Apex Legends Season 16 Release Date

Season 16 of Apex Legends is speculated to launch on Tuesday February 14th, 2023. The launch day on Valentine’s day is not a coincidence as it’s expected that there will be a special event to go with the launch. An earlier leak suggests that the event may be called ‘Date Night’, a limited Duo mode where healing and shields apply to both players within a certain proximity as well as a limited time weapon, the Heart Stealer, which is a reskin of the Bocek with additional healing abilities.
