The Epic Collaboration

In an exciting collaboration that merges nostalgia and gaming, Plarium, a renowned developer of free-to-play (F2P) video games, has announced the inclusion of Mattel's iconic characters, He-Man and Skeletor, from the beloved *Masters of the Universe* franchise in the dark fantasy RPG, *RAID: Shadow Legends*. This special event kicked off on November 25, 2024, and runs through January 8, 2025, offering fans a chance to reconnect with these legendary characters.

Unlocking Skeletor

Players can unlock Skeletor, the nefarious Lord of Destruction, for free through a unique 14-day loyalty program. To obtain this Legendary Champion, players must log into *RAID: Shadow Legends* on at least seven different days before December 25, 2024. Skeletor, who belongs to the Knights Revenant faction, specializes in using powerful buffs and debuffs while expertly controlling the Turn Meter during battles.

Ronen Gross on the Collaboration

Ronen Gross, vice president of business development at Plarium, expressed excitement about the collaboration, stating, 'We're thrilled to give our players the opportunity to add He-Man and Skeletor to their roster of Champions. The epic rivalry between these characters has captivated fans for generations, and now players can recreate these legendary battles in *RAID: Shadow Legends*.'

Acquiring He-Man

The courageous He-Man, the defender of Castle Grayskull and a powerhouse of the Sacred Order faction, can be acquired as the ultimate reward through the Elite Champion Pass. Players who complete Daily Quests can earn exclusive rewards, including a free version of the He-Man avatar and additional in-game bonuses. The Champion Pass, which runs until January 25, 2025, has both basic and elite tiers, with December 25, 2024 being the final day for enrollment.

Captivating Animation Release

To add to the excitement, Plarium has released a captivating animation that channels the retro charm of the 1980s *He-Man and the Masters of the Universe* series. The playful short features Skeletor searching for a new apprentice to aid him in his ongoing rivalry with He-Man, humorously selecting the much-loved RAID Champion Deathknight due to his similar appearance, despite his clear incompetence.

Preserving Legacy

'We made it a priority to preserve the classic appearances and personalities of Skeletor and He-Man, integrating them into the *RAID: Shadow Legends* universe while honoring their storied legacy,' Gross added.

The Masters of the Universe Franchise

The *Masters of the Universe* franchise first emerged in 1982 with a line of popular action figures, leading to the iconic animated series, which debuted in 1983. Its enduring message of self-improvement resonates with audiences to this day, transcending generations through toys, television, and digital gaming.

Accessibility of RAID: Shadow Legends

*RAID: Shadow Legends* is widely accessible, available for download on iOS and Android platforms, as well as PC through the Microsoft Store, Epic Store, or Steam.
