After a near four-year silence, Riot Games has finally broken the news that their acclaimed tactical hero shooter, Valorant, is gearing up for a mobile release. Partnering with Tencent's Lightspeed Studios for development, the game is set to hit the mobile scene first in China, with plans for a broader rollout to follow.
Valorant blends the strategic depth of Counter-Strike with the unique agent abilities reminiscent of Overwatch, creating a compelling mix that's captured the gaming community's attention. The game's core mode features a tense 13-round, 5v5 match where each player has a single life per round, often revolving around the familiar defusal or planting objectives seen in Counter-Strike.
The collaboration between Riot and Lightspeed comes as no surprise, given their common ownership under Tencent. However, this official announcement is a much-needed update for fans eagerly awaiting Valorant's mobile debut.
Given the widespread use of Android in China, it's almost certain that Valorant will be available on multiple operating systems. While Riot has confirmed that Lightspeed is on board and the initial launch will be in China, specifics on a global release are still up in the air due to ongoing trade issues affecting the smartphone industry and mobile gaming.
While we may have to wait a bit longer for Valorant to make its way to mobile devices worldwide, there's no need to sit idly by.
