Here’s everything you need to know about the Apex Legends Anniversary Collection Event in 2023, including the skins and start date.

Apex Legends dropped way back on February 4, 2019, and has since become one of the most popular free-to-play battle royale games, earning a huge player base and the praise of big-name streamers such as Dr Disrespect.

Respawn Entertainment will be celebrating the game’s fourth anniversary in Season 16 with an in-game event. Here’s everything you need to know about the Apex Legends Anniversary Collection Event for 2023 in Season 16.

Apex Legends Anniversary Event start date

The Apex Legends Anniversary Collection Event launched alongside the Apex Legends Season 16 patch on February 14, at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET / 6 PM GMT.

The Collection Event brings 24 unlockable cosmetic items and Heirloom Shards.

Apex Legends Anniversary Collection Event skins

The Anniversary Collection Event will see skins for Gibraltar, Lifeline, Pathfinder, Bangalore, Wraith, Newcastle, Bloodhound, Seer, Catalyst, Octane, Ash, and Horizon.

There are also weapon skins for the R-99, R-301, Nemesis, and Mastiff, as well as Banner Frames and Holos.

In the prize tracker, players can earn a free skin for Fuse and Wattson, as well as a free Anniversary Collection Event Pack and more with Event Points.

Apex Legends Anniversary Collection Event Mirage Voyage POI returns

The popular POI known as Mirage Voyage has made its return in Apex Legends with a new name “Mirage A’trois.” It has been revamped as an “interactive loot party” that features a new dance.

The Mirage A’trois POI will be present across all of the Battle Royale maps in Apex Legends throughout the entirety of Season 16. All maps will be decorated with big balloons of the Legends during the Collection Event.

Apex Legends Anniversary Collection Event Heirloom Shards

Instead of an Heirloom, Mythic skin, or reactive weapon skin, players will actually have the chance to get Heirloom Shards from the Apex Legends Anniversary Collection Event for 2023, allowing them to pick a Mythic rarity item of their choice.

Players will be able to get their hands on up to 150 heirloom shards by buying all the items in the Apex Legends Anniversary Collection Event. There will be a community-created reward track as well.

This has happened previously, as this was also the prize of the Apex Legends Anniversary Collection Event in 2021 after collecting all 24 cosmetic items.
