Night City is landing in the Outlands on 14 July 2026. Respawn Entertainment and CD PROJEKT RED have announced the Apex Legends × Cyberpunk Event, bringing a full Night City makeover to E-District, two new Cyberware gameplay mods, and a roster of skins pulled straight from Cyberpunk 2077 and the beloved Cyberpunk: Edgerunners anime. The event runs from 14 July to 4 August 2026 and is free to play on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
Night City Takes Over E-District on 14 July
E-District — the neon-soaked map introduced to Apex Legends last year — is getting a full Night City facelift for the event. Towering Arasaka billboards, holographic koi drifting through the skyline, glitched-out corpo signage and the Wildcard game mode label plastered across the skyline all point to one thing: Night City is the vibe, and it lands exactly as described in the official Cyberpunk announcement. The themed redesign applies specifically to E-District during the event window.
Cyberware Mods Change the Way You Fight
The headline gameplay addition is the Wildcard limited-time mode, which drops two Cyberware mods onto every player:
- Sandevistan — directional dashes that also recharge your shields. You can chain two dashes before touching the ground, making it ideal for closing gaps or breaking out of a tight corner. Edgerunners fans will recognise this one immediately.
- Blackwall Breach — lets you phase into the Net to reposition, then release an EMP burst that damages shields and reveals enemy locations. A repositioning tool and a scanner in one.
Overuse your cyberware and you risk Cyberpsychosis — you transform into a melee-only berserker with no weapons or abilities, but boosted speed and damage. It’s a risk-reward layer that adds genuine tension to fights and keeps the Cyberpunk fiction intact in a way that feels earned rather than cosmetic.
Eight Legend Skins from Cyberpunk 2077 and Edgerunners
The collab brings eight Legend skins, each mapping a Cyberpunk character to an Apex Legend. The full set of six confirmed skins shown in the official press kit pairs the Edgerunners crew with the Apex roster:
- David Martinez (Edgerunners) → Sparrow skin
- Lucy (Edgerunners) → Aksel skin
- Rebecca (Edgerunners) → Rampart skin
- Royce (Cyberpunk 2077) → Gibraltar skin
- Lizzy Wizzy (Cyberpunk 2077) → Ash skin
- Panam (Cyberpunk 2077) → Loba skin
Lifeline and Crypto also receive skins from the Cyberpunk universe, bringing the Legend skin count to eight. Each skin is priced at 2,150 Apex Coins in the in-game store. Eight weapon skins — for the Wingman, Charge Rifle, Mastiff, L-STAR, P2020, RE-45, R-301, and Kraber — are also part of the Cyberpunk Collection available from 14 July to 18 August.
Skippy Returns as a Mythic Alternator
For Cyberpunk 2077 veterans, the standout cosmetic is the return of Skippy — this time as a Mythic Alternator. The AI-talking gun appears with its two signature modes: Puppy Loving Pacifist and Stone Cold Killer, and it will comment on your gameplay just as it did in Night City. If you played Cyberpunk 2077 and kept Skippy, you know why this one lands differently than a generic weapon skin.
Free Rewards and How to Earn Them
Not everything costs Apex Coins. During the event, completing challenges earns you Eddies — the in-universe Night City currency — which can be spent in the event Reward Shop. Free earnable items include an Epic Valkyrie skin (Arasaka Flight Protocol) and an Epic Mirage skin (Kang-Tao Specter), plus Battle Pass stars and additional cosmetics. The Reward Shop runs the duration of the event, so there’s no rush to grind it all in a single session.
Youtooz is also releasing limited-edition Nessie plushies in Lucy and Rebecca variants, available for pre-order from 15 July to 18 August for the collectors in the room.
For Singapore players: Apex Legends is free to play on Steam, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S with no region restrictions. The Cyberpunk collection is available in the in-game store from 14 July. If you played Cyberpunk: Edgerunners on Netflix and have been waiting for David and Lucy to show up somewhere playable — this is that moment. Catch more game news here.
