Indian battle royale fans are in for exciting news as the Free Fire MAX x Gintama Collaboration is expected to arrive very soon. Since Free Fire MAX serves as the Indian version of Free Fire, most collaboration content released globally typically makes its way to the MAX version as well.
With multiple leaks and trailer hints already circulating, the upcoming anime crossover is generating massive hype within the Indian gaming community.
Free Fire MAX x Gintama: Expected Release Timeline
According to data miners and recent promotional leaks, the collaboration is likely to launch in April 2026, aligning with the global rollout. The event is expected to be introduced alongside the next major patch update, which should mirror the OB53 update cycle of the standard Free Fire version.
Although Garena has not officially announced a separate schedule for India, previous crossover events suggest that Free Fire MAX players usually receive content either simultaneously or shortly after the global launch.
If the April timeline holds true, players still have a short window to stock up on diamonds and prepare for premium spins and bundles.
Confirmed and Expected Characters
The highlight of this collaboration will be the arrival of iconic characters from Gintama. Based on current leaks, players can expect:
- Gintoki Sakata as the main premium bundle
- A themed Fist Skin with special effects
- Custom lobby animations and possible voice lines
In addition, other fan-favorite characters are rumored to be part of the event, including:
- Kagura
- Shinpachi Shimura
This would allow players to recreate the legendary Yorozuya squad inside Free Fire MAX matches.
Another major talking point is Elizabeth. Leaks suggest Elizabeth could arrive either as a full-body costume bundle similar to Dino outfits or possibly as a special in-game pet with unique animations.

Event Mechanics and Rewards
As seen in previous high-profile collaborations, the main character bundles are expected to be available through a Token Wheel or Ring-based Luck Royale event. This means players will likely need diamonds to participate in spins.
Interestingly, some Indian players have already noticed special “Luck Tickets” appearing in ongoing top-up events that currently serve no clear purpose. Many believe these could be early indicators of the upcoming Gintama-themed spin event.
