Apex Legends Shadowfall LTM: Survival Mode Night Map
We've received more details on the leaked Halloween event at Apex Legends, which was revealed after the update 3 Season, including a first look at a new LTM (limited time mode) called "Shadowfall" set on a night map.
Mode descriptions shadowfall were found in game files and are believed to be part of a Halloween event called "Fight or Frightwhich will be released later in October.
The mode sees players start the round solo, but when they are eliminated, they will join the "shadow team" - a growing team that can attack living players with melee attacks.
Night version of Canyon Kings
The leaked files appear to confirm that Kings Canyon will be used for Shadowfall mode, with the description stating "For a limited time, a corrupted version of the Apex games will be hosted at night in the abandoned Kings Canyon."
The master of these mysterious games is known only as "The Revenant". The description of the mode in the leaked game files, courtesy of @That1MiningGuy, explains how it will work:
Solo Legends fight to the death, but with a dark twist - when legends die, they are reborn as "Shadow Squad", an ever-growing faction of dark legends who return from the dead to haunt their living counterparts with increased mobility and brutal melee attacks. The last 10 living legends will join forces to try and escape while the shadow squad tries to stop them at all costs."

There is also a mention of an evacuation ship in the leaked files, which will presumably allow the last 10 people to escape.
The first teaser of the mode was also found in a leaked video file leaker @RealApexLeaks which shows the legends shadow squad, which run incredibly fast, and a demonic version of Lifeline.

While there is no official release date for this event yet, it will apparently arrive either just before Halloween or on the day itself, and will hopefully start in early November.
It's worth noting that the event itself hasn't been confirmed yet, and these leaked game files are subject to change during development.
