Apex Legends Crosses Into Night City With Cyberpunk Crossover

Respawn and CD Projekt Red are using a Wildcard-only event to add a Night City map makeover, new cyberware mechanics plus paid cosmetics to test risk‑reward gameplay.

Overview

  • The timed event launches on July 14, 2026, and will be playable across PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, and PC via the EA App, Epic Games Store and Steam.
  • E-District is temporarily remade as a Night City–styled zone with neon skyboxes, holo signage and other visual dressing to give Apex a Cyberpunk look without changing core maps permanently.
  • Eight Legend skins and multiple weapon skins arrive in the collection, including a reactive Mythic Alternator based on Cyberpunk’s Skippy that has two modes and voice lines tied to its behavior.
  • Wildcard mode gains two Cyberware mods—Sandevistan for chained dashes and Blackwall Breach for phasing plus an EMP—while a Cyberware meter can trigger 'Cyberpsychosis' that strips weapons and abilities and is countered by Immunoblocker items.
  • The event uses an in-event currency called Eddies and a Reward Shop for exclusive cosmetics, includes external merch preorders such as Youtooz plushies, and reflects Respawn’s strategy of containing experimental gameplay in Wildcard to protect ranked play.
