“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,” said Ronen Gross, VP of business development at Plarium. “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.”
For new players that miss out on the 7-day unlock window, you can still add Rousey to your roster through a special in-game event that ends on May 15th. Players can also receive in-game promo codes through February 28th that can unlock Rousey-related rewards. Rousey will debut her Champion in the next few weeks during a Facebook Gaming channel stream, and she couldn’t be more thrilled to be recreated in the game.
“As someone who loves games with strong female leads, it’s exciting to actually become one,” said Rousey. “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.”
Rousey joins over 700 Champions already featured in the game, and she will be playable in all game modes, including single-player campaign, Dungeons, the Arena, Faction Wars, Doom Tower, and Clan vs. Clan Tournaments. You can find the official description for RAID: Shadow Legends below.
