Fight or Fright brings New Shadow Royale LTM in Apex Legends

Fight or Fright brings back last year’s Shadowfall LTM, but with new twists. The Shadow Royale LTM will take players to Kings Canyon After Dark, the alternate dimension where Revenant runs the Apex Games. In this game mode, players will jump in as the usual Legends but will resurrect as powerful Shadows after dying.

The shadows will be armed with abilities such as a brutal melee attack, enhanced mobility and speed, double jumps, and wall-running, as shown in the event trailer.

Instead of jumping in solo, players will team up as Shadow Squads in this LTM. This means as long as one legend stays alive, teammates remain as shadows to terrorize other squads and help carry their squad to victory. Final Death ensures that when the final legend dies, all shadows die too. Shadows will also have infinite respawns until their living teammate(s) are eliminated or emerge victors as the last living squad.

Meanwhile, the event trailer also showed Shadow Prowlers. Players can expect surprise encounters with these creatures. As Respawn mentions in the Fight or Fright Event announcement, “Revenant is running a shelter for abandoned hell-beasts, and you might just end up adopting one to help you win the match.

Overall, the Shadow Royale LTM is an exciting shakeup of last year’s spooky festivities.
