UPDATE 11/2/18: Cupid has terrible aim, it seems, and his mighty arrow currently appears to be embedded not in the hearts of lovers across the land but in the fritzing remnants of one of Respawn Entertainment’s servers. According to the developer, Apex Legends’ Valentine’s Day limited-time event – which re-introduces the free-to-play battle royale game’s much-loved Duos mode – will no longer begin today as previously revealed.
No reason for the delay was given in Respawn’s apologetic announcement tweet, but the good news is that players eager to buddy up with a loved one shouldn’t have too much longer to wait. Proceedings are now scheduled to get underway tomorrow, 12th February, with Respawn promising to communicate with fans once the update goes live.
Unfortunately the Valentine’s Day Rendezvous event is postponed until tomorrow and we’ll provide updates when it goes live. Sorry for any confusion!

ORIGINAL STORY 10/2/18: Apex Legends’ much-loved Duos mode is returning tomorrow for a limited-time, as part of the free-to-play battle royale game’s Valentine’s Day celebrations.
Developer Respawn first introduced a Duos mode – enabling players to squad up in teams of two rather than the usual three – for a brief spell last November, and it went down a treat, with many hoping it might eventually become a permanent addition to the game. Sadly, Duos’ return will once again be fleeting, running from tomorrow, 11th February, until 18th February.
