Apex Legends may finally be teaming up with Star Wars in a major crossover. Recent leaks reveal new heirlooms, iconic collab skins, and even a mythic deathbox, all pointing to a Season 28 event. If true, it could be the first Apex event to feature two heirlooms at once while also tying into EA’s upcoming Star Wars release.
TL;DR
- Star Wars x Apex Legends collab is likely, based on new game file references.
- Two heirlooms are teased: Saber Heirloom and Whip Heirloom.
- Event window targets Season 28, around February or March 2026.
- Eight Iconic skins are listed for Alter, Catalyst, Crypto, Gibraltar, Mirage, Octane, Revenant, and Valkyrie.
- A mythic deathbox tied to the mythic whip is included.
- The collab may also promote EA’s upcoming Star Wars: Zero Company.
What the leaks claim
Reliable leakers, such as Hypermyst, say Apex Legends just added two new heirloom codes in the latest build. The entries are Saber Heirloom and Whip Heirloom, which align with weapon types from the Star Wars universe. Early info points to a Season 28 release window, likely in February or March 2026.
Two heirlooms in one event
This could be the first Apex event to ship two heirlooms at once. Files also reference a mythic deathbox tied to the mythic whip, suggesting a premium reward track and layered cosmetics for completionists.
Iconic collab skins
Iconic tier skins have historically been collab only. The files point to eight iconic legend skins for:
- Alter
- Catalyst
- Crypto
- Gibraltar
- Mirage
- Octane
- Revenant
- Valkyrie
What are Apex Legends Iconic skins?
Iconic skins are skins that are reserved for collabs, such as the final fantasy collab, or the Post Malone collab.
Why this looks real
The past years had many fake Star Wars rumors. This time the evidence lives in new game references plus the Iconic tag that Apex used for Final Fantasy and Post Malone in 2024. The structure mirrors prior licensed events with heirlooms, cosmetics, and themed bundles.
Possible EA tie-in
Leaks suggest the collab may help promote EA’s next single player Star Wars: Zero Company, reportedly targeting 2026. If the title skews niche with turn based design, Apex Legends is a logical cross promo funnel to reach a wider audience.
Release timing
The current target is Season 28 with a February or March 2026 window. Timelines for licensed events can shift, so treat the date as provisional until Respawn or EA confirms.
