Valorant Mobile has been a topic of discussion for many ever since Riot Games announced that the game is under development. Many mobile gamers who are fans of Valorant hope for the multiplayer shooter’s Android/iOS (or iPadOS) counterpart to become a reality soon.

However, Global Esports CEO and owner Rushindra Sinha’s recent comments on the release date of Valorant’s mobile game variant suggest another story.

In a short clip from Sinha’s live stream from February, he is seen sharing his opinion and an “exclusive” leak about the potential launch of Valorant’s mobile game version:

“I am gonna say it once and once only. I am not going to repeat it. This is exclusive leak of Valorant Mobile, happening right here, right now. This is coming straight from ‘Riot’…Okay? Straight from Riot. Valorant Mobile will take some time; don’t expect it this year… next year, maybe? But, as of right now, Valorant Mobile will take time.”

Rushindra Sinha further added, explaining the reason and hinting at a rumored open beta testing phase:

“Their (developers’) primary focus is Valorant PC; mobile game will arrive. It is in development. It’s come a long way. It’s going well. It may not be ready for release this year. Next year chances are a lot higher. There’s a possibility there might be an open beta test this year, but don’t expect the release. If it’s going happen, it will happen next year.”
