Dubai, 05 December 2021 – Yesterday, millions of Free Fire fans all over the world celebrated the game’s first major global brand campaign, Battle In Style, at a dazzling live showcase that combined music, dance and cutting-edge technology. The livestream was a real treat for the senses for all, featuring T.R.A.P., the virtual band made of Free Fire characters Kelly, Moco, Miguel and Antonio, who performed solo hits in their distinct styles. The four reunited to perform a special, never-before-released Battle In Style anthem after Free Fire players tuned into the game to unlock the 150 million Global BOOYAH Milestone.
Catch this recap for all the highlights from the showcase.
Battle In Style is a new brand identity for Free Fire that encourages players to face both in-game and real life battles creatively, and in a way that is unique and authentic to them. The anthem, inspired by Battle In Style and Free Fire’s ethos of diversity and inclusivity, was created by blending each T.R.A.P. member’s song into one. The result was a catchy, rhythmic blend of music styles, from Antonio’s rap, to Moco’s electronic, Miguel’s country and Kelly’s pop.
