Free Fire’s first crossover event for 2021 – “The Hero Trial” – will feature exclusive in-game content including reskins, costumes, and a special event interface
Dubai, January 7, 2021 – Garena today announced the full details of its Free Fire x One-Punch Man crossover event – “The Hero Trial”. The mobile battle royale’s first crossover event for 2021 will unite one of the world’s most popular mobile games with its most powerful hero.
“The Hero Trial” will immerse players in a Free Fire universe filled with disaster and chaos – one crying out for heroes to come to the fore. Under the leadership of One-Punch Man heroes Saitama and Genos, players will be challenged to unleash their inner power and become heroes in their own rights!
Commencing on January 10, the event will offer plenty of One-Punch Man in-game content, including new reskins, costumes, and even a special event interface.
Experience One-Punch Man throughout Free Fire
Players will experience the “The Hero Trial” event immediately upon entering the game. The main interface will undergo a special transformation on January 15 to reflect iconic One-Punch Man elements.
The One-Punch Man experience will continue throughout the game, with easter eggs on spawn island and reskins of popular in-game elements such as the airdrops and airships.
Battle in style with exclusive One-Punch Man fashion items
Players will have access to a variety of One-Punch Man fashion items inspired by the series – to enable them to battle in style. These will include Saitama and Genos character costumes, backpack and Gloo Wall skins, as well as a “I’m Saitama” emote!
Players will also have access to two new weapon skins – the Megapunch M1887 and M4A1.
What’s more, players who login on January 23 will get a free Saitama Surfboard skin!
Exchange One-Punch Man Tickets to undergo Saitama’s training for exciting rewards
From January 15, Saitama will be holding special training sessions that will offer players the chance to earn exciting rewards. Each training session will task players to defeat monsters; they will drop boxes in three tiers of rarity once they have been vanquished. The higher the tier of rarity, the higher the rarity of the item!
But not just anyone can be a disciple of Saitama. Players will need to earn the right by collecting One-Punch Man Tickets from in-game map drops and by completing the daily missions. Only then will they be worthy to be trained by the strongest hero himself.
Earn additional rewards in the Path to Hero web event
The Path to Hero web event will offer players even more opportunities to earn cool rewards. Taking place from January 16 to 26, the web event will send players down the hero path filled with both monsters and treasure boxes. Each treasure box will give players tokens that can be exchanged for exciting rewards in the redemption store. Players will need to earn exploration tokens by completing daily missions.
