Including a Poring hat for your friends

Garena Free Fire will get in-game content from the popular MMO Ragnarok in March

Garena Free Fire has teamed up with Ragnarok to bring players some in-game content based on the long-running MMO series. The collaboration won't be kicking off until 13th March, so this is a pretty big heads up.

This will be a mixture of different cosmetic items that players will either be able to purchases or get for free through different means. Some of these new clothing and accessories will allow players to adorn their character with getup related to Assassin Cross, Porings and there will also be a Mr Smile Mask, which I imagine will be quite popular even with those unfamiliar with Ragnarok.

Beyond that, there will also be an event called 'Give your friends a Poring Hat'. This will task you with getting friends who haven't played the game in a while to log back in. Once you've invited them and they've come online they'll receive one of these cute, pink hats.

Discussing the upcoming collaboration, Harold Teo, Producer at Garena, said: “Creating memorable Free Fire experiences is a priority. Introducing relevant content that our players enjoy – through this Ragnarok collaboration – does just that. Ragnarok is well-loved by our communities across the world”.

He added: “We see similarities between Ragnarok and Free Fire, as both of them prove to be a favourite across generations of players, all over the world. Free Fire is one of the most played mobile games globally, and we believe the in-game inclusion of Ragnarok’s beloved favourites will be enjoyed by many.”

It's certainly an interesting collaboration, but as we've seen recently, Garena isn't afraid of trying a variety of different things to try and entice people to try out Free Fire. They recently made a rap song, for instance.

Garena Free Fire is available now on the App Store and Google Play. It's a free-to-play game with in-app purchases.
