Speculation regarding the Valorant Mobile outside China continues among users as a little more information is revealed about the upcoming plans of Riot Games.

Immense interest has sparked following two recent interviews with Anushka Bhatnagar, who is the Riot Games India and South Asia Publishing Lead. Her interviews have discussed the mobile version of Valorant and its future markets outside of China.

While there has been no officially confirmed release date for the mobile version, her comments do lean towards a launch for the rest of the world currently in the works. This is immensely exciting for the users outside China who are awaiting the mobile version of the game.

Riot Games Confirm That Global Launch Is Under Development

One of the most promising signs of a global launch being in the works came from an interview with Sportskeeda on the 6th of August this year. Anushka Bhatnagar was questioned about when users could expect Valorant Mobile to launch outside of China.

Her response to this made it so that the global launch was a concrete plan being worked upon. She said, “The rest of the world launch remains something that is in the works, and we should hear more on it shortly”.

She further added that not much information could be shared at the time of the interview. Still, she did add another comment that claimed: “It is going to be a big one when it comes”. These comments clearly denote that something major is being worked on by Riot Games in order to bring Valorant Mobile to players outside of China.

A Second Interview Confirms And Adds Necessary Context

Anushka Bhatnagar was a part of a second interview only a few days following the first one, with THESPIKE, where further clarifications were made about the potential global launch of the Mobile version of the game.

The interview with THESPIKE still kept the timeline of the launch confidential, but users got to know that Riot Games is working towards creating a polished mobile gaming experience while considering all sorts of community feedback.

This suggests that they may be focusing on creating a user-friendly version based on what users want and expect from them.

No Global Release Date Has Been Confirmed As Of Yet

In spite of the comments made by the Publishing Lead, fans should not take the release as imminent since no dates or timeline have been officially confirmed.

There have also not been any confirmed updates or timelines regarding global beta or pre-registration as well. These interviews, thus, provide an overview of what Riot Games is currently working towards.

For now, only the following is confirmed: the global launch is being worked on, Riot will be sharing more details in due time, and they are considering community feedback during this developmental phase.

Until Riot officially shares more details, consumers will have to wait for information about the release, beta-testing, or pre-registration.

Players are encouraged to give feedback, which will be considered by Riot Games. In the meantime, players should wait for the company to reveal what comes next in terms of a confirmed global release date, beta timeline, and pre-registration dates.
