VALORANT Mobile to Focus on Southeast Asia

Riot Games announced that its upcoming VALORANT Mobile will focus on SEA!

The famous FPS game VALORANT which was launched in 2020 has gained lots of love from gamers.

A few months ago, the game’s developer Riot announced that it will release a mobile version of the game.

Although the announcement was not fully detailed, it is understood that it will arrive first in Southeast Asia.

Riot Devs Hint on VALORANT’s Future Focus

“we’re thrilled to soon offer the same competitive VALORANT experience to even more global players.” Anna Donolon, VALORANT’s executive producer told.

The announcement did not detail anything regarding to the date of its launch. However, it is very clear that the SEA region will enjoy it first.

“In many ways, it does make sense to potentially go out in Southeast Asia first,” Justin Hulog, a general manager from Riot told.

“But there are also unique challenges and very high expectations for how a game should perform on mobile. That could mean that we may look at other regions that are less demanding first.” 

Given its heavy influence on mobile games, Riot thought of releasing it as a priority in the region.

“VALORANT Mobile is going to have a really big focus in Southeast Asia just because of the fact that it is a mobile-first region,” added Hulog.

The developers however clarified that they are still in the process of polishing the game.

“But whether it comes first is a question that we need to weigh. One of the nice things about not going first is that it gives us time to work out the bugs.”

Currently, the pc version of VALORANT has gained huge popularity from the region. Many popular streamers emerged to their current status after playing around the game.

With SEA gamers’ love for mobile games, it is definitely expected that this treat from Riot will be well received.
