Is Winter Express coming in Apex Legends Season 23? Possibilities explored

Winter Express was one of the staple holiday events in Apex Legends where players would be able to enjoy fresh gameplay while fighting for a different objective. However, with this game mode being absent from EA’s battle royale for a long time, the community did raise some concerns. Fortunately, the official X page of Apex Legends has now posted a short clip of Mirage in a unique Christmas skin, hinting at the arrival of the Winter Express.

The Winter Express LTM (Limited Time Mode) is a unique take on capturing the flag. It is an entertaining mode as players horde the moving train around World’s Edge and fight to defend their place. A point system was incorporated to track the progress of each team while allowing teams to respawn endlessly.

This article will shed more light on the possible return of Winter Express in Apex Legends Season 23.

Will Winter Express be available in Apex Legends Season 23?

Apex Legends Season 23 Split 2 is just around the corner and will likely introduce the Winter Express LTM. This is primarily because the official social media account of the game released a post that contained Mirage in a special cosmetic, with snow in the background. The voice lines also seem to refer to the sound of a train’s engine, which would solidify such an assumption.

Winter Express was in the game for a long time before being removed as the developers started experimenting with different LTMs (like Revenant Uprising in Season 19). This sudden change caught most of the community off-guard and led to a lot of backlash, as the devs only introduced cosmetics and collection events instead of the winter holiday game mode.

If this game mode makes a comeback in Season 23, the LTM will potentially return with new sets of skins for the characters and weapons. Players might even get a chance to earn some free rewards directly from the limited-time event. However, there has been no official confirmation of the LTM and any new items.

The Apex Legends Season 23 Split 2 is also expected to bring about a lot of Support class balance changes alongside weapon updates. On top of this, the Rift Relics mode will likely introduce the Grenade Launcher gun in Trios alongside some new movement mechanics. Since the game recently received the Lifeline rework, it is unlikely that there will be a new legend or a different rework.
