News that Justin Bieber was set to debut a new single in Garena's Free Fire may have raised a few eyebrows but any fan of the game will know he isn't the first major collaborator to touch base with the battle royale.

The game has seen footballer Cristiano Ronaldo, Egyptian musician Mohamed Ramadan, and even car manufacturer McClaren among many others.

Some of these collaborations haven't been mere promotional material either, with Ronaldo even getting himself an in-game character using his likeness and gifted with some superhuman abilities for players to utilize as they look to secure that next win.

Now its the turn of Justin Bieber, or as his in-game character has come to be known J.Biebs, because not only is he going to be hosting a concert on August 27 in Free Fire, but he will also become made available as a playable character with his own special ability

Free Fire: Justin Bieber To Be Playable Character

A few short days after Justin Bieber was announced to be performing a concert in Free Fire as part of the game's fifth-anniversary celebrations, the developers have revealed that Justin Bieber will also be a playable character.

Not only that, but we also have a short bio and a breakdown of his Special Survival ability for a character that will come to be known as J.Biebs.

"J.Biebs is a man who wants to unite a fractured world," reads the official bio.

"Through his childhood experiences, he learned that the answer to people’s problems is not money or power but the actual connection between people. He has decided to use his singing skills to dedicate his life to reunite the world."

Like the game's other characters, J.Biebs will have an ability called Silent Sentinel with six unlockable levels, players can unlock the higher tiers of the ability by collecting J.Bieb's memory fragments with the process for doing this is not yet detailed.

Here are all of J.Biebs abilities:

  • Silent Sentinel: Skill user and allies can block damage using EP. In this case, the amount of EP deducted from allies will be added to the skill user EP (Special Survival ability)
  • Unlock level 1: Allies within 6m can block 7% damage using their EP. In this case, the amount of EP deducted from allies will be added to the skill user EP.
  • Unlock level 2: Allies within 8m can block 7% damage using their EP. In this case, the amount of EP deducted from allies will be added to the skill user EP.
  • Unlock level 3: Allies within 8m can block 10% damage using their EP. In this case, the amount of EP deducted from allies will be added to the skill user EP. Summon airdrop playcard.
  • Unlock level 4: Allies within 10m can block 10% damage using their EP. In this case, the amount of EP deducted from allies will be added to the skill user EP.
  • Unlock level 5: Allies within 10m can block 15% damage using their EP. In this case, the amount of EP deducted from allies will be added to the skill user EP.
  • Unlock level 6: Allies within 12m can block 15% damage using their EP. In this case, the amount of EP deducted from allies will be added to the skill user EP.

J. Biebs is definitely a support character his ability is tied to Ethical Power allowing himself and his allies to receive less damage when they are close to him. This comes at the cost of Ethical Power for his allies with that being transferred to J.Biebs when hit.

While not yet confirmed, it is likely that J.Biebs will become available on August 27, the date when Free Fire's fifth-anniversary celebrations begin. Whatever happens, we will keep you in the loop.
