Cristiano Ronaldo Can Be The Next Free Fire Character

Garena Free Fire always finds interesting ways to level up its content via collaboration with famous brands around the world. So far, the game has shaken hands with Money Heist, DJ Alok, KSHMR, and Ragnarok. These successful collaborations bring a feeling of excitement to the community. And if the speculations are correct, Free Fire is stepping up the game with a potential partnership with the legendary football player Cristiano Ronaldo.

Free Fire × Cristiano Ronaldo Collaboration

Cristiano Ronaldo needs no introduction. The world-renowned legend is currently playing for Juventus Football Club and the Portugal National Team.

However, that Free Fire planned out a contract with Ronaldo does not just all pop out of thin air. You may not know this, but Ronaldo has worked with the parent company of Garena for a very long time! The leading online shopping platform Shopee enjoyed the company of Ronaldo in several marketing campaigns before. The football superstar is also the brand ambassador of the shopping app.

Shopee and Garena both operate under the same parent company, SEA Limited. Ronaldo has appeared in various ads promoting the app. So, it would make sense that the SEA group entices Ronaldo into featuring for Garena Free Fire as well.

What will This Collaboration Bring?

With the Free Fire Continental Series concluded in total success, the game now shifts its focus towards the new event "Operation Chrono". No official information about the event is out yet, except for the banner with Ronaldo in the OB25 Advance Server.

The event may be live on December 7th. And considering that CR7's jersey number is also 7, this may not be a coincidence. If all the claims are correct, the new character Chrono will be based on Ronaldo. He'll hit the live server on December 19th as per the leaks. 

New Mystery Character Chrono

The Free Fire OB25 update will come with some new characters. One of them currently available on the Advance Server right now is the Mystery Character. Speculations suggest that he is inspired by Cristiano Ronaldo. His unique skill, ‘Time Turner" is an active one. It creates a protective force field around the player which can block up to 500 damage. At max level, the skill also grants a 40% movement speed buff to all allies within the dome for 10 seconds. The cooldown duration is 40 seconds.

New Emotes and Skins

Emotes may also be an interesting aspect to look at in the OB25 update. A new emote will display footballing skills. The player juggles a football like a pro when using this emote. Cristiano Ronaldo’s signature celebration move ‘Si!’ may also be a part of the new emotes in this collab. Apart from this, the new bundles for Chrono may be based on the theme of a futuristic fantasy world with Ronaldo himself being the star.
