Mirage bamboozled the audience and the hosts of the 2019 Game Awards when he interrupted the show to start the Apex Legends’ Holo-Day Bash.
Apex Legends was a strong contender in 2019. The game debuted with a bang, topping the charts and watch lists on Twitter on day one. It’s no surprise that it has a significant presence at the 2019 Game Awards as a result. Not only was the game nominated in several categories, but it also revealed Apex Legends’ upcoming holiday event, Mirage’s Holo-day Bash.
Much like Fortnite, Apex Legends teased the event on Twitter. Unlike Fortnite, Apex Legends did so with style. Multiple tweets over two weeks featured a sassy Mirage talking directly to the audience. The tweets sparked theories about a Mirage themed event coming to the game.
The theories proved correct. Mirage took to the stage, interrupting the event with style. After some banter about his award that he will get off-screen, Mirage revealed how everyone wants some more of his content. Mirage’s Holo-Day Bash is the answer.
“Best Competitor in a Battle Royale Based on Skills and Good Looks” at this year’s #GameAwards? Pff, I could win this thing with one eye closed. Or both eyes closed. Hell, I don’t even have to show up! Heh, kiddingggggg. See you Thursday! ? pic.twitter.com/hu1zkYozlW

The event starts now on Apex Legends. More than just some plucky naming, Mirage’s Holo-Day Bash brings with it some excellent new content, including amazing adorable holiday skins. Mirage takes center stage, as he should, with his clearly Nutcracker inspired skin.
