Free Fire debuts biggest ever anime collaboration with hit series Naruto Shippuden

• Free Fire's hotly-anticipated Naruto Shippuden collab is finally here!
• Battle the nine-tailed fox, equip cosmetics themed after your favourite characters and more
• Use signature jutsus from the series and fight to claim the Jiraiya cosmetics bundle

Well if you were waiting for something big the first few weeks back of 2025, you don't have to wait any longer! And that's because Garena Free Fire's most-anticipated collaboration thus far is about to start. That's right, Naruto Shippuden is now arriving in-game, starting January 10th!

If you've been living under a particularly dense and isolating rock you might not be aware of Masashi Kishimoto's landmark series. Set in a pseudo-fantasy universe filled with various styles and disciplines of ninjutsu, it follows the titular Naruto Uzumaki who plays host the the legendary (and extremely dangerous) nine-tailed fox in his quest to become hokage and gains the respect of his peers.

While it may have finished a few years ago now, the series is still mega-popular, and now in Garena's hit multiplayer shooter, you'll be able to reproduce Konoha in the Bermuda map, equip cosmetics themed after characters like Naruto and Sasuke, and much, much more!

Oh, you thought we were done? Well, not even slightly. Because one of the most exciting new additions will see players encounter the legendary Nine-Tails Fox itself. Each match starts with it either attacking the plane, ground or arsenal, with its choice of location drastically affecting each match with different events.

You'll also be able to experience themed revival points, and equip different jutsus such as the iconic Chidori and Rasengan, not to mention a set of themed events to defend Bermuda from the nine-tailed fox, with the ultimate prize being the Jiraiya bundle and its bevvy of cosmetics.

Given how long this collaboration has been teased, it's no surprise that it's coming full force with a whole load of great features. But hurry! Because this collaboration only lasts from January 10th until February 9th, so you'll want to jump in while you have the chance.
