A new rumor suggests that an Apex Legends x Mortal Kombat collaboration could be in the works, potentially bringing characters and cosmetics inspired by NetherRealm Studios’ legendary fighting game franchise to the Outlands.
The information was shared by prominent Apex Legends leaker HYPERMYST, but the original claim reportedly comes from an anonymous post on 4chan. Because of that, there is currently no way to independently verify the supposed collaboration.
In brief:
- Apex Legends is rumored to be getting a Mortal Kombat crossover.
- Pathfinder, Revenant, Wraith, Caustic, and Axle could receive Mortal Kombat-themed skins.
- The original information comes from an anonymous 4chan post.
- Neither Respawn nor EA has officially announced the collaboration.
Apex Legends x Mortal Kombat Skins Reportedly Planned
According to HYPERMYST, the rumored crossover would include Mortal Kombat-themed cosmetics for Pathfinder, Revenant, Wraith, Caustic, and Axle. The anonymous source also claims that Respawn is planning a larger collaboration involving NetherRealm Studios.
Exactly which Mortal Kombat fighters would inspire each Legend’s skin remains unknown. Fans are already speculating about possibilities such as Pathfinder receiving a Cyrax or Sektor-inspired design, while characters like Revenant could naturally fit some of Mortal Kombat’s darker fighters. These pairings are purely community speculation for now.
A major gaming crossover would not be unusual for Apex Legends. Respawn has increasingly embraced partnership events, with EA officially listing collaborations including Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Gundam, and Cyberpunk 2077. The Apex Legends x Cyberpunk event alone introduced crossover skins for characters including Sparrow, Axle, Rampart, Gibraltar, Ash, and Loba in July 2026.
So, based on past collabs, a Mortal Kombat partnership is believable, but it does not make this particular leak genuine.
Is Apex Legends x Mortal Kombat Confirmed?
As of writing, no. EA’s official Apex Legends news page has not announced a Mortal Kombat event as of August 10, 2026. The most recent official crossover listed there is Apex Legends x Cyberpunk.
Until Respawn, EA, or NetherRealm makes an announcement, players should treat the Apex Legends x Mortal Kombat collaboration as an interesting rumor rather than confirmed upcoming content.
