Apex Legends progressed into Season 6 a few weeks ago, and the game has kept flourishing. Like previous seasons, this season has also incorporated several exciting features and changes and kept fans glued to their seats.
A new season is not only about the fresh content. It is also about the host of new events that arrive with it. Over time, these events have become a salient feature of Apex Legends as fans can never get enough.
Respawn had recently announced the initiation of the September Soiree, which would be the first such event in Season 6. The September Soiree intended to bring back some of the classic limited-time-modes (LTM) to the battle royale. However, within a few hours of going live, players faced a game-breaking glitch with DUMMIE’s Big Day, causing server crashes.

One of the nostalgic features of this map is the existence of Skulltown. Back in Season 5 in the regular Kings Canyon map, Skulltown was destroyed by the events that marked Loba’s arrival in Apex Legends. With the introduction of Kings Canyon After Dark, players can now hop into the Skulltown of the past for a limited time.
