The Esports World Cup is back in 2025, and Free Fire is joining the lineup! Following the successful 2024 tournament, the event will once again feature a major mobile esports title.

Team Falcons, victors of the 2024 Free Fire Champions tournament, will be looking to defend their title. Their win earned them a spot in the Free Fire World Series Global Finals in Rio de Janeiro.

Free Fire will share the spotlight with Honor of Kings in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This event, a Gamers8 spin-off, reflects Saudi Arabia's significant investment in establishing itself as a global esports hub, offering substantial prizes and attracting top talent.

The Esports World Cup's high production values are a testament to this investment. While the event boasts impressive spectacle, it currently plays a supporting role compared to other major global esports competitions. Nevertheless, its return marks a significant step forward, particularly considering the cancellation of the Free Fire World Series in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The future success of the Esports World Cup remains to be seen, but its resurgence is undeniably positive news for Free Fire and the broader esports community.
