The Free Fire OB52 Update is shaping up to be more than a routine patch. According to community trends and early leaks, Garena is preparing a wave of meaningful changes that could noticeably impact gameplay, cosmetics, and in-game spending choices. From a new stealth-based character to long-awaited store rotations, OB52 looks designed to keep both competitive and casual players engaged.
Step-Up Event May Feature Rare Lobby Entry Animations
One of the most talked-about additions in the OB52 update is a potential Step-Up Event centred around lobby entry animation emotes. These animations have been some of the rarest collectibles in Free Fire, and many players missed them during earlier releases.
If the event follows the usual format, a full spin cycle could cost over 1,000 diamonds, with total spending sometimes reaching 3,000 to 4,000 diamonds depending on luck. While risky, this event may be the only chance for newer players to obtain classic lobby animations. The event is expected around January 2026.

New Character Mora Introduces an Invisibility Ability
The biggest gameplay highlight of OB52 is the rumoured new character Mora. Unlike previous releases, Mora focuses on tactical movement rather than raw damage. When Mora’s ability is activated, the character becomes nearly invisible for a short duration, making enemy tracking extremely difficult in close-range situations.
This ability could significantly influence Clash Squad, rush strategies, and aggressive playstyles, especially in tight zones where visibility already matters.
Magic Cube Store Update Arrives on January 14
Garena is expected to refresh the Magic Cube Store on January 14, 2026. Several classic and fan-favourite bundles are rumoured to return, including long-requested male and female outfits that haven’t been available for months.
For players who have been saving Magic Cubes, this update could offer high-value exchanges without spending diamonds, making it one of the most anticipated store rotations in recent updates.

The OB52 update is also likely to introduce a Triple Store Update.
- The Fashion Store may add New Year–themed and returning bundles
- The Weapon Store could feature a new MP34 skin and updated Gloo Wall designs
- The Emote Store is expected to include “Make Some Noise” along with a brand-new dance emote
Additionally, the FF Token Store may receive affordable older bundles, allowing players to redeem cosmetics using tokens instead of diamonds.

High-Value Events Expected Soon
Toward late December and early January, events such as the Angelic Pants Ring, Token Tower, and Gather Around Emote Event are expected to return. These premium events typically require 4,000 to 5,000 diamonds, making them important for players planning their in-game spending.
