The new season 12 of Apex Legends is already here for most players worldwide. Following its release, we also received a glimpse into all the upcoming new and returning skins coming to the digital storefront.

As Apex Legends is a free-to-play FPS battle royale game, cosmetic items such as skins and other goodies play a significant role in keeping the live service model feasible. Meaning this game has no barrier to entry, but players can still choose to spend real-world money to purchase cosmetic items such as skins, battle passes, gun charms, and more to customize their play session.

Respawn Entertainment, the developers of Apex Legends, has assured the player base that they will only sell cosmetic items. As such, the design team at Respawn pays extra attention while coming up with unique-looking legendary skins for both weapons and characters.

While the event-specific legendary skins are trendy among the player base, the recolors of the legendary default skins have a dedicated fanbase of their own. These recolors give those basic legendary skins a brand new look. Also, these recolors can be collected for free using the legend tokens.

Aside from all the new and returning skin recolors, Respawn has also upped its quality bar with the Prime Gaming skins. As the name suggests, players with Amazon Prime subscriptions become eligible to collect these Prime Gaming skins.
