The Esports World Cup Foundation has announced a three-year partnership with game developer Smilegate for its first-person shooter, Crossfire.

As part of the collaboration, Crossfire will be included in the 2025 Esports World Cup, a major annual esports event set to take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The inclusion of Crossfire expands the growing lineup of titles for next year’s event, which will feature 18 games, including Dota 2, Counter-Strike 2, Call of Duty, and Apex Legends.

Crossfire will be the second new title to make its debut at the Esports World Cup, following the recent announcement that Chess will also be featured at the 2025 event. Earlier this month, Crossfire concluded its world championship in Hangzhou, where Chinese team Evolution Power emerged victorious, claiming the lion's share of the $1.4m prize pool.
