Buckle up, Legends. Two of the most iconic universes in sci-fi are about to collide. Respawn Entertainment has officially revealed the Apex Legends x Gundam crossover event, and it’s set to land on March 10, 2026.
This isn’t just a handful of skins; we’re looking at a full-scale invasion of Mobile Suits, reimagined maps, and gameplay mechanics that feel straight out of a high-octane anime.
Broken Moon Reimagined
The centrepiece of the event is a massive transformation for Broken Moon. The map is being turned into a war-torn Gundam battlefield. Expect to see:
Wrecked Mobile Suits: Massive husks of fallen mechs scattered across the terrain.
Wing Gundam Statues: Gigantic, climbable monuments that double as tactical high-ground landmarks.
Aerial Dogfights: Look up to see massive ships and mechs battling it out in the skies while you fight on the ground.
Suit Up: Iconic Legend Skins
The collaboration brings eight legendary skins inspired by specific Mobile Suits. If you’ve ever wanted to drop into the Outlands as a Newtype, now is your chance.
Pro Tip: Keep an eye on the Reward Shop! You can earn medals during the event to unlock a Char Aznable-inspired skin for the newest Legend, Sparrow, for free.
New Gameplay: Wild Cards & The Buster Rifle
The event introduces the “Wild Card” system, adding unique abilities to the mix. These will change the flow of combat in the limited-time mode:
Epyon’s Lash: Adds a magnetic melee pull to your tactical.
Heavyarms Salvo: Successfully landing hits marks enemies for a devastating air support missile strike.
Zero Sacrifice: A high-stakes “self-destruct” mechanic that triggers an explosion upon being knocked, punishing anyone too close.
Zero Rebirth: Allows you to enter the Void when knocked and reappear with 1 HP and temporary invulnerability.
And if you find a Care Package? You might just snag the Buster Rifle. This power weapon allows for aerial recon and fires a massive laser beam that pierces through cover and explodes on impact.
Real-World Rewards: Limited Edition Gunpla
For the collectors out there, the collaboration extends beyond the screen. Bandai Namco is releasing three limited-edition RG 1/144 Real Grade Gunpla kits based on the Apex versions of Crypto, Valkyrie, and Alter. Pre-orders for these kits are scheduled to open on March 18.
The Apex Legends x Gundam event runs from March 10 until April 14. Whether you’re here for the high-tier cosmetics or the chaotic new Wild Card abilities, it’s time to show the Outlands that you’re more than just a pilot.
