Digital Playground discusses what are the things Filipino players can expect from the game and the system requirements!
What to Expect from Valorant Mobile
Valorant Mobile is being designed as a genuine port of the PC game, where the core gameplay experience remains the same. What the players can look forward to is:
Familiar Agents and Weapons: Seek out a large pool of agents with unique special abilities and a wide variety of weapons that need to be deployed strategically.
Classic Maps and New Maps: Although the launch might comprise classic maps from the PC version, Valorant Mobile brings new maps such as “Shipyard,” which added new tactical elements to the existing maps.
Better Touch Controls: Riot Games and Lightspeed Studios have been working hard to introduce smart and responsive touch controls that provide precise aiming, movement, and ability usage on the mobile platform.
Team Deathmatch Mode: Apart from the normal strategic gameplay, there will also be a Team Deathmatch mode in Valorant Mobile with faster gameplay and warm-up matches.
In-Game Replays: A highly sought-after feature, in-game replays will allow players to replay their games and improve based on their strategies. No Cross-Play with PC: It is important to note that Valorant Mobile will have its own ecosystem, thus players on mobile will be playing against other mobile players alone.
