Shadow Royale returns on Apex Legends Olympus After Dark
Apex Legends almost always celebrates Halloween by bringing back the fan-favorite Shadow Royale mode, where eliminated enemies return from the dead in Shadow Form to hunt down the surviving Legends.
When in Shadow Form, players can “can run on walls, double jump, revive allies, and deliver extra melee damage.” Shadow Form players can keep respawning until their whole squad has been eliminated.

Here’s every change to Control in Apex Legends Fight or Fright:
- NEW Timed Event: MRB Timed Event ( Get the MRB and deploy it to create a temporary spawn point for your team).
