After a brief hiatus in 2021, the Fight or Fright Event is set to return for a third year in Apex Legends.

The event is set to begin on Oct. 4 and run through Nov. 1, inviting players to experience Shadow Royale on Olympus, limited-time modes rotating each week, and collect a new batch of Halloween skins. Here's a breakdown of everything you need to know about the 2022 Fight or Fright Event in Apex Legends: Hunted.

Apex Legends Fight or Fright 2022 Event Revealed

As touched on previously, the Shadow Royale LTM is set to return, this time debuting on Olympus.

Shadow Royale brings a "terrifying twist" to Trios, where any killed Legend respawns in Shadow Form. Shadows can run on walls, double jump, revive allies and deliver extra melee damage. Other Shadows can be felled with one punch. Shadows, both friends and foes, endlessly spawn until their entire squad is eliminated.

The event will debut the map variant Olympus After Dark, featuring a blood moon hanging over the city in the sky, dark streets, and the Fright Night arena for players to fight in.

Here is the weekly LTM schedule for Fight or Fright this year:

  • Oct. 4-11: Shadow Royale on Olympus After Dark
  • Oct. 11-18: Gun Run on Estates After Dark, Skulltown and Fragment East
  • Oct.18-25: Control on Lava Siphon, Barometer and Labs After Dark
  • Oct 25-Nov. 1: Shadow Royale on Olympus After Dark

As initially leaked back in August, a fresh batch of Halloween-themed skins will be available for players to check out in the store tab throughout the entirety of the event.
