Garena’s brand new campaign for Free Fire, Squad BEATz, invites players from around the world to embark on a journey of self-expression this spring.

Introducing Free Fire’s Squad BEATz

Squad BEATz tells the story of four young people from around the globe, represented by Free Fire characters – Alvaro, Notora, Shirou, and Kapella – who all often feel out of place and different from others around them. In turn, this strengthens their resolve to prove and express themselves through other means, such as style and music. With their own unique cultures and personalities, Free Fire’s Squad BEATz embraces each other’s individuality as they battle their way through in Free Fire.

Just like Free Fire’s Squad BEATz, the upcoming campaign seeks to empower players all around the world to celebrate their individuality and unique personalities by expressing themselves through vibrant in-game costumes, musical genres, and unique battling styles in Free Fire.

Started on the 4 February, Free Fire fans and players can look forward to expressing their unique fashion styles in the game while also battling together in style with their squad with a revamped interface, exclusive collectibles, as well as an exciting lineup of in-game missions.

An upcoming music video featuring Squad BEATz in their personalised ensemble will also arrive on 12 February. True to Squad BEATz’s core, the theme song will showcase a unique blend of four genres – reggae, funk, pop, and K-pop – representing the four characters.

Alvaro
The Alvaro costume bundle features an electrifying shade of blue. With a pair of stylish joggers and kicks, Alvaro can move to his favourite genre of music, reggae, in complete comfort.

Notora
A purple flame emanates from Notora’s fiery outfit. This funky get-up oozes confidence and fun – a perfect pick to throw on when it is time to squad up and party to funk music with her team!

Shirou
A smoke-emitting outfit adorns Shirou. Luminescent accents enhance the overall appeal of Shirou’s ensemble and give the pop music fan a cool aura.

Kapella
Kapella, Free Fire’s in-game popstar, sports a gem-like two-piece costume complete with matching gloves and thigh-high boots – incorporating a touch of K-pop flair.

Did you know this about Johannesburg? While Johannesburg is also known as the City of Gold, or ‘eGoli’ because of its beginnings as a gold-mining town, it is known fondly to locals by the shortened ‘Joburg’, or now more popularly as ‘Jozi’.

The Randlord Mansions: History

The history of these mansions is also a story of urban warfare and preservation. In the 1960s and 70s, as Johannesburg expanded, many of the original Parktown estates were ruthlessly demolished to make way for the M1 Highway and the massive concrete campus of the Wits University Medical School. The “Parktown War” saw heritage activists fighting the bulldozers to save what remained of the city’s architectural soul. Today, several of the surviving mansions serve as corporate headquarters, schools, or museums, stripped of their private domesticity but preserved as monuments to a gilded age.

Interestingly, these mansions also played a secret role in the city’s political evolution. It was in the drawing rooms of Parktown that the “progressive” mining elite would meet to discuss the future of the country, often finding themselves at odds with the more conservative Boer government. Lady Florence Phillips, in particular, used her influence to found the Johannesburg Art Gallery, insisting that a world-class city needed world-class culture, not just gold bars. Today, walking the “Heritage Trail” through Parktown offers a haunting contrast; you stand in the quiet, manicured gardens of the victors, looking down at the pulsing, crowded city that their gold mines created. It is the ultimate “view from the top,” a reminder that the extreme wealth of Sandton today has its DNA rooted in the stone-and-timber palaces of the 1900s.
