Tencent teases VALORANT Mobile announcement at SPARK 2025

If you're a mobile gamer that has been patiently waiting to play VALORANT on your device, there might be some good news right around the corner. Tencent has announced that its annual SPARK event will be held on Tuesday, April 22, and that there will be several games revealed at the event, including multiple big name titles.

The wait might be over

One of these titles supposedly being shown at the event is VALORANT, which has people thinking that the long-awaited VALORANT mobile game will be unveiled at the event, along with a release date. SPARK is Tencent's annual gaming conference, where the company unveils multiple new projects in the works and various technology that they've been cooking up. In the trailer for SPARK 2025, there is an unknown figure holding a mobile device while multiple games flash on its screen. At the end of the trailer, games are shown on screen, including VALORANT and League of Legends.

To further strengthen the rumors that VALORANT Mobile will be getting a release date, there have been multiple official social media accounts in China made for the game, which could signify that Riot Games and Tencent are preparing for the upcoming announcement. Riot, however, has not substantiated any of these claims, but that won't stop the hype from rising even further. It is known that VALORANT Mobile has been in development for some time, with the public beta having started last year. The supposed gameplay does look rather smooth and the graphics look well-polished for a FPS on mobile.

If Tencent does announce VALORANT mobile, we could see a whole new market enter the scene with mobile gaming. The competitive scene could instantly blossom with the help of Riot, especially since competitive mobile gaming has seen a huge surge among fans in Eastern markets. There could be a large event with content creators to help showcase the game leading up to the official release, similar to VALORANT's console debut, which could help increase its popularity even further.
