Respawn Entertainment has just announced Apex Legends' latest in-game event: the Awakening Collection Event. A new gameplay trailer reveals the event's collection of stunning cosmetics, including an Heirloom weapon for Valkyrie which will become available once the event goes live. The Awakening Collection Event will also see the return of the fan-favorite Control LTM, along with the debut of Lifeline's Town Takeover.
Control, a limited-time game mode run by Silva Pharmaceuticals and Chevrex, is returning to the game in the wake of Apex Legends' most recent episode of Stories From the Outlands. Released earlier this week, the new episode focused on Lifeline and Octane's troubled relationship with their parents, who staged a hostile takeover of both Lifeline's Frontier Corps and the Mercenary Syndicate itself last season. With this in mind, it seems that Control's return--and Lifeline's Town Takeover--are directly connected to recent plot developments.

Now Playing: Apex Legends Awakening Collection Trailer
But modes and map updates aren't the only changes coming to Apex Legends in this event. Keep reading for a breakdown of all the new content hitting the game alongside the launch of the Awakening Collection Event.
A closer look at the Suzaku spear's detailed blade design.
Many of these cosmetics were leaked by a dataminer earlier this week, and it is now clear that the leak was indeed legitimate. Collecting all 24 cosmetic items is the quickest way to ensure you snag Valkyrie's new heirloom, as Heirloom Shards are extremely rare--there is less than a 1% chance of receiving them when opening an Apex Pack, though you are guaranteed to receive one set of Heirloom Shards for every 500 Apex Packs opened.
So players who are really itching to get their hands on Valkyrie's heirloom weapon should act fast. For those who are dead-set on obtaining Valyries's new heirloom, it is far cheaper to purchase all 24 Event Packs to claim the Suzaku spear for 16,800 Apex Coins (roughly $170 USD) while the event is live than it is to purchase 500 Apex Packs for 50,000 Apex Coins ($500 USD) once the event is over.
The Awakening Collection Event will be live for two weeks, so make sure any event-exclusive cosmetics you desire are purchased before the event ends. More information about the event can be found via Respawn's official blog post, which describes the latest update in detail.
Apex Legends is available for free on console and PC.
