Free Fire Unveils First New Map in Three Years for Eighth Anniversary

Free Fire is celebrating its 8th anniversary in style, introducing the first new map in three years: Solara. This vibrant, light-futuristic battleground will launch on May 21st, offering players a month-long celebration filled with rewards, surprises, and a unique sci-fi atmosphere.

Spanning 1,400 x 1,400 meters, Solara blends nature and architecture, creating a landscape that feels both familiar and imaginative. From the jacaranda-filled streets of Bloomtown to the Studio and The Hub, each zone presents distinct tactical advantages, all connected by a striking twin-peaked mountain at the map's center. The light sci-fi aesthetic is seamlessly integrated into the design, enhancing the overall experience.

Solara is designed for speed and dynamic gameplay. The new full-map Slide system allows for rapid movement between zones, streamlining rotations. On-rail Gloo Wall shields offer tactical defense, while color-changing alerts help detect nearby enemies, facilitating smoother ambushes or safer escapes.

The map also features a dynamic weather system that transitions from day to dusk, impacting visibility and adding an atmospheric depth to each match. Key landmarks such as Funfair, TV Tower, and Riders Club transform as the light changes, enriching the gameplay environment. Interactive zones and hidden Easter eggs, like the secret underground chamber in Delta Isle or the tribute to Kelly at the TV Tower, encourage exploration. Starting May 21st, players can collect limited-time 8th Anniversary Tokens at the Kelly Show scene to redeem for exclusive rewards.

Complementing the map's launch, the Solarush! event will run concurrently, featuring a dedicated interface with daily and themed tasks. These challenges will encourage you to explore Solara and earn celebratory gear, including a new emote, skyboard, parachute, and animation effects, all in honor of Free Fire's 8th anniversary.
