The rise of Battle Royale is more than evident. One of the most popular despite being overshadowed by the growth of Fortnite has been Free Fire . In fact, its launch came only a few months later.
Even so, the title developed by Garena has remained firm against the rest of mobile video games that occupy this genre. This has been possible thanks to the multiple updates that have renewed the delivery on different occasions. The next one comes on December 17 under the New Era event , which is loaded with news.
Prepare for the snowfall
The main novelty has to do with the map where the game of Free Fire takes place. A terrifying snow storm has led to the creation of a new area known as the Alps . As a result of this situation, the Elite team consisting of Wolfrahh, Misha and Mr. Waggor have entered this frozen world with the aim of obtaining the energy core that will allow the location to be habitable by humans again.
However, after an unexpected event, enemies steal the core, leaving the island and its survivors to their fate as they face the unknown danger that awaits them in these vast snowy wastes.
New modes and activities
How could it be otherwise, this update is accompanied by new game modes that will completely change the methodology of the players. Resource management will gain special relevance , as survivors can build a camp to house the inhabitants of the Alps and protect them from frequent snowstorms. These survivors will be rewarded with exclusive cosmetics at the end of the event.
The Lone Wolf mode has also undergone minor changes. Specifically, a ranking system that will debut on the 20th of this month. Survivors can now enjoy 1v1 or 2v2 combat in an all-new Iron Cage. This ranking system will help to find a better balance between the players to make the game more exciting.
Regarding the beginning of the games, in the anteroom you can carry out battles with snowballs against the rest of the players who are preparing for combat.
Christmas gifts
These Christmas updates don’t usually bring only game modes, but also exclusive collectibles that you can get for a limited time . A host of gear of all kinds is coming to Free Fire, including Christmas outfits and props, as well as a new mascot. At the moment all the details are unknown, but the company has stated that more information will be made public in the coming weeks .
According to Garena, users should be attentive to the different Free Fire channels to know the latest updates regarding this event. From the developer they confirm that players must prepare for the avalanche of content that is coming our way. We have to wait to see how the mapping changes completely and how it will work in the face of the snowstorm, but without a doubt it is a total face lift so that consumers feel that they are facing a new delivery. We remember that New Era will come to Free Fire on December 17.
