Split into three different periods, a total of ten packs (nine thematic and one legendary) will be up for grabs alongside Octane, Wattson, and Valkyrie themselves. The reward periods are split up as follows:

February 8 - February 15: Octane and three thematic packs February 15 - February 22: Wattson and three thematic packs February 22 - March 1: Valkyrie, three thematic packs, and one legendary pack.

The new season will also be bringing a considerable update to the map Olympus, as well as a new Control game mode where teams of nine must battle over set points on the map. WIth unlimited respawns, it’s sure to be a breath of fresh air from the typical battle royale experience Apex Legends has to offer. All in all, this promotion over the third anniversary has helped mark season 12 as a great time to jump into the game if you haven’t touched it in some time. One of the biggest barriers on a fresh account is all those DLC characters being locked away, so taking steps to alleviate that barrier is great to see. This comes only a day after Apex Legends season 12 was revealed to the world through a new Stories from the Outlands cinematic trailer. This gorgeous peek into the universe showed us a new character - Mad Maggie - who will be joining the vast cast of characters present in the Apex games come February 8.
