Respawn Entertainment may have accidentally revealed a new limited-time game mode for Apex Legends, as well as a fan favorite mode set to return.

As spotted by Apex Legends YouTuber, Garret, the Twitch Rivals schedule for the 8th and 9th of October appears to confirm that both Gun Game and Shadow Royale will be played during the tournament. This likely means a new in-game event will take place during this time and will see the return of Shadow Royale, as well as a brand new limited-time mode known as Gun Game.

As seen in the tweet below (via KralRindo and Garret), the event overview for the Apex Legends Twitch Rivals tournament in October lists the modes being played. Under the format tab, the schedule states that five matches of standard Battle Royale will be played, followed by one match of Gun Game. A further bullet point then states that Battle Royale matches will consist of three standard Battle Royale match and two Shadow Royale matches, confirming the return of the mode.

Shadow Royale is a limited-time game mode that was first introduced back in Season 6, and often returns during the Halloween season. The mode allows players to return upon death in a "shadow form" in order to exact vengeance on their killers and help carry their squad to victory.

Gun Game has yet to debut in Apex Legends, but it's a hugely popular mode in games such as Call of Duty, and has long been rumored to be arriving in Respawn's Battle Royale title. Respawn are sure to add their own twist to things, but the fundamentals to Gun Game are simple. All players start with the same weapon, and must progress through a set amount of guns by getting a kill, the player who gets a kill with every weapon will be the victor.

Of course, we recommend you take these details with a pinch of salt for the time being, as the developers are yet to officially confirm the existence of Gun Game in Apex Legends. But, if the leak is true, we could be seeing it arrive at the beginning of October.
