The announcement was hinted for weeks with similar illustrations to that of Operation Chrono before it was confirmed that the former Real Madrid star would appear in the game. While the inclusion of Cristiano Ronaldo Chrono character will definitely cheer up Free Fire users, the game could see a host of new downloaders, with the 35-year-old's fans giving the game a go. The update is scheduled to roll out on Saturday, December 19. Free Fire will also buff up M4A1 and P90, introduce akimbo Vector and other new features and elements in the new update.
