While Garena is mainly recognized for its popular battle royale game, Free Fire, which goes head-to-head with PUBG Mobile, the Singapore-based developer has rolled out several other games. A recent entry into their lineup is Free City, a title that mixes features from Rockstar's GTA Online and GTA 5.
Soft Launch and Availability
The game has just entered its soft launch phase and is now available on the Google Play Store. However, Garena Free City is currently limited to players in Argentina. The initial gameplay footage that has surfaced showcases controls and mechanics reminiscent of mobile games like Gameloft's Gangstar series.
Gameplay Features
Garena first hinted at this game back in August, branding it as an "incredible adventure" that lets mobile players take part in various activities. Players can explore a reasonably-sized map, plan intricate heists, engage in both PvE and PvP multiplayer action, buy properties, and more. All these features make Free City seem quite similar to GTA Online.
In contrast to GTA Online, Garena Free City seeks to provide a rich narrative experience that includes stealth and assassination quests. The game also incorporates undercover missions, lending it a more organized feel akin to Grand Theft Auto 5. Moreover, the description on the Play Store hints at extensive customization options for both cars and characters.
Future Availability
At this time, there’s no information regarding when Free City will be accessible in other regions. However, it seems likely that it will make a significant global launch soon, as Garena typically doesn’t have many games restricted by region.
