14 days, each lasting only 2 days. You can earn some rewards and even 4 new skins through these.
What kind of event is this? The Arcade event “Grand Soiree” is a two-week spectacle where you get a new game mode presented every other day.
Some of these have been in the game before and they have only been slightly adjusted; others are completely new. Additionally, there is a new prize system where you can earn new rewards.
Each mode offers challenges for which there are a total of 1,000 points available on the reward path. Over the two weeks, a total of 7,000 points can be earned, with 5,500 needed for all rewards. So you’ll need to complete many, but not all, challenges.
When will the event take place? The Grand Soiree will take place from January 14 to January 28. As the current season ends on February 3, this is the last major event of the Season 3 in Apex Legends.
Just in December, there was a major update that brought higher levels and new loot.
What game modes will there be? The upcoming game modes can already be seen in the graphic above:
- Gold Rush Duos – January 14/15
