Cristiano Ronaldo is now a cyberpunk character in a mobile Battle Royale.

The Juventus forward, considered one of the best players the world has ever seen, plays a character named Chrono in a mobile battle royale game called Free Fire.

This is how it looks in-game:

“Cristiano Ronaldo comes to live in Free Fire as Chrono, set in a futuristic slum universe,” reads the official blurb.

Not only will you be able to play as Ronaldo, there is a whole universe in the game that is being built around him. It’s all called Operation Chrono.

Here is the quote from Ronaldo’s press release:

“It’s a great feeling to have not only a Free Fire character inspired by me, but also to have the entire universe within the game changing along with it.

“The Garena team has worked the game with tons of new features and items for Operation Chrono. I hope Free Fire players around the world are as excited as I am!”

Garena, by the way, is the developer of Free Fire. It’s based in Southeast Asia, with a presence in Taiwan and Latin America, and it’s apparently massive there. The Ronaldo deal is a move to expand the game globally.

This is not the first time that Ronaldo has immersed himself in the world of video games. In addition to starring on the cover of artists like FIFA, in 2015 the scoring machine got its own video game called Ronaldo & Hugo: Superstar Skaters, a mobile endless runner.

As for cyberpunk Ronaldo, well … maybe that’s what the 35-year-old will look like in a few years as Juventus desperately tries to keep him playing.
