Apex Legends Is Getting A Mirage-Themed, Christmas Event Called Holo-Day Bash

During The Game Awards 2019, Respawn announced its next seasonal event for Apex Legends. Called Holo-Day Bash, the limited-time event is winter holiday-themed and focuses on the holographic trickster, Mirage.

The Holo-Day Bash adds several new winter and Christmas-themed skins and voice lines. With their new skins, Mirage transforms into a nutcracker, Octane becomes a wide-eyed reindeer, sadistic Caustic adopts the jolly demeanor of Santa Claus, Crypto appropriates the look of Jack Frost, both Pathfinder and Wattson throw on Christmas-themed attire, Bangalore dresses up as a demonic snowman, and Gibraltar is a polarbear. Sadly, Wraith and Lifeline are left out in the cold.

Like previous events, Holo-Day Bash adds a new limited-time mode as well. Called Winter Express, the new mode is a king-of-the-hill take on the battle royale, with World’s Edge moving train the point on the map that teams need to hold in order to score points. Score enough points and you win the round. Win three rounds and your team is crowned champion squad. Similar to Fight or Fright’s Shadowfall, you can respawn multiple times in Winter Express. It seems like Kings Canyon’s dropship makes an appearance too alongside the train, offering another way for you to secure high-tier loot.

The train itself is tied to the Holo-Day Bash’s town takeover. Back in Kings Canyon, Octane and Wraith had town takeovers in the Iron Crown and Voidwalker events, respectively, which transformed portions of the map to reflect the characters’ personalities and backstory. For the Holo-Day Bash, Mirage’s town takeover transforms the train into his train. He’ll be the conductor, and some of his announcements as the train moves around World’s Edge will reveal backstory on the holographic trickster.
