The ongoing live-service that is Apex Legends faced one of its most radical meta shifts with the addition of its newest Legend. As part of Season 29 – Overclocked, Legend Axle was injected into the roster shaking the foundation of the ongoing movement playstyle that defines the battle royale. The free-to-play was also met with the recent ‘Power Trip Event’ at the start of the summer which reshaped Wild Card with the changes introduced.

Another thing that Apex Legends has been easing into is collaborations. In the past, we saw this with Final Fantasy VII Rebirth with the ‘Lunar Rebirth Collection Event’ that arrived back in January 2025. Additionally and probably the most energetic collab yet was the ‘Apex Legends X Gundam Event’ we had just this past March. The popular Japanese franchise was injected into the core game with a Wild Card takeover event.

Now this week, Respawn Entertainment is back. In collaboration this time with Netflix’s Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. Just recently, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners II was announced with a new trailer scheduling a fall 2026 airing. This new collab arrives to Apex Legends on July 14th to August 4th. You can watch the reveal trailer in the video below:

“Cyberware’s flooding the streets of E-District, bringing faster, riskier firefights and more dynamic positioning. Push your Cyberware to its limits and risk it all, but lean too hard on your chrome and there may be… consequences,” the new take on Wild Card reads. There will be the option between the quick dash Sandevistan chrome or the netrunner Blackwall Breach phase kit.

“Push your chrome too far and it’ll push back. Every Cyberware use increases your Cyberware Capacity. Hit your limit and you’ll go full Cyberpsycho and become a high-speed melee monster,” it adds. Symptoms of going Cyberpsycho includes High movement speed; Devastating melee damage; No weapons; No abilities; No shields; No ordnance.

The takeover event also paints E-District with a neon coat of paint inspired by Night City. “Night City has rolled in and made itself at home in E-District. Towering neon skyboxes, holographic koi drifting through the sky, and glitched-out signage across the map for the duration in Wildcard of the event.”

Are you excited for this new collab hitting Apex Legends next week?

Apex Legends is out now for Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2.
