In an exciting move, Riot Games has ventured into the world of mobile gaming with Valorant Mobile, currently undergoing a closed beta test exclusively in China. The character-based shooter is poised to revolutionize the gaming landscape and cater to a broader audience. Building on the success of League of Legends: Wild Rift, the developer aims to provide a fresh shooter-style experience for casual gamers. The upcoming is also expected to delight dedicated Valorant fans, who can enjoy tactical gameplay on handheld devices.
As Valorant Mobile goes through beta testing, this article dives deep into the exciting leaks emerging from this mobile adaptation, including mobile exclusive elements, a cross-progression system, a Valorant Mobile Global Championship, and more.
Valorant Mobile leaks show gyroscope option, Replication mode, and more
Developers are working to enhance the appeal of Valorant Mobile for all players. Leaked gameplay footage from the ongoing beta testing in China shows a seamless gaming experience in the Replication Mode, classic 5v5 mode, Deathmatch sessions, and the practice range.
The leaked footage suggests that the mobile version will offer customizable HUD features, allowing players to tailor their gaming interface according to their preferences and needs. This level of personalization is likely to resonate with gamers who value a tailored gaming experience.
Furthermore, the inclusion of visible blue lines on the ground guiding players to their starting points reflects the developer's commitment to welcoming newcomers and creating a less overwhelming environment.
To address concerns about precise gunfight encounters and weapon recoil, Valorant Mobile incorporates a gyroscopic mechanism. With this feature, players can control recoil more effectively.
It's worth noting that the Chinese Beta appears to be mirroring an older version (Patch 6.08) of the PC version. The Shorty shotgun is priced at 150 credits, Jett retains her 2 Updrafts ability, in contrast to the recent nerf on the PC version, and the layout of the Breeze map remains unchanged in the leaked footage, despite recent overhauls in the PC version.
The maps available during beta testing in China are as follows :
- Ascent
- Bind
- Split
- Haven
- Breeze
All the Agents available in the current Closed Beta Test:
- Raze
- Jett
- Phoenix
- Yoru
- Reyna
- Sage
- Cypher
- Chamber
- Killjoy
- Viper
- Breach
- Sova
- Skye
- Brimstone
Valorant Mobile is expected to introduce exclusive elements
Riot Games appears to be employing a strategic approach to elevate Valorant's allure for both the PC and mobile gaming communities through the incorporation of captivating animations and practice bot mode.
During the ongoing beta testing in China, the developers have introduced an exciting new feature known as the post-match MVP animation. Leaked footage of the feature showcases a unique animation for an agent displaying one of their abilities, adding an engaging visual element to the post-match experience. As the animation concludes, the game performance of the MVP player is displayed on the left side, enhancing the overall feel of the game.
MVP animations exclusive to the mobile port of the title include captivating sequences for Skye and Killjoy and have generated anticipation among players, who eagerly await more such animations, especially for Agents like Omen and Fade.
Valorant Mobile introduces a novel feature in the form of an integrated aim-training mode, allowing players to hone their aiming skills and map awareness by putting them in various scenarios. This model is a unique addition to the franchise, providing players with opportunities to practice their aim, positioning, and map awareness.
It offers two options for players: attacking a bomb site and defending, where bots engage in combat and challenge players in a map-based environment, delivering a realistic training experience. This feature, exclusive to the mobile version, also raises the possibility of similar enhancements for the PC version.
Cross-progression, tokens, and skins in Valorant Mobile
Valorant Mobile introduces the exciting prospect of cross-progression, allowing players to seamlessly transfer their skins and cosmetic items between the PC and mobile versions of the game. This feature is highly appealing, offering players the opportunity to maintain a consistent gaming identity and virtual item collection across platforms.
Cross-progression has been a popular trend in the gaming industry. This system allows players to keep their in-game progress and assets irrespective of the platform they choose to play on, leading to a more consistent gaming experience. It is important to mention that there will be no cross-platform interaction between players.
The leaked closed beta content also highlights the development of an XP-based progression system, which will allow players to level up to access agents and their corresponding gear. However, the specifics of how this system will interact with the cross-progression feature are yet to be fully clarified.
The implementation of a unified progression system across all platforms can significantly impact the in-game economy. In the ongoing beta testing phase, there have been leaks regarding a currency known as "Test Tokens."
Notably, during the beta phase, these Test Tokens are exclusively earned by completing objectives and daily rewards. It's essential to emphasize that these tokens are likely a placeholder for a purchasable currency that will be introduced when the mobile version launches globally.
Valorant Mobile global championship expected in 2024
The Valorant Mobile Global Championship for 2024 is a highly anticipated event, though it is important to note that the details are still based on rumors. There's a possibility that this championship may run alongside the Valorant Champions Tour, indicating Riot Games' commitment to mobile gaming esports.
Chinese organizations have apparently been actively preparing for this event, with several teams reportedly already putting together rosters or expressing interest. Rumored team names involved in this venture include APC, Ag Fox, ED, LDG, MG, Nip, Q9, RSG, TJB, and Wolves. While this information provides exciting prospects for Valorant Mobile esports, it's essential to await official announcements for confirmed details and dates.
