Apex Legends could be getting a Valentine’s Day makeover for the second year in a row, with a prominent leaker unveiling a first look at new voice lines, charms, rewards, and more hidden within the title’s latest update.

While Respawn Entertainment has unveiled a great deal of new content for Apex Legends lately, the developers have been tight-lipped in regards to bringing back a Valentine’s Day-themed event.

Prominent Apex Legends leaker ‘iLootGames’ has uncovered a wealth of content hidden among the latest files however, seemingly indicating that a new event is right around the corner.

With a strong track record of leaking cosmetic unlocks ahead of various events, iLootGames has once again revealed new content coming to Apex Legends in the near future. This time, it’s with a Valentine’s Day twist.

Providing a litany of new leaks on February 5, it was revealed the new thematically appropriate voice lines have been recorded for a number of Legends. Simply titled ‘quips’ in the game’s files, various charming quotes joke about gifts and heartbreak, while others outright reference Saint Valentine.

“Shot through the heart,” one anonymous character states, while a voice line that can almost certainly be pinned to Wattson jokes that “love is a form of energy.” 

Overall there appears to be more than 50 unique Valentine’s Day-themed quotes coming into effect throughout the potential event, so you can expect to feel the love throughout the world of Apex for its duration.

Additionally, a 2020 Valentine’s Day login reward was spotted among the files, indicating players will receive some form of gift simply for opening the game.

There’s no quite telling what this specific unlock may be, however the leaker also provided first-looks at a few items that will be available throughout the event.

Boasting an Epic ‘Through the Heart’ weapon skin, as well as a Legendary ‘Love of the Game’ banner, 2019’s minor event came just nine days after the release of Apex Legends in the 1.03 Preseason Patch.

Players were also rewarded with a free badge after reviving or respawning a companion in the heat of battle. 

The 2019 version of the event lasted one week in total, and given that Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, it’s likely that Respawn will officially confirm the event over the course of the next few days.

Not the first time that this particular community member has accurately leaked upcoming content, they were also responsible for first looks at Christmas-themed items throughout the recent Holo-Day Bash.

There’s no indicating just how large the Valentine’s Day event might be this time around, but with a wide array of voice lines and unlockable content already made public, it certainly appears to be a significant step up from the first iteration.
