Cristiano Ronaldo is now a cyberpunk character in a mobile battle royale.
The Juventus forward – considered perhaps the best player the world has ever observed – plays a character called Chrono in a portable fight royale game called Free Fire.
“Cristiano Ronaldo comes to live in Free Fire as Chrono, set in a futuristic slum universe,” reads the official blurb. You won’t simply play as Ronaldo – there’s an entire in-game universe being worked around him. It’s totally called Operation Chrono. Here’s Ronaldo’s official statement quote: “It’s a great feeling having not only a character in Free Fire modeled after me but also having the whole universe within the game-changing along with it.”The Garena team has worked into the game on tons of new features and elements for Operation Chrono. I hope Free Fire players all over the world are just as excited as I am!”
Garena, incidentally, is the developer of Free Fire. It depends on Southeast Asia, with a presence in Taiwan and Latin America, and is obviously huge there. The Ronaldo bargain is a transition to extend the game worldwide. This isn’t the first run through Ronaldo’s plunged his toe into the universe of computer games. Aside from featuring on the front of any semblance of FIFA, in 2015 the objective machine got his own computer game called Ronaldo and Hugo: Superstar Skaters – a portable unending sprinter.
Concerning cyberpunk Ronaldo, well… maybe that is the way the 35-year-old will glance in a couple of years as Juventus attempt frantically to keep him playing.
