Free Fire Daybreak, an anime adaptation of Garena’s mobile battle royale game Free Fire, will premiere in spring 2027. Co-produced through a joint investment by Garena and KADOKAWA, the series is planned to air and stream worldwide, including in Japan, bringing the game’s characters and setting to viewers beyond its established mobile audience.


The story follows 16-year-old Kelly in the near-future city of New Dawn, where she becomes caught up in the Horizon Corporation’s experimental Project Bloom. After awakening an ability called “Limit Break,” she joins new allies to investigate the corporation and recover fragments of her past. Kelly appears alongside familiar Free Fire characters Hayato and Moco in the newly released key visual and promotional trailer.


CANDYBOX is producing the anime, with Ken Takahashi directing, Hotaru Asafuji handling series composition and screenplay, and Kouji Fujimoto composing the music. The international production and distribution plans position Daybreak as a major effort to expand Free Fire from a mobile game into a broader entertainment franchise.
