Apex Legends confirmed its first new event of season 17 today, Threat Level, which will launch on May 23. The event is full of space-themed cosmetics and a featured LTM that the Apex community voted on. But judging by the reception to the trailer, it doesn’t seem like many players are actually excited about it.
Threat Level isn’t described as a collection event, like many of Apex‘s biggest events are, and it doesn’t have any sort of Heirloom or Prestige skin prize for unlocking all of the event’s new cosmetics. Instead, it has a series of skins that players can unlock, the customary free prize tracker for events, and a two-week period where Control will always be available to play at any time instead of rotating in the Mixtape playlist. And all of that seems to be exactly the problem: Apex players have seen all of this stuff before.
