Riot Games announced the development of Valorant Mobile back in 2021. The company rarely updates on this project, and its release date remains unknown. Obtaining the license in China at least indicates that the game is not abandoned.
It is worth noting that the PC version of Valorant was launched in China in July 2023, seven months after NPPA approved its release and issued the license. The game quickly became a commercial hit. Tencent, which was responsible for its release, called the release of Valorant the most important Chinese release in 2023.
NPPA also issued licenses to games such as Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu!, Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury, Black Desert, and Dungeon Hunter 6. Since the beginning of the year, the regulator has approved 61 foreign games for release in China.
