Garena is all set to re-enter India with its popular battle royale title – Free Fire India on September 5. The Singapore-based company said the mobile game will have a brand new identity and introduce India-centric features.

In February last year, the Indian government had recommended a ban on 54 Chinese mobile applications including Free Firewhich was one of the most downloaded games of 2021.

In an interview with indianexpress.com, Vaibhav Das Mundhra, Senior Manager and game Producer, Garena said that the modified version has been developed keeping the local laws and regulations in mind.

Free Fire India: What’s new?

Garena said it has roped in Indian cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni as the face of Free Fire India and will feature in the game as a playable character named ‘Thala’.

The game will also pack several exclusive features to help players easily reach Grandmasterthe highest rank in Free Fire which is given to the top 300 players in a region.

Just like BattleGrounds Mobile India, Free Fire India will implement ‘playtime limits’ and remind players to ‘Take a Break’ if they are playing for a long time. Moreover, the Singapore-based company will also remind users that the game takes place in a virtual world.
