The X/Twitter account for the television anime adaptation of Singaporean game developer and publisher Garena‘s Garena Free Fire battle royale shooting game revealed on Saturday the anime is titled Free Fire Daybreak, and will debut in spring 2027. The account also revealed a new visual.
Ken Takahashi (Ragna Crimson, Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya) is directing the anime. Japanese studio Candy Box (Blue Archive The Animation, Azur Lane: Slow Ahead!) is producing the anime. Sus4 Inc. (Ragna Crimson) is producing the music.
The anime is planned to be broadcast and streamed worldwide. Kadokawa and Garena are co-producing the anime. Kadokawa‘s Kadokawa Qingyu subsidiary is the production manager.
Garena Free Fire is a third-person shooter game. Like other games in the battle royale genre, players are dropped into a large island alongside dozens of other players, collecting supplies and weapons as they go. The objective of the game is to be the last person standing, varying strategies between actively hunting down other players, or attempting to hide as other players eliminate each other.
Garena debuted Garena Free Fire in December 2017. Sensor Tower’s data.ai website puts the game as the world’s most downloaded mobile game from 2019 to 2021, and the most downloaded mobile battle royale in 2022 and 2023. The game had 100 million daily active users in February 2024.
