The festive season may have passed, but the chill of winter lingers on with the upcoming Winter Wipeout event in Apex Legends. This event promises new limited-time activities, updates to legends, and an exciting addition called the Wild Card for players to enjoy.
Scheduled to kick off at 6 pm GMT on January 6, 2026, the Winter Wipeout event will run for three weeks until January 27, offering ample time for players to engage in the new modes and acquire exclusive cosmetics. Even after the event concludes, event-related cosmetics will remain available for purchase in the shop until February 10.
A highlight of this event is the introduction of the Hoverboard wildcard, which players can use for various tricks and abilities such as double jumps, wall-rides, and aerial stunts for EVO rewards. Additionally, some legends like Newcastle, Octane, and Crypto have undergone adjustments to their abilities, enhancing their gameplay experiences.
As expected, the Winter Wipeout event features a range of legendary skins for characters like Bloodhound, Alter, Fuse, Mad Maggie, Gibraltar, and Newcastle, as well as matching skins for different weapons. Players can find more details about the event by checking out the full patch notes on EA’s website.
