Despite uncertainties surrounding the relaunch of Free Fire, Garena continues to surreptitiously develop India-themed games.

Quick Summary:

The company never addressed this, but at the time that it made the relaunch announcement, it said it would partner with Indian data center company, Yotta Infrastructure, for its cloud and storage needs.

However, TechCrunch found through regulatory filings that the studio behind the game — AstroTech Studio — is led by Harold Teo, one of the directors of Garena.

Free Fire was a massive success in India before it was banned, with market research firms estimating it had around 40 million monthly active users in the country.
