Free Fire Rides Back to India as Ban Lifted

The hugely popular battle royale Free Fire may soon gallop back into India. Leaked emails have revealed secret plans for the game’s triumphant return after being banned in 2022.

Free Fire exploded onto India’s mobile gaming scene with its smooth gunplay and ability to run on budget devices. Millions of players became engrossed in Free Fire’s last-man-standing competitions. But the government suddenly pulled the plug last year, banning Free Fire alongside 11 other apps over security concerns about its Chinese origins.

Now new evidence suggests Free Fire is plotting a comeback. An email thread leaked on Twitter exposed one PR agency’s latest confidential client - none other than Free Fire itself. The agency scrambled unsuccessfully to recall the email, inadvertently confirming Free Fire’s Indian relaunch is imminent.

With the recent unbanning of fellow battle royale blockbuster BGMI, conditions seem favorable for Free Fire to ride again in India. The government may lift restrictions in recognition of Free Fire’s Singaporean roots and publisher Garena’s independence from Chinese affiliates.

Free Fire once reigned supreme as India’s champion battle royale, outpacing even PUBG Mobile with its modest hardware demands. The prospect of its triumphant return is sure to thrill former fans eager to rejoin the fight. While details remain uncertain, leaked clues suggest Free Fire is saddling up for an Indian comeback. Mobile gamers should stay alert for official word on when they can parachute back into Garena’s firefights.
