Apex Legends Gundam Gunpla Kits on the Way

Respawn Entertainment and Bandai Namco are teaming up for an Apex Legends and Gundam crossover that will result in both an in-game event and actual Gunpla model kits. When playing the game, people will be able to get new Wild Cards abilities based on the series, use new cosmetics, and see a new version of Broken Moon starting on March 10, 2026. In the real world, pre-orders for three different types of models will start on March 18, 2026, though Premium Bandai and Amazon don't have listings live yet.

Once the event in-game begins, the visual makeover rolls out. Some of these will be free to see and experience. When you head out onto the map, you'll see Wing Gundams and remains of the mechs on the field. There will also be Bit Staves and Buster Rifles present to equip. The Wild Cards named are Epyon's Lash, Heavyarms Salvo, Zero Rebirth, and Zero Sacrifice. Competing nets you Medals for the in-game Reward Shop based on the series. Themed skins and cosmetics are also planned. 

Here's the first trailer for the crossover:

As for the Gundam model kits in the Apex Legends crossover, it seems like each gunpla will be inspired by and tied to a character. So Alter's look is used on the RG 1/144 Gundam Epyon, Crypto's for the RG 1/144 Freedom Gundam, and Valkyrie's for the RG 1/144 Wing Gundam Zero EW. Prices weren't mentioned for those. The RG 1/144 kits tend to be around six inches tall, typically are around $30-50 depending on the style, and tend to not be too intimidating if you're a beginner.

One of the last major Apex Legends crossovers involved a Square Enix game. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth elements invaded the game in January 2024. 

Apex Legends is available on the Switch, Switch 2, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, PC, and mobile devices, the Gundam crossover starts on March 10, 2026, and the themed gunpla model kit pre-orders open on March 18, 2026.

More names are also expected to be leaked as we move closer to the launch date.

FC 26 FUT Birthday Team 1 release countdown

The first FUT Birthday team will be released on Friday, March 6. The team of cards will be a direct replacement for the ongoing Fantasy FC Team 2 items that are currently in packs. The following countdown will expire once the new cards are in packs.

Players shooting enemies in The Division 2

The Division 2, for large parts, isn't very challenging if you're an endgame player, but the new Realism mode will certainly test your skills.

This special mode will be available from now till the end of March as part of the Anniversary season. This mode is vastly different from the traditional Division experience. This guide will help you figure out all you need to know about the mode if you're curious to try it out.

The Division 2 Realism mode explained

Just like its name suggests, the Realism mode is a hyper-realistic version of the The Division 2 experience. For starters, the TTK (time to kill) is rapidly low, but there's a twist over there as well. For starters, there's no HUD. There's no additional info, hit markers, or any available features that might aid your aim.

Naturally, you'll have to be precise with your shots. You can target the limbs, but it won't be effective. Headshots, on the other hand, are the best way to take down enemies. However, it won't be easy to land them accurately. Moreover, you'll need to be precise with your shots as ammo will be scarce. You'll need to secure extra ammunition from dead enemies.

You'll also need to pay attention to getting hit by the enemy. Your armor will protect you, but to a limited extent. Using heavier gear will also slow you down. You can switch to a lighter armor, but that makes you more susceptible to taking damage.

The Realism mode will only be available for the Warlords of New York expansion. If you're a veteran of the game, you can try playing the campaign once again in a different manner. If you're a new player, you can try to complete the full expansion for absolutely free of cost. The Warlords of New York expansion will be available to all for free as part of the Anniversary season.

I am not a big fan of the mode, which primarily has to do with my limited shooting skills. If you love PvP and quicker action, the Realism mode will feel fun and exciting. It also provides a different kind of Division experience, which feels like a welcome change. Of course, the Realism mode is just the start of things as there's plenty more to come to The Division 2 later this year.
