is a bit of a misnomer. It certainly ups the visuals from the original 2020 release of, but it also provides a fair amount of new content. The most significant is No Return, a roguelike game mode, but it also includes three Lost Levels, galleries of concept art, new skins for characters and weapons, a developer commentary track for the main game, and a few more odds and ends. Developer commentary piques interest, and its implementation in the campaign is middling, but the Lost Levels, which also include it, are a revelation.
Apex Legends gets the Buster Sword, crossover skins, and a new mode from Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
04.01.2024 - 17:59 / gamesradar.com / Buster Sword
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth comes to the world of Apex Legends later this month, complete with cosplay and the Buster Sword itself.
From January 9 to 30, the Final Fantasy 7 Takeover event will be active in Apex Legends, complete with its very own mode temporarily replacing unranked Battle Royale modes. You can check out the full the trailer for the event below for an idea of how the mode will play out.
Most interestingly, the Buster Sword will function as a 'universal' Heirloom for every character in the event. So rather than just being a reskin, you can only get hold of the Buster Sword by obtaining all 36 cosmetic events while the Final Fantasy 7 Takeover event is active in Apex Legends.
Speaking of, those cosmetics include new skins for Wattson, Crypto, Horizon, Newcastle, and others. Newcastle's basically doing cosplay of Barrett, and Horizon is dressing up as Aerate, both of which look suitably adorable. This Takeover event should purge a fair few wallets out there.
There'll also be five Materia Hop-Ups active in the special Final Fantasy 7 Takeover mode. These are all color-coded, and offer differing abilities - the blue Materia heals you when you damage enemies, for example, while the yellow Materia lets you see the remaining health of any enemies you damage.
There's also a green Materia, where reloading an empty magazine will shoot out an electric wave, and a purple Materia which grants you random critical hits on an enemy. Finally, and perhaps most excitingly, a red Materia will summon a Nessie companion to lay into other players. Finally, Nessie wins in a meaningful way.

New RPG Archaelund is Elder Scrolls with its foot stuck in Final Fantasy Tactics
I have a sneaking affection for slightly jarring genre hybrids - games like the relatively recent Disintegration and the much older Battlezone 2, which smush action mechanics together with real-time strategy, or the rather more elegant Puzzle Quest, in which you roll around a parchment landscape fighting wizards using the power of match-3. New open world RPG Archaelund, which launched in early access this week, and was brought to my attention by RPS supporter cpt_freakout, has something of that curious enchantment to it.
