Nijisanji has announced that they will be holding a tournament commemorating the collaboration between Apex Legends and Gundam, called “Nijisanji Apex Festival 2026,” on Saturday, March 14th at 6:00 PM. The event will be streamed live on the official Nijisanji YouTube channel.
The tournament is a festival-style event in which 60 Nijisanji livers will be divided into 20 teams and compete in five matches. This will be the first time the tournament has been held in about two years. Commentary will be provided by Kosuke Hiraiwa.
Each match has different rules. Match 1 is a “Gundam Collaboration Skin Character Only” battle limited to legends with Gundam collaboration skins. Match 2 is “Protect the Lifeline,” in which one player on a team uses a Lifeline and aims to keep them alive. Match 3 is “Wildcard: Gundam Takeover,” which uses the limited-time mode added by the collaboration. Match 4 is “Olympus Mission Relay,” in which players complete missions in a relay format on the setting of Olympus. Match 5 is a standard battle at World’s Edge.
The Apex Legends x Gundam collaboration event that sparked the tournament is scheduled to begin on March 11th. During the event, destroyed mobile suits and a giant Wing Gundam statue will appear on the map “Broken Moon.” Eight Gundam-themed Legend skins and eight weapon skins will be available, along with a Mythic melee weapon.
Submissions regarding the tournament will be accepted using the hashtag “#NijiApeSai2026.”
