Riot Games is working on bringing ‘Valorant’ to mobile devices, aiming to offer a unique experience for Android and iOS users. Announced in 2021 during the game’s first anniversary, the mobile version has faced development challenges but is progressing steadily.

Unlike a direct port from PC, ‘Valorant Mobile’ is being crafted as a standalone product. This approach requires creating new gameplay mechanics, optimizing graphics for mobile, and designing a user-friendly interface. Studio head Anna Donlon mentioned that this strategy has slowed development but is essential for delivering a quality mobile experience.

Leaked gameplay footage suggests that familiar maps, weapons, and agents from the PC version will be present in the mobile game. However, matches are expected to be shorter than the typical 30-45 minutes on PC, catering to mobile gaming habits. Notably, there will be no cross-platform play, as Riot focuses on a mobile-centric experience.

The mobile gaming market is highly profitable, with players often engaging more and spending more than PC gamers. By entering this space, Riot aims to meet the growing demand for high-quality mobile shooters, combining strategic gameplay with competitive elements.

As of now, ‘Valorant Mobile’ is expected to be released in late 2024, with beta testing already underway in China. This indicates that development is on track, and players can look forward to experiencing ‘Valorant’ on their mobile devices soon.

Ysmael

Ysmael “Eng” Delicana is a writer based in Davao City, Philippines. He earned his bachelor’s degree in economics at Ateneo de Davao University before continuing to teach part-time at the same university. While teaching was a fun gig, being a geek and a writer seemed to be his calling. His expertise includes fantasy shows and movies, comic books, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and popular RPG video games. Ysmael also excels at learning new things and getting to know new topics that are interesting yet foreign to him, and that’s why he can also be called a jack of all trades. He also works as a part-time writer for books about sports. As an avid fan of fantasy TV shows, video games, and books, Ysmael is fond of watching, playing, and reading things related to fantasy, magic, and mystical creatures. However, he is also a huge fan of anime, as he spends a portion of his time watching shonen anime. As long as something is interesting and worth his time, Ysmael tends to devote his effort to it, as he has been great at geeking out about a certain topic. Ysmael’s writing style tends to be quite conversational in the sense that he likes speaking to the readers instead of making them feel like they are reading something tedious. He picked up this during his teaching years because he needed to find ways to simplify topics that tend to be foreign and complex to students. Ysmael also writes for Comic Basics.
