Apex Chronicles

Minor lore-based events that consist of a set of in-game challenges.

Trivia

• Fight or Fright and Holo-Day Bash are the only major events that return. They both were initially released as Collection Events and came back as Themed Events.
• According to the official event structure overview released back in Season 2, possible extensions to Apex Legends' lore is a feature of Themed Events. However, as of Season 7, this appears to be no longer the case since the Fight Night event, a Collection Event, came with a Story from the Outlands.
• Events are sometimes further categorized beyond Themed and Collection: Grand Soirée is also called an Arcade Event; The Old Ways is also called a Lore Event. (By this logic, Voidwalker and Fight Night should also be Lore Events.)
• The Battle Armor event was not a planned event. It was a last-minute addition after the launch of Season 5 got moved back one week.
• Some events come with a special event-themed Music Pack. There are some exceptions.
  • Grand Soirée, Fight Night, Anniversary, and War Games never got their own music packs.
  • The returning Event Holo-Day Bash (2020) had no "new" music pack, but had the same as the original Holo-Day Bash (2019) Christmas-themed music pack.
    • However, the other returning Event Fight or Fright (2020) had an own music pack and did not share the same with Fight or Fright (2019).
  • Voidwalker had no own music pack, but "shared" and released the music pack of Wraith.
  • Legendary Hunt had its own themed music, but it was not rewarded as a selectable music pack because music packs were not integrated into Season 1.
