Recently, Garena and KADOKAWA CORPORATION have excited the gaming community and anime fans by announcing the first images of the anime adaptation of Free Fire – a thrilling survival game. This collaboration is set to be officially announced in May 2024, with KADOKAWA QINGYU overseeing the project.

The highlight of the main trailer features Kelly – a beloved character from the Free Fire game. She will take on the role of the main female lead guiding the story. In the trailer, she embarks on an adventure to uncover a hidden mystery in a surreal, tranquil world. The opening sequence, featuring quick-paced action scenes, alongside mysterious elements, has left fans speculating about what is to come.

Not only is Kelly’s character design distinctively anime-styled, but she also exhibits vibrant expressions and a completely refreshed visual style. The dynamic camera angles and high-energy action sequences create an immersive experience for the audience, capturing the essence of “anime action genre”. This also marks a significant step for Garena as they aim to expand Free Fire’s presence into the anime realm, introducing the game to a broader audience.
