Surprise, surprise.
Exactly one year after Riot Games released its squad-based hero shooter, Valorant, the video game development studio that made its name first by developing the hit MOBA, League of Legends, is eyeing an expansion to Valorant.
On June 2, Wednesday, Riot announced that Valorant mobile was coming. The best part? There won't be cross-play. Valorant Mobile will be a stand-alone title for iOS and Android devices. When is Valorant Mobile Coming? At this point, Valorant might just end up getting an anime adaptation.
At the moment, Valorant is a Windows PC exclusive. It's currently not available on consoles, nor Macs or mobile platforms. However, the introduction of Valorant Mobile is going to change that by introducing the game to "more players around the world".
Similar to what it did with League of Legends by releasing League of Legends: Wild Rift, Riot wants to create an entire separate gaming ecosystem for Valorant with Valorant mobile.
Unfortunately, outside of an announcement and confirming that Valorant is in the works, Riot did not reveal a release date. Until then, fans can only speculate and wait for its release. But, if it's any consolation, it didn't take Riot longer than a year from announcing Wild Rift to do a limited launch of the mobile title before releasing the game worldwide in 2021.
