Production company Kadokawa and game developer Garena announced on Monday that the Garena Free Fire smartphone game is getting an anime project. Kadokawa and Garena are jointly funding the anime, with Kadokawa's Chinese subsidiary, Aohane Kadokawa, managing the animation production.

Garena Free Fire, also known as Free Fire, is a battle royale game developed by Garena, which was released worldwide on Android and iOS in December 2017. The game has over 1 billion cumulative downloads on the Google Play Store, with over 100 million daily active users in February 2024. In September 2021, Garena released an enhanced version of the game titled Free Fire Max.

The game has collaborated with anime series such as One Punch Man and Shingeki no Kyojin (Attack on Titan) in 2021, and Kimetsu no Yaiba (Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba) in 2023.

The most unexpected announcement I have ever seen.

My doctor has always told me to smoke. He even explains himself: “Smoke, my friend. Otherwise someone else will smoke in your place.”

@RobertBobert it's a mobile battle royale game like PUBG, very popular in South East Asia. Before the arrival of PUBG mobile in 2018, kids play this game a lot on their smartphone

@RobertBobert Yeah, it has too much pay to win elements.
Like you can increase damage, accuracy, and decrease recoil of guns by buying skins.
You can increase speed, handling of vehicles by the same way.
Honestly, I have no idea how ff esports work.

As a 5 year player of this game,there are something that i want to share
First of all,Free Fire(or FF in short)is very popular at South East Asia,South America and South Asia(especially Indonesia and Brazil).It has been #1 mobile game in India and popular in Russia but no longer after the government ban.Recently Garena annouce FF will be back in India 2023 but still close due some problemes with the government.

Second,FF is not a gacha game,it's a battle royale game like PUBG,Fortnite...

Third,personnally me and many other gamers didn't care too much about the storyline and i don't think that the anime will be good but still this is a very big cooperate of Garena.

Unlike PUBG and fortnite, free fire has characters. and every characters got their own Lore, skills and some of them are connected to each other. For example, Kelly (the yellow tracksuit girl) is Maxim's girlfriend (they guy that using hat on the picture above) so this is kinda intresting...

ew free fire.

i wonder what kind of story it will be. something like cyberpunk? a complete original but with characters from the game? i have never played the game but i don't think its a story based game.

as long as its entertaining then why not. makes sense they are making an anime of it considering anime is trending these days and free fire is not.

The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama.
Feeling half happy, half sad.

@PPL_CaLL_Me_DUDE So, is this one of those old infamous multiplayer games where whoever has the most money is stronger?

@ZXEAN You confused me :D. So is this game a gacha in any way or not?

Free Fire was the worse version of PUBG Mobile. Some of my friends wasted 30-40k Rupees until our govt just banned the game because it was Chinese, and sometime after also banned PUBG LOL. All of their effort got wasted. The more money any player would have spent on this game, the stronger their characters and guns would get. Totally pay to win game. IDK what story will they make an anime of. Kadokawa is the producer, then if Studio ENGI does this then RIP in advance.

@SinisterDeezNuts sooner or later I imagine the hoyoverse will get the ban hammer from Washington DC. There are always going to be issues from games coming out from China. Although they do better than Japanese games, anime companies and most countries still have to enforce us law regardless

What the actual heck man, what they adapting out of this💀💀💀

But honestly though, a game I've been playing a lot back in the day being turned into an anime is absolutely wild, especially for a battle royale typa game, but I don't have high hopes for this, we'll see though, I hope I'm wrong
