When is the Apex Legends fight or fright 2022 event?

As mentioned above, those that are eliminated during a match rejoin the action in Shadow Form. Shadow Forms have the ability to wall-run, double-jump, and utilise additional melee damage to their advantage. Shadows will respawn until a squad is fully eliminated.

Shadow Royale matches take place on the Olympus After Dark map that features dark streets and a blood moon to light up the sky.
