announcement released today on Free Fire Brazil's Instagram page. Garena says the decision was made after a poll was taken in-game.\u00a0 The desert map was first announced in November 2019, being released for classic matches right after. In June 2020, Kalahari was officially added to the ranked mode map list but only lasted two seasons.\u00a0 https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CGXvV-bHSto\/ Related: Everything we know about Free Fire\u2019s new character, K Kalahari is a smaller, dynamic map that has more areas for players to fall and battle for good loot. The intention of the new map was to speed up combat, making squads run into each other more frequently.\u00a0 With the arrival of Kalahari, Garena removed Purgatory because of its similarity to Bermuda\u2014a decision that angered many players. After listening to the community's complaints, though, the company put Purgatory back on the list and has now removed Kalahari, all based on player feedback.\u00a0 Kalahari will still be available in Free Fire\u2019s classic mode. But the ranked mode will go back to two maps: Bermuda and Purgatory.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/02123929\/kalahari-free-fire.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/314400"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1791"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=314400"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/314400\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":314415,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/314400\/revisions\/314415"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/227734"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=314400"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=314400"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=314400"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=314400"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=314400"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=314400"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=314400"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
