While more than 70 million people have tried it, Apex is facing more competition than ever in the battle royale genre, with Call of Duty: Warzone, Fortnite and even a Bomberman-style game to contend with. So, restoring a map and a mode that folks care about should draw some players back in, at least for a while.

As for the Old Ways Lore Event, it runs from April 7th-21st. Some cosmetics will be available for a limited time and Legendary Hunt Skins will return to the direct purchase shop. Points and other items will be on offer through daily challenges.

You’ll be able to play a town takeover mode, in which you’ll battle prowlers (which might be familiar if you’ve played Titanfall) in a corner of World’s Edge. The aliens will drop high-tier loot when you defeat them, but you’ll also have to fend off rivals to claim the gear.
