As someone who grew up gaming in LAN cafes during the late 2000s, I can’t help but feel a rush of nostalgia when hearing about Crossfire making a comeback to the global esports stage through the Esports World Cup. Back then, it was the game that ruled the roost when it came to first-person shooters.
Back in the late 2000s, if you were a regular at LAN gaming cafes, it’s likely that you came across the game Crossfire. While there were numerous FPS competitors like Counter-Strike and others, Crossfire was often seen as the trailblazer in first-person shooter games.
As an avid gamer, I’m thrilled to see esports regaining momentum, and that’s all thanks to the Esports World Cup! It’s exciting to know that Crossfire is making a comeback, as it’s been chosen as one of the most anticipated titles in the world’s most prestigious esports tournament.
Smilegate Entertainment, the creators of Crossfire, have entered into a three-year collaboration with the Esports World Cup Federation. This partnership aims to introduce the widely acclaimed first-person shooter game to a global audience, with a focus on enhancing its esports elements in preparation for international competition. The game, which has already produced various media spin-offs like movies and TV shows, is now gearing up to make a significant impact in the esports world.
For over a decade, Crossfire has consistently attracted a large player base amidst other well-known shooting games like Call of Duty, Valorant, and the new Marvel Rivals. This year, in 2023, its esports league, Crossfire Stars, marked its 10th anniversary.
With Crossfire moving onto a larger and more vibrant platform, Smilegate Entertainment looks forward to introducing this timeless shooter game to a fresh group of players.
The Esports World Cup has just revealed that Crossfire will be featured on platform X for the upcoming tournament in Riyadh, which veteran gamers are eagerly anticipating. With 18 out of 25 titles already announced by the Esports World Cup, many fans remain optimistic about their games being included in next year’s event.
Team Falcons won the very first Esports World Cup this year, with over 200 esports clubs from 100 countries facing off against each other across 21 games. Esports World Cup 2024 had a massive $60 million prize pool, which is something Crossfire esports athletes will now have a chance to claim their share.
