Sea Ltd. is bringing back one of its top mobile games in India a year and a half after it was banned, a boon for the internet company’s effort to revive its growth.

Now called Free Fire India, the game will be available Sept. 5, Sea’s gaming arm, Garena, said Thursday in a statement. Partner Yotta, a unit of India’s Hiranandani Group, will provide infrastructure to store data of Indian users on local servers, Garena said.
