Garena Free Fire will be collaborating with Naruto Shippuden from January 10 to February 9, with new Battle Royale and Clash Squad gameplay elements, original bundles and collectibles, and even Free Fire’s very first Super Emote. Iconic tunes from the series, such as the Naruto main theme, will also be played in the game during the event period.
“We are excited to kick off 2025 with the launch of this epic collaboration with Naruto Shippuden,” said Harold Teo, Free Fire producer at Garena. “Fans can look forward to many never-seen-before features in Free Fire. We can’t wait for our players to check out the collaboration event for themselves and create lasting memories with one of the greatest anime of all-time!”
Players can log in to Free Fire to collect a free Hidden Leaf Village Headband and Banner, with more Naruto-themed rewards to be released down the line.
New Gameplay Features
- Hidden Leaf Village in Bermuda: Upon entering Battle Royale mode in Bermuda, players spawn in Hidden Leaf Village, where Rim Nam Village used to be located. Players can explore iconic anime locations such as Hokage Rock, the Exam Arena, and even Naruto’s house. A visit to Ichiraku Ramen Shop also earns you a bowl of noodles that will provide an EP auto-grow buff that lasts throughout the match.
- Nine Tails Strikes Bermuda: After their excursion at Hidden Leaf Village, players will find themselves on the airplane as the Battle Royale match revs up. As they get ready to parachute, players will have a special encounter with Nine Tails, which strikes either the plane, arsenal, or the ground. Depending on Nine Tails’ choice, different events will occur at the site.
- Themed Revival Point, Cyber Airdrops, and more: Eliminated players who are revived will re-enter the game through the Summoning Reanimation Jutsu, after which they will receive stronger default equipment than from previous revival points in Battle Royale. Players can also experience Ninjutsu Scroll Airdrops in Clash Squad, or engage in Jutsu-related gameplay in both modes.
New Collectibles
Players will be thrilled to discover original bundles modeled after characters such as Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, and Kakashi Hatake, emotes of signature moves from the series, and up to 6 different Skill Cards. During the event period, players can also activate Free Fire’s very first Super Emote, which summons Gamabunta during non-battle situations.
They will also be able to pick up ninjutsu scrolls randomly located on the map, such as projectile Ninjutsu that will destroy Gloo Walls upon impact, or charge Ninjutsu that deal damage to the target hit.
A slew of rewards will also be redeemable through completing missions to defend Bermuda against Nine Tails in the Special Interface event. These include the event’s grand prize, the Jiraiya bundle, and the all-new Naruto Battle Card. What’s more, as the event culminates in-game on Jan 18, players can stand to win the Sasuke bundle simply by collecting special vouchers through event missions.
