Ronda Rousey is taking her fighting skills to another level, becoming a playable character in Plarium’s Raid: Shadow Legends.
Rousey, an Olympian, former UFC fighter, current WWE wrestler, and well known gamer will be a Legendary Champion in the free to play mobile and PC game. All players will get free access to the Ronda Legendary Champion after seven days of logging into the game and will be available through February 28, 2023. After February 28, new Raid players can get Rousey’s character through a special in-game event. Rewards connected to Rousey will also be available.
“We are thrilled to have one of the world’s most renowned athletes join the ranks of Raid’s Banner Lord Champions, a title she is already quite familiar with in her career,” Plarium executive Ronen Gross said. “Her love of gaming and natural gifts in mixed martial arts, judo, and wrestling made this partnership a perfect fit. As expected, her Ronda Champion will mete out punishment with fiery gauntlet fists, similar to her real life counterpart, and will be a valuable addition to any team.”
“As someone who loves games with strong female leads, it’s exciting to actually become one,” Rousey said. “I look forward to sharing my champion with the Raid fans on my channel and helping them level up their game using her unique skill sets.”
The announcement was made via a video that shows Rousey storming into the Raid: Shadow Legends office to demand that she be added to the game.
