Apex Legends' next season isn't too far off, but Season 17 still has plenty to offer, including a new Collection Event unlike any that have come before it. Although The Neon Network Collection Event comes with all the trappings of your standard Apex Legends cosmetic collection, there are a few new features that make this event stand out, like the playable narrative that will see players step into Loba's high-heeled shoes and uncover the answers to a mystery that has followed her for years.

Valkyrie mains will also be pleased, as players who collect all 24 premium Collection Event cosmetics will unlock her evolving Apex Intercepter Prestige Skin. The collection itself features vibrant, colorful cosmetics with a cyberpunk twist, and the event will also include a new twist on the standard free reward track, which allows players to unlock free rewards by completing event challenges.

But it's the narrative aspect of the event that is arguably the most exciting feature. Apex's Collection Events are well-known and happen on a regular basis, but they rarely have heavy ties to the plot. The Neon Network appears to be taking things in a different direction, serving as a narrative connection between Kill Code: Part 1 and the forthcoming sequel, Kill Code: Part 2, which is scheduled to debut on July 31.
