AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
Apex Legends is partnering with the legendary Gundam franchise for a new in-game event launching March 10, 2026, featuring themed cosmetics, iconic weapons, and a reworked Broken Moon map, as reported by IGN South Africa.
Respawn is bringing legendary mecha culture straight to the battle royale arena. According to a recent reveal covered by IGN South Africa, Apex Legends is launching a major collaboration with the iconic Gundam franchise, kicking off on March 10, 2026. This crossover brings a heavy dose of mobile suit aesthetic to the Outlands, giving players a chance to deck out their favorite legends in iconic armor and wield themed weaponry that completely shifts the visual vibe of standard matches.
The update does more than just drop new skins into the store. Along with Gundam-inspired cosmetics, the event introduces a heavily revamped version of the Broken Moon map. For a game that lives and dies by seasonal content drops and mid-season refreshes, map updates of this scale are crucial for keeping lobbies engaged and squad comms active, especially as players master new rotation strategies around the terrain changes.
Whether you are queuing up on PC, current-generation consoles, or the newly minted Nintendo Switch 2, collaborations like this continue to show how modern live service games maintain their cultural relevance. Cross-media crossovers have become the norm for keeping creator streams fresh and giving battle pass grinders something new to show off. Drop into the action when the event goes live on March 10 and see how the new map changes your drop strategies.
