Spooky season is almost upon us, and in Apex Legends land, that means a four-week event of sinister skins and some fun limited time modes. As well as Apex's staple Halloween event Shadow Royale coming back for a run on a nighttime Olympus, everybody's favourite LTM that should be a permanent mode, Control, is returning too.
Respawn has revealed the full schedule for the frightening four-week fiesta, and in week three of the event, players will be able to jump into Control for the first time since June. The two-team, objective-based respawn mode has fleetingly appeared in Apex on a few occasions now, and while there have been creases to iron out, players have begged for it to be added to the game as a permanent mode due to it's easy-going, low stakes nature that makes it an excellent warm up for more serious action in Apex Legends ranked.
Control will be played across three of its distinct POI-based maps: Barometer, Lava Siphon, and Hammond Labs (which will be the version in the Olympus After Dark map variant coming in Fight or Fright this year).
