Apex Legends Season 15 will kick off the new year with the Spellbound Collection Event on January 10, 2023.

It will feature 24 limited-time in-game cosmetics for your favorite legends, Seer's new heirloom called the Showstoppers, new limited-time offers and bundles in the Store, tons of unlockable rewards and items, and the return of the community-loved Control mode.

Another welcome update will be the addition of the
