Respawn Entertainment is throwing a second-anniversary bash for Apex Legends with a special collection event. To think, it was just two years ago we had to listen to a bunch of streamers tell us they had the inside scoop on a game we knew about three weeks in advance. Now, we're in Season 8 with a bunch of new people added to the mix, challenging levels, and a ton of other things going on that don't even scratch the surface of the lore they're adding to the game. Now we're going to celebrate that two years with the Anniversary Collection Event running from February 9th through February 23rd. You can try out the new "Locked and Loaded" playlist takeover, along with seasonal challenges and the return of 24 fan-favorite items that have been given a Legendary twist. You can read more about it below before it all kicks off on Tuesday.
