The annual celebration of Golden Week is almost here and Respawn is digging deep into the vault for 2026. While the community usually expects a handful of recycled bundles this time of year the upcoming April 28 update is looking like a massive win for collectors. From the return of the fan favorite Tatakai collection to some spicy leaks regarding Revenant and the new legend Overdrive there is plenty to talk about as we head into the next season.
TL;DR
- The Tatakai skins (Ash, Alter, Pathfinder) return April 28.
- Golden Week skins from 2022, 2023, and 2024 will likely be sold as standalones.
- Revenant is leaked to receive a new Aura intro animation.
- Overdrive is expected to debut with a motorcycle themed intro.
Tatakai Collection Makes a Comeback
Mark your calendars for April 28 because the Tatakai skins are officially rotating back into the shop. This set has remained high on the wishlist for many players especially given how well the aesthetics fit the current legend roster. Unlike standard store rotations these are expected to include their original special intro animations which adds that extra layer of prestige to the character select screen.
| Legend | Skin Name | Included Extras |
| Ash | Laced Lethality | Custom Intro Animation |
| Alter | Rebel Devil | Custom Intro Animation |
| Pathfinder | Captain Mech | Custom Intro Animation |
Golden Week skins return
In a move that will likely please those who hate being forced into buying 4000 Apex Coin bundles Respawn appears to be changing their sales strategy for this event. Leaks suggest that the Golden Week skins from the 2022, 2023, and 2024 collections will be sold as standalone items rather than being locked behind massive bundles.
This is a smart play. Most veteran players already own one or two pieces of these sets and forcing a bundle purchase for a single weapon skin is a fast way to alienate the player base. If you missed out on the 2024 Revenant or Caustic sets now is your chance to cherry pick exactly what you want.
Revenant new intro
While the shop is getting a refresh the dataminers have found something even more interesting in the files for next season.
Revenant is reportedly getting a brand new intro animation titled Aura. This comes alongside rumors of the new legend Overdrive featuring a high octane motorcycle intro.
